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.

Install new gate

$80

Varsity Lakes QLD, Australia

24th Mar 2024

Install new gate using old gate posts. Will need to remove old gate from gate post and possibly need to move latching side of gate post very slightly. Also open to other ways of doing it, but this is what I’ve come up with so far. The current gate post will need to be cut down at the base to shorten and dynabolt removed from brick/gate post. If you are experienced in putting bricks back on (2 came off when gate was removed by the worlds most useless tradesman) then please note that you are including this in your offer! Doesn’t need to be done if you aren’t confident in doing this as new gate is sorter and won’t need to be fixed to top bricks this time. I have a new D latch for the new gate too, but again open to better options See photos to help understand the task and feel free to ask any questions before submitting your offer. Thanks!

Repair wooden fence and back gate

$300

Springbrook QLD, Australia

30th Dec 2023

Job 1. Need a few broken and rotted planks replaced. The fence has kinda come off the back support so may need to look at that also. See job1 photo. We will have the bushes pruned back by the time you come. Job 2. Need the back gate repaired. A tree root pulled the back fence away from the side post so now it needs to be re-attached and will likely need a small extension of the back or side fence (whichever is easier). See job2 photo. - Due date: Flexible
