How much space is needed for a sliding gate?
A sliding gate requires an equal-width clear space along the fence line to fully retract. We’ll review this in your on-site consultation and adjust the design as needed.
Is operating the sliding gates noisy?
Not at all; our automated aluminum sliding gates are designed to operate quietly and smoothly. With proper installation and high-quality motors, you’ll be able to enjoy quiet operation day and night.
How do aluminium sliding gates work?
Aluminium sliding gates use a track system with rollers to move smoothly from side to side. When the gate is automated, a motor pulls it open and closed with a toothed rack.
It’s a simple setup that produces consistent results day after day. If you’re unsure which mechanism suits your driveway, we’re always happy to assess it for you.
What kind of maintenance does an automated gate require?
How do you install an electric sliding gate?
A proper installation consists of preparing the track area, mounting the gate, installing the motor, wiring the system safely, and configuring the controls.
Because the process requires electrical work and precise alignment, it is best handled by professionals. If you’re considering automation, we can provide a complete installation from beginning to end.

TESTIMONIALS
15+ Years of Experience and 1000’s of Happy Customers
The team at Schmidt Aluminium were super helpful and very patient through the design process. Their work is always of a very high standard and very timely. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Justin Mistry Hi there, the lads at Schmidt did a great job installing double gates within hours each side of the house. I needed custom made so there was a lead time. The aluminium finish needs little care and comes with key locks. I chose pool height fence & gates with vertical slats which let the breeze through & keep pets safe. A nice finish to the property. Thanks lads.Posted on Google Trac i Schmidt Aluminium have been fantastic to be associated with over the past two-and-a-half years. Very professional and always a pleasure to deal with. Terry Foley - EC Credit ControlPosted on Google Terry Foley The service from Schmidt was amazing. The communication system they use keeps you informed at all times, and if needing to speak to anyone personally, Steph was always so helpful and sounded lovely.

We were very impressed with the whole process from start to finish.. they're easy yet professional to deal with, right from the ordering through to the installation. We're extremely happy with the quality of our new gate and would highly recommend them for your aluminum fabrication needs. Thankyou again.Posted on Google Chris Loney Schmidt did a super job of our security gate and side panel. Erin kept us informed at very stage of the process. We are grateful that she fitted us into their busy schedule and that the finished work exceeded our expectations.Posted on Google Jane Parry We cannot talk highly enough of Daniel, Erin and all the staff at Schmidt. Very friendly, great communication and the result is fantastic. Most companies were either not wanting to take on the job of doing our bifold gates, or were charging outrageous prices. Highly recommend. Thanks to you all, we love the end result. Cheers Gary and SuePosted on Google Susan Diane
