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.

Investigate and remedy flashing downlight

$200

Prahran VIC, Australia

21st Jan 2025

One down light in ensuite turns on with normal illumination for 10-12 minutes. After this time the light begins to flash on for 10 seconds and off for 2 seconds constantly. The adjacent downlight functions normally. The ceiling is 3.2 metres high. You need to get up your own ladder to check the globe and wiring to understand why the intermittent flashing on and off is happening and fix it to stop the flashing so it functions normally.

Great communication, super easy to deal with. Would definitely use again.

Install Gate Hinge / fix stuck gate

$150

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

19th Jan 2025

Fix Back gate that is currently “sticking” at top (non hinge) side of gate. Suspect this is most likely due to slight movement of fence and gate. I believe the required fix is to (supply) and install an additional hinge near the top of the gate. Gate and fence are approx 2m high. Current hinges are rivet screws.

Daniel was wonderful to deal with! He is polite, skilled with his tools and a great problem solver. He was very professional, turned up on time, brought all the tools and kept me updated throughout the job with options. Nothing was too much trouble for him. I definitely recommend Daniel and will be contacting him again for any other handyman work that I need done.

Weld a plate onto our metal gate

$150

Abbotsford VIC 3067, Australia

7th Jan 2025

Our secure metal gate isn’t so secure. An intruder could reach through and turn the knob. Whoops. Would like a well-rated Handyperson/welder to come and resolve the problem, we think by sourcing a small metal plate and welding it beside the lock, but if there’s a better way of doing it that would solve the problem and look better than that solution please speak up! Photos attached show the problem. Looks like steel to me but you’ll know better than I will.

Turned up bang on time, we chatted through the options, showed clear attention to getting the little details right, and the result was great. Big recommend.

Repair metal gate that does not close. Potential re-hung required

$100

Coburg VIC 3058, Australia

27th Dec 2024

Fix / repair gate that does not close properly. Gate is rubbing against hanging poles and will not close properly. Needs to be repaired or rehung.

Omer arrived late on a Friday evening despite saying he’d be there in 20 minutes. He brought two others, which was unexpected. While he was polite and well-mannered, the quality of work was poor. Instead of properly re-hanging the gate, they used a hammer to force it into place. The job was not completed to a satisfactory standard, and I wouldn’t recommend this service based on the work quality.

Fix my gate alignment

South Yarra, Victoria

15th Dec 2024

Our front gate no longer closes. Not sure if it had sagged on the hinges or the wood is swollen or something else but it gradually required more and more effort to slam through the frame and now no longer does. Need someone handy, not sure what tools required. There is metal sheeting on the door.

Excellent work and so quick, thank you!!!

Check why electric gate doesn’t always work

$150

Coburg VIC 3058, Australia

12th Dec 2024

There’s a few issues with the driveway electric gate which seemed to be caused by the switch mechanism inside the power box. I would love to have this fixed by next Friday at the very latest. Examples: 1. Gate switch doesn’t fall into place every time i open the gate so very often once the gate has opened completely, the switch gets reactivated and pushes the gate back towards closing direction by about 10-20cm. 2. When opening gate goes further beyond the track limit and has started to slowly dig into the soil 3. Cog wheel sometimes slows down the gate closing automation. It makes a noise as if something was stuck underneath

Top bloke. Reliable, honest and fairly priced. He fixed our gate issue within the same day

Rebulid/repair wooden gate

$150

St Kilda, Victoria

6th Dec 2024

Wooden gate on hinges which was slowly coming apart has now fallen apart and needs to be put back together so I can shut it until it can rebuild it - gate also has digital lock with tongue that matches striker plate on fence - amount I'll agree to pay depends on amount of repair that is done, less for short term more for more permanent solution.

Excellent job 10/10 in all areas
