How we Quote
If its a driveway or pedestrian gate you are wanting please send us pictures of the spot where you want your gate from different angles showing the area where the gate is to open or a drawing. Please include some basic dimensions if possible of the gate (see below for what dimensions) and any slopes. A description of what type and style of gate you'd like is also helpful, please see Gate Types and Styles page to learn more. We normally get back to you with suggestions and ball park pricing within a day or two, if not we have a lot to get through so please be patient.
Sorry we don't normally come out and quote gates on site unless it is something quite unique that can't effectively be looked at with pictures and drawings. Site visits are $150 if in Brisbane or more if out of Brisbane.
Dimensions for gates required: width of the gate opening between fence posts, desired height of the gate, amount of slope across and up the driveway from the road and amount of room for the gate to open.
We also need to know what style of gate you would like. That is whether it is a sliding gate, swing gate etc... but also what you'd like the gate to look like that is like a traditional wrought iron gate or one with slats. You can find popular gate styles and get and instant quote online. See Gate Styles, otherwise if you browse the Internet for pictures of gates and you find one you like please include this in your email to us. We can make just about any style of gate as we custom design and build everything.
Power Requirements for Automatic Gates. If you can get 240V mains power to your gate this is great, you only need power on one side even for double swing gates although these do need a low voltage cable across the driveway for the second motor. Almost all the motors we have can be powered by Solar or Low Voltage cable that you can install yourself. See Power Options or Choosing Gate Motors.
For Gate Intercoms and Cameras we need to know the distance from the gate to the house or office if it's a gated community and what power source is at the gate. We mostly use IP Video Intercoms that use a Cat 5 network cable and can be made wireless with a WiFi Link if cabling is too difficult, these do need a router with Internet connection to work. If you don't have this we also have Analogue audio and video intercoms that require a special cable between the gate and house or wireless audio only using the mobile phone network that require only a power source and wiring to a gate motor or lock. See Gate Intercoms
We install Brisbane only and don't know anyone who installs elsewhere else sorry but we do supply only for DIY installers Australia Wide, no exporting outside of Australia though.
