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.

Replace metal side gate with simple timber gate

$300

Leichhardt NSW 2040, Australia

16th Sep 2026

Helping an elderly neighbour to slowly fix up their aging and weather damaged frontage. Looking for a carpenter/handyman to remove the existing narrow metal side gate and replace it with a simple, sturdy timber gate matching the basic cottage/picket style of the existing front fence. The priority is a quick, practical and cost-effective solution rather than elaborate custom joinery. Photos show the existing gate, passage and adjacent white timber fence. Scope: * Remove and dispose of existing metal gate if required. * Measure opening and fabricate/supply a timber gate to fit. * Simple vertical timber/picket construction, visually sympathetic to the existing white cottage fence. * Prefer treated pine or another economical exterior-grade timber. * Install suitable hinges and a straightforward latch. * Gate should swing freely, close securely and withstand normal outdoor exposure. * Ideally paint white to match the existing fence; alternatively quote separately for painting if cheaper for us to do ourselves. * Existing posts/walls may be used for fixing if suitable; please advise if an additional timber post is required. * No need to replace or modify the rest of the fence. Please quote an all-inclusive price for labour + material, and mention whether removal/disposal and painting are included. Happy for you to use standard off-the-shelf materials and keep the design simple to minimise cost. Timing: ASAP / flexible for someone who can fit it around another nearby job.

Make a custom built light removable barrier across my hallway + gate

$200

Strathfield NSW, Australia

2nd Apr 2026

I need a custom built light, removable barrier across my hallway. No gaps and at a height of about 120 cm, to keep cats out. Made out of a light material,, easy to lift and put away when necessary. May be acrylic or plexiglass has been suggested or whatever is really light but will stay in place. No drilling, just using perhaps Velcro on the walls or L brackets was a suggestion. Or whatever is the best and easiest to takeoff and put on also needs some kind of gate through it so I can walk in and out and close behind me. I need you to come to my house and have a look at that space and take measurements to get it exactly right. Cats can get through smallest gaps, so need to really plan this out properly. Also need this to be very easily taken off and on and stored away when not needed.

Fuat did an excellent job in constructing the barrier I needed. He came up with the best idea ever. I am extremely impressed with that as well as all the work he put into it!! I highly recommend Fuat to complete any job you may have. He will do it perfectly!! I am so very happy with the finished product!! Better than I ever imagined. He is also such a polite and friendly person, which makes such a difference Thank you very much, Fuat!!

We want to install a remote operated automatic gate at the front of our house. Ideally Bifold gate with motor attaached to the door so it doesn't take extra space. Or a sliding door. If it can curve into a back wall, would be best. If not, open on a hinge. Since its a small driveway, i would hope you can do this without taking too much space from the driveway. You would be expected to supply and install the gate. Build the side fence to accompany the gate for the entire entrance is blocked. Note: Electric connection not available so needs to be brought from the house (approx 20 ft).
