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.

I just need someone to install the posts, fence panel, sliding gate and track, secure everything with bolts, and install the new mailbox. You’ll need to bring a grinder and the necessary tools for the installation.

Gate Latch Post Repair – Kalkallo VIC

$400

Kalkallo VIC 3064, Australia

20th Oct 2026

Looking for an experienced handyman or fencing contractor to repair and realign a steel gate latch post. The post runs all the way to ground level and is currently fixed to the neighbouring property’s Hebel wall. The original installation appears to have been poorly secured, allowing the post to move. A previous repair involved shifting the post and drilling new mounting holes, but the gate is now misaligned and does not close or latch correctly. Work required: * Inspect existing post and mounting points. * Reposition and securely fix the post using an appropriate method for Hebel construction. * Assess whether securing the post independently at ground level would provide a better long-term solution. * Realign the gate latch so the gate closes properly. * Seal and tidy up unused fixing holes where practical. The post itself appears reusable.

Pascoe Vale VIC 3044, Australia

14th Oct 2026

I am sure this is an easy job for someone with the right knowledge, we have a heavy gate with no gate post on the wall it needs to be latched to. The wall we can attach it to is rendered, with bricks behind. My son and I have stuffed around for ages trying to find the right drill bit, the right concrete screws, and so on, but it's not what we do, so we need a good tradie that will likely knock it off in an hour or so. I am setting the price as the turn up price, extra for your time. Its best to do it when my son is there, so after shcool time or on a weekend, you can set a suitable time with him.
