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 Need someone to fix a gate

$1,250

Wollert VIC, Australia

13th Mar 2024

I am looking for someone to repair and paint this gate. I need the support post that's on a 45-degree angle removed, new footings for the main poles will need to be done. The stops on the bottom of one side of the gate has also come off so I need a new one supplied and fitted along with a stop at the edge of the asphalt to keep the gate open. Because new footings will be needed, I am not sure if the main gate post will need to be replaced, because the new footings need to go deeper than the original ones, longer posts might be required as I want the gate to stay the same height. I would also like it repainted black as the paint has a few scratches in it. Location is Wollert. Certified professionals only please. Cheers.

Weld sliding gate wheel onto frame

$60

Macleod, Victoria, Australia

29th Jan 2024

I need someone to weld 2 x sliding gate wheels onto the gates frame. The gate is fully functional, however the screws that secure the wheels to the frame have become loose. I would like the two wheels be welding so they stay secure during the operation of the gate. The welding could be done in situ as the weight of the gate clamps the wheels in place. Alternatively the gate may need to be lifted of the track, in which case I can help you lift the gate off and then back onto the track. Thanks 😊 - Due date: Flexible

Fantastic job. Great communication, punctual and they did a great job. Highly recommend
