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.

🔥Budget is negotiable 🔥 Hi! We’re in Manly NSW and need help transforming our existing motorised steel gate. • Gate frame + motor are already installed and working. • We want to make the gate soundproof by adding solid acoustic panels inside the frame. • On the outside (street-facing side), we’d like vertical timber battens (or timber-look aluminium) for a modern finish (see inspo photo). • Must be durable and weatherproof. • You’ll need to supply + install the cladding materials.

Front electric gate and fence

North Curl Curl NSW, Australia

The total frontage is approximately 15 metres. Yellow line - the fence Purple line - a dual-opening electric gate Red line - the side gate that leads to the stairs I've attached a reference photo. It doesn't need to be an exact match — the main idea is a low retaining wall with a few pillars, and a plain vertical metal (possibly aluminium) gate and fence.

Secure floorboards, paint ceiling mould, remove furniture, fit gate.

$950

Collaroy NSW, Australia

12th Jul 2025

Job Description: We need help with a few handyman tasks across two locations: 1. At our rental apartment in Collaroy: • Secure/re-fix loose floorboards. • Paint over or clean mould on a section of the ceiling. • Remove some old furniture (1 couch, a storage rack, small heater, and a few minor items). Should fit in half a ute tray. • Repair or adjust flyscreen door. • Sliding glass door is hard to close (requires two hands) — likely needs adjustment or roller repair. 2. At our home in Dee Why: • Supply and install a temporary gate spanning 4.5m–6.5m wide, approx. 3–5ft high. • Gate doesn’t need to be permanent (we’re rebuilding in 12 months), so a second-hand or budget-friendly option from Bunnings/Amazon is ideal. • Repair flyscreen door here as well. Please bring tools/materials or let us know what’s needed. Flexible on timing.

Build 2 small sections of fence and a gate at our home in Mona Vale

$3,000

Mona Vale NSW, Australia

6th Jul 2025

Build and install two small sections of 1.8m lap and cap timber fencing and a steel framed side gate with quality hardware. The first section is 7.4M and The second section is 2.65M including the gate. We require you to make or supply a steel framed / timber clad side gate. Please note the ground is sloping so we want to keep the top of the fence the same level and shorten the palings at the bottom as the ground goes up toward the street. Also please quote to remove old side gate (pictured) and section of fencing which has become warped. There is 1 small to medium tree stump that may need cutting back too where the side fence will go. Please quote to supply all materials. We also want the fence and gate painted, if you’re able to do this part of the work too, please indicate in offer. Otherwise we can have this done separately if preferred. We can supply paint.

Ahmed and his team did a great job building our fence and side gate. He was great at problem solving to ensure we reached the desired result and was an excellent communicator. I’d definitely use Ahmed again in the future.

Hi there, We have just rendered and painted our external wall and had to remove our garden gate in the process. We have restored the gate and now want to reinstall.

We would love for you to go and look at the gate to see what hardware is needed, then go to Bunnings to purchase, the come back to install. We will of course pay for the required hardware.

Install 3 Gates

$200

Seaforth NSW, Australia

23rd Jun 2025

I have 3 gates that have been removed at my rental property that I have just moved in to. One is a steel gate and the other two are glass gates. The gates are in perfect condition and as far as I can tell must have been removed because of issues with the hinges. I assume the gates, just need new hinges and bolts/catches fitting and rehanging. This isn't a big job but I am looking for a handyman/ maintenance man and I am currently compiling a list of several other jobs that need doing which I would be happy to consider you for if you do a good job with this at a reasonable price. I estimate it could be up to a full days work for somebody for the other work.

Punctual, good communication and completed work to a great standard. Happy with the result.

A pool gate needs to be converted to a fence panel. This needs to be done so that it is just fixed to existing posts on either side. This is likely to require modifying pool fence brackets to hold the gate panel in place. Any other experienced solutions will be welcome.
