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.

Fix a sticking gate
$70
Northcote VIC, Australia
14th Mar 2026
My gate post is pulling away from the wall it’s secured to, causing the gate to stick. The top of the post needs to be re-secured to the wall. The gate post is 70mm thick at the top, and the wall is brick. I’ve got two 100mm Ankascrews, but you’ll need a good hammer drill with a long bit and a 13 or 14mm hex socket.
Replace gate deadbolt so it engages the strike plate
$100
Brunswick West VIC, Australia
13th Mar 2026
extend gate deadbolt so it properly engages the strike plate I need a handyman to fix the locking mechanism on my gate. The deadbolt (sliding bolt) from the lock does not extend far enough to properly reach and engage the strike plate/receiver on the frame. Scope of work: Inspect the existing surface-mounted gate deadbolt. Replace the bolt mechanism or install a longer throw deadbolt so the bolt extends far enough to fully engage the strike plate. Ensure the lock aligns correctly with the receiver/keeper and operates smoothly. Adjust or replace the strike plate if needed to ensure a secure lock. The goal is for the deadbolt to extend further across the gap and securely latch into the receiver on the opposite side.

Welding gate hinges and repair gates
$500
Northcote VIC, Australia
25th Feb 2026
Repair back gate, as shown in photos. The price is for someone to undertake enough repairs so that the back gate can be bolted shut and locked. There are two swinging gates at the back of our property that open up onto a laneway. One of the gates has come off its hinges and no longer lines up with the other gate which still swings fine. I need someone to repair the gate that has come off its hinges by welding back on two (or more) brand-new hinges. Supplying of hinges and all other materials are to be by the contractor and included in the price. Back gate is rather heavy so might take two people to repair, depending on how skilled you are.
Nice guy. Was on time, and fixed my problematic gate, thanks!

Metal gate sitting too far from latch – needs realignment
$80
Prahran VIC, Australia
17th Feb 2026
My external metal gate is no longer aligning properly with the latch. The gate appears to sit too far away from the strike plate/lock, so it won’t close or stay secured.

Ashkan was excellent to deal with. He was efficient, identified and fixed the gate issue promptly. Very happy with the outcome and would definitely use his services again.
