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.

Child Stair Gate - Buy & Install

$300

Brunswick VIC, Australia

10th May 2024

We have a staircase that is difficult to install a child gate and need someone who can come up and figure out a solution. We only require the gate at the top of the stair case which has seperations that you can see in the attached pictures. We're renting this house so we can't create permanent damage or at least we need to minimise any damage caused. You will need to buy the child gate and make sure the dimensions fit. The main issue is also how to approach the issue of the gaps in the stair wall as you can see in the pictures. The dimensions are of the stairs are: 1.01m high 93cm width

Highly recommended - was very professional and the job completed to a higher standard than even expected.

Reattach a wooden fence gate that broke off

$200

Brunswick VIC, Australia

9th May 2024

The wooden gate on the side of the house leading to the backyard has fallen off due to the timber post it’s attached to splitting. I’m guessing the best way is to attach a wooden plank to the post to stop the splitting and then reattach the gate to the plank (open to other solutions). Will require measuring, cutting and drilling (and potentially a plank and screws). Additionally, the front gate needs to be realigned a bit so it closes more smoothly. This should be a quick 10 minute task.

Repair and reinforce a storage cage steel gate padbolt

$240

St Kilda VIC, Australia

8th May 2024

Need to repair (and weld) a storage cage steel gate padbolt. Someone tried to cut it open with a bolt cutter. Would like it reinforced as well with more steel if possible, but should not impede the current brass padlock I'm currently using with it (pictured in photos). I don't have any materials, so this should be factored in your quote. Also to fix the outside gate for my apartment. Two metal parts have come apart and need welding also.

Andre did a fantastic job and exceeded my expectations. A perfectionist. Would definitely hire again and highly recommended.

My small front gate no longer closes as the post it sits on has moved over time. I need this fixed with one important condition - you cannot damage the creeping fig growing on the post because this creeper covers the adjoining fence and it must be protected.
