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.

Relocate a gate

$150

Buddina QLD, Australia

13th Mar 2024

I need a carpenter or someone with building/handyman skills to take an existing gate down from the back of my house and put it at the front entryway to my house. It doesn’t have to be the most spectacular and perfect job of all time it just needs to be functional and keep the kids/dog inside. The gap at the entrance is slightly wider than the gate itself, so I need someone who can bring their own tools/materials (if required) to find a solution and make it fit. Need a solution orientated person that can complete the job as I am not able to. I have allowed for x3 hours of work $50/hour in case you need to pop off to Bunnings to grab any materials (if it is determined that is required I will give you cash for the trip to Bunnings). For some reason Airtasker isn’t uploading images - I can send pics in a messenger thread prior to confirming the job. Thank you!

Got the job done - very happy

New Sliding gate has tail on wrong side - Tail nee

$250

Tewantin QLD, Australia

29th Dec 2023

The gate has been supplied recently with the Tail on the wrong side. It needs to be cut/grinded off and welded onto the opposite side. The gate is powder coated so will need to sand back a little to allow the welding. Once welded, it is to be sprayed to cover the weld and protect from rust. This is a process we have done before, and happy to explain over the phone in more detail if required.
