How installation works

From first visit to finished gate

Every gate is measured on site and fabricated to your entrance, not ordered to a stock size.

One team, start to finish

The team that fabricates your gate also installs it, so nothing is handed off to a subcontracted install crew.

Measure
We visit your property and measure the entrance: width, slope and clearance
Fabricate
Made in our Kilsyth workshop to match your fencing and site
Install
We install the gate and, if requested, fit or prepare it for automation
Arched double swing gate

Sliding or swing?

We install both. The right one depends on your driveway.

Sliding
Suits sloped, tight or narrow-frontage driveways
Swing
Suits flat driveways with clear space to swing
Single or double
Single leaf for narrower entrances, double for wider ones
Automation
Manual, or automatic with a motor fitted now or later
Slatted sliding gate

Automation and price

Automatic gate installation, and what it costs

Automatic gates

Every gate we build can be automation-ready, so you can fit a motor on day one or add it later. Planning ahead means the frame, hinge posts or track are already built to suit a motor.

Gate automation · What to ask before you buy

What affects the cost?

The gate style, opening width, panel design, finish and whether you automate. We measure on site and quote after, not from a stock price list.

Alex built a magnificent deck for our home. His excellent workmanship and expertise is very evident. I enjoyed great communication and customer care throughout the build. I highly recommend Adoni for anyone considering steel fabrication (fencing, gates, balustrades etc) or a decking project for peace of mind, service quality and delivery on time. A job well done, thank you!

FAQs

Gate installation questions, answered

What does gate installation include?

We measure your entrance on site, design and fabricate the gate in our Kilsyth workshop, and install it. If you want automation, we fit it or prepare the gate for it.

Can you install an automatic gate?

Yes. We can build the gate automation-ready now and fit a motor later, or automate it from day one.

Which gate suits a sloped driveway?

Sliding gates are usually the better choice on a slope, because the gate travels along the fence line instead of swinging through an arc that can hit the ground.

Do I need a permit to install a gate?

It depends on your property and council. For example, a property in a heritage overlay can need a planning permit. Check with your council, and we can give you the details of the gate.

How much does gate installation cost?

It depends on the gate style, opening width, panel design, finish and whether you automate. We measure on site and give you a straightforward quote.

Steel or aluminium gates?

We fabricate custom gates in steel and aluminium. Our aluminium vs steel guide explains the differences.

Where do you install gates?

We install across Melbourne’s East, including Kilsyth, Croydon, Ringwood, Bayswater, Boronia, Montrose, Wantirna, Doncaster, Templestowe, Kew and Hawthorn.
