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.

Remove Colorbond Gate and Posts

$100

Balgownie NSW, Australia

1st Mar 2024

Remove gate and additional paneling from Colorbond gate. This is all just tek screwed together. Cut 2x posts down at ground level. One post is partially rendered to the house but should not be difficult to remove once cut. Remove gate, panelling and posts offsite. Gate is about 4'-5' high. The posts are set in concrete, the concrete is not to be damaged, hence cutting the posts. Ideally the posts are cut 1" below the concrete level so future concreting covers all evidence. Get creative here if you can. Perhaps a power hacksaw can be employed to split the post at it's angles and a cold chisel and hammer can bend the material down out of sight below the concrete line.

Accepted the challenge and accomplished as desired. Great work.

Mangerton NSW 2500, Australia

11th Nov 2023

We have just had Electric gates installed on our property. We would like to make a barrier underneath the gates so that our dog doesn't escape. We were hoping to have a frame welded with wheels onto the bottom of the gates so that as the gates open the frame moves on hinges to the sides with the gates. The gates are Emu Wire and we would like the framed area to match the existing gate. We have the Emu Wire for the job. I found this clip as something similar that we would like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdVA8j3nsxM&ab_channel=TheUltimateHandyman Kind regards Sylvia - Due date: Flexible
