What does a gate installation service include?
You can get help with anything to do with gates, from gate selection and installation to repair and maintenance. Most gate installers are experienced with a range of fencing types, and can choose a gate to match your existing fence, or help install a fence alongside your gate.
Here are some of the most common types of gates and what you can expect with each service:
Automatic gates
Need automatic gates or electric gates installed or repaired? These are a popular option for driveways, with everything securely locked away and you don’t even have to get out of your car to open or close it. Your technician will have experience with automatic gate openers, including how to set up access so that your gate can open smoothly via a buzzer, remote, keypad, or intercom. They’ll measure the area and recommend the best gate type to fit, with the most suitable opening methods (swinging or sliding). Your gate installer can order in your gate materials, before installing everything onsite and showing you how to operate your new gate.
Swinging gates
Swinging gates are the most popular gate type because they’re simple to operate, with your gate suspended on a hinge, and held in place with a latch. Your gate installer will help recommend a gate style that will fit with your existing fence and other features, whether you need timber gates, aluminium gates, or even glass. They’ll order in the materials and assemble your gate onsite, ensuring its level and properly secured at the hinges. Finally, they’ll attach a latch at the correct height for easy opening and closing - with the option to padlock your gate for added security.
Sliding gates
Sliding gates are ideal for homes with limited space on either side of the gate, or for larger gates along driveways, where a swinging gate isn’t practical. Your gate installer will begin by measuring the area and recommending some suitable sliding gates to fit. They’ll order in the materials and begin by installing your footings and metal tracks for the gate to roll on. Next, they’ll put in place posts for your gate. Then they’ll insert wheels into the bottom of your gate and slide it onto the track and lock it into place. Sliding gates do need regular maintenance to ensure they’re clean and well lubricated, and you may need to book sliding gate repair if your gate stops working smoothly or gets damaged.
Pool gates
If you have a pool, you’ll need at least one or two gates for safe access to your pool area. Your pool gate installer will help you select a gate that matches your pool fence, whether glass or aluminium. They’ll install your gate between fence posts, ensuring it meets the regulations for your local area. Common regulations include self-closing and self-latching, latches at a minimum height, and only outwards-opening. If your pool gate doesn’t open or close properly, you’ll need to book pool gate repairs as soon as possible to ensure your pool is safe and compliant.

Automatic sliding gate fix
$100
Hawthorn VIC, Australia
25th Mar 2026
My driveway entry gate is not functioning properly and needs attention/service. It’s an automatic sliding gate powered by a Tau K100M motor. See photos. The gate will not open without manual effort as the cog on the motor will not grip on the gate frame (to pull and slide it open). It closes no problem. I have a video that shows this clearly. I’ve examined the parts and there doesn’t appear to be any wear and tear causing this. I suspect it just needs realignment now and then.
Punctual, efficient and knowledgeable. Fixed my issue and gave valuable advice. Recommended.

Auto Gate fix
$50
Camberwell VIC 3124, Australia
10th Mar 2026
I have a double swing automatic gate at my driveway. The gate used to operate normally where the right-side gate opens first, followed by the left-side gate after a short delay, so they don’t interfere with each other. Recently, the sequence seems to have changed. The left gate is now trying to open first while the right gate is still closed, which causes the left gate to hit or be blocked by the right gate. Because of this, the gate cannot open properly and the system stops working as expected. It appears the opening sequence or timing between the two motors may be incorrect, or the controller settings may have changed. No physical damages only need proper programming

Repair and rehang external gate
$400
Ashburton VIC, Australia
16th Jan 2026
Task: Repair / re-hang external gate – hinge failure due to wood rot I need a handyman or carpenter to fix the hinges on my external side gate. The gate has a metal frame with vertical wooden battens. One of the hinges has pulled away because the wooden fence post/stud it was fixed to has rotted. Job likely involves removing the gate, repairing or replacing the affected section of timber (or installing a new mounting plate/post), and securely re-attaching or replacing the hinge so the gate opens and closes properly. Gate is outdoors and exposed to weather. Materials and fix should be suitable for exterior use.
Good response times and completed task as required. Appreciate your help!
