Reasons to love automated gates
Enhanced security
Automated gates with secure access provides better control over who enters and exits your property, preventing unauthorised access.
Convenience and ease
You can open and close the gate remotely from your car, smartphone, or even via a keypad, reducing the hassle of getting out and manually operating it. This is especially convenient during bad weather or late-night arrivals
Privacy
If your property is in a public area or has high visibility, an automated gate can create a physical barrier that reduces the likelihood of prying eyes or unwanted visitors
Enhanced street appeal
You can customise a gate to suit your home or property style and vision. Homes with automated gates are often seen as more secure, private and luxurious, which can increase their resale value
Reduce wear and tear
Automated gates reduce the wear and tear that comes with manual operation, especially for heavy gates. Automatic systems are designed for regular use and are often built to last longer than manual alternatives

Automate your
existing gate
Do you have an existing front gate? Are you forever getting in and out of the car to open and close, or are you simply not using the gate because of the hassle?
We can fix this. Upgrade your existing gate with an automated opener, meaning you can open and close the gate from the comfort of your car, or home.

-
No — all of our systems include manual release mechanisms, and we can also offer battery backup so your gate can still operate during power outages.
-
Yes — we install gates for all types of properties, including farms and acreages. Automated gates are great for rural settings where managing animals or controlling access over long driveways is a priority.
Even if there is no power available at the gate, we can install a solar and battery solution to make life easy
-
We recommend regular servicing to keep your gate running smoothly. If you can’t remember the last time yours was checked, it’s probably due. Servicing helps prevent breakdowns and extends the life of your system.
-
Yes, we can repair and service both gates we’ve installed, and existing systems. If your gate is sticking, slow, or has stopped working altogether — give us a call and we’ll get it sorted.
-
We offer a quality range of solar systems to power your gate automation, or we can arrange for a local licensed electrician to install 240v power for you.
-
It depends on your property, the height and location of the gate, and whether it opens onto a footpath or road reserve. Some gates may require council approval, while others may not.
If you're unsure, we recommend checking with your local council before getting started. We can also help you understand what needs to be considered when planning your gate.
-
The right gate starts with understanding what you want it to do. Whether you're looking for better security and street appeal, want to keep pets contained, or need to control access to a rural property, the purpose of the gate will help determine the best design.
We'll also consider your driveway layout, available space, ground slope and whether you want the gate automated. From sliding and swing gates to more specialised designs, we'll help you find a solution that works for your property.
-
It depends on your property and how much space you have available.
Swing gates need enough room to open safely, which can make them challenging on sloping or shorter driveways. Sliding gates need a clear run beside the driveway but can be a great option where space or ground conditions make a swing gate impractical.
We'll assess your site and recommend the option that will operate safely and reliably.
-
Where possible, driveway gates should be set back from the property boundary to reduce the risk to pedestrians and passing traffic.
We also recommend considering a separate pedestrian gate. It provides a safer way for people to enter and leave the property without using the vehicle gate, and means you still have pedestrian access if the automated gate is temporarily unavailable.
Every property is different, so we'll help you work out the best position and access arrangement for your site.
-
Safety is one of the most important considerations when installing an automated gate. A gate is a moving machine, so the system needs to be designed, installed and maintained with the people, pets and vehicles using the property in mind.
Modern automated gate systems can include safety features such as photoelectric sensors, obstacle detection and force limitation to help prevent injury or damage.
We can assess the risks associated with your gate and recommend appropriate safety measures for your property.
-
Automated gates need to be designed and installed in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3814. This includes considering the gate, automation system, safety devices, surrounding environment and how people will use the gate.
Safety features can include photoelectric sensors, safety edges, obstacle detection and force limitation, depending on the system and site.
Our team can help ensure your automated gate is designed with safety as a priority and explain the safety features included in your system.
-
Absolutely. Custom gates are one of our specialties.
We can design and manufacture a gate to complement your existing fence, home or property. Whether you're looking to match an existing style, create a modern statement entrance or build something completely unique, we'll work with you to find a design that suits.
We also work with quality local gate manufacturers when needed, helping us provide the right solution for your budget and time frame.
-
Each material has its advantages, so the right choice depends on your property, design preferences and how much maintenance you're comfortable with.
Aluminium is lightweight, low maintenance and won't rust, making it a popular choice for automated gates.
Steel offers excellent strength and is well suited to security-focused applications.
Timber provides a warm, natural look but generally requires more ongoing maintenance.
We'll help you choose a material that suits your gate design, budget and the conditions at your property.
-
Yes. There are a range of smart access options available for automated gates, including smartphone apps, Wi-Fi, GSM and Bluetooth systems.
You can also combine phone control with options such as keypads, remotes and intercoms, depending on how you want people to access your property.
For example, you can use your phone to let a visitor or delivery driver in without needing to be at the gate. We'll help you choose an access system that fits the way you use your property.
-
In most cases, yes. Modern gate automation systems can integrate with a range of access options, including remote controls, keypads, intercoms, smartphone apps and vehicle detection systems.
This can make it easier to manage access for family, visitors, tradespeople and delivery drivers, while giving you greater control over who enters your property.
We'll assess your existing equipment and recommend compatible options before installation.
-
Every automated gate is different, so the cost depends on factors such as the size and design of the gate, materials, site conditions, automation system and access control options.
As a general guide, you can expect to budget around:
Automating an existing single gate: $2,000–$3,000
Automating an existing double gate: $3,000–$5,000
Automated single swing gate: $4,000–$6,000
Automated double swing gate: $7,000–$10,000
Automated sliding gate: $8,000–$11,000
Solar-powered automation: approximately $2,000–$5,000 additional
These are indicative prices only and the final cost will depend on your property and requirements. The best way to get an accurate price is with a free site assessment and quotation.
-
Lead times depend on the design, materials, automation system and current workload.
Because we manufacture many of our gates in-house, we have greater control over the process and lead times than suppliers relying entirely on pre-manufactured products.
As a general guide, most custom automated gate projects take around four to six weeks from approval to installation. We'll provide a more accurate time frame once we've assessed your project.
Is your gate due for a service?
We can help with that
When’s the last time your gate was serviced? If you can’t remember, then it’s probably time. Regular servicing of your gate opener prevents sudden failure, ensures continued smooth movement and helps your gate opener to last longer.
