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.

Timber gate repair

$150

Ascot Vale VIC, Australia

24th May 2021

The gate appears to have shifted off its hinges slightly, and is no longer aligned with the lock mechanism. As a result, it is sticking to the post and the lock no longer catches. The gate needs to be re-aligned so that it no longer sticks on the post. The lock mechanism may also need repair as it no longer appears to lock properly - if you are able to assess what needs to be done to fix it, this would be a bonus!

Sermet did a fantastic job re-aligning and repairing our broken gate - he was thorough, very professional and went above and beyond to make sure the job was completed to a very high standard. He was prompt and efficient and very easy to deal with - I would thoroughly recommend him! Thank you, Sermet!
