Aluminium Sliding Gate Benefits

One of the biggest benefits of an aluminium sliding gate is the added security it provides. By controlling vehicle and pedestrian access at the boundary, your gate creates a strong first layer of protection around your property.

The Queensland Police Service recommends a layered approach to home security, starting with the external perimeter. Read their home security recommendations.

How do I start with a new custom sliding gate?

Simply contact us online or by phone at 0419 204 452. Within 48 hours, we will schedule a quick consultation to discuss your goals and design preferences, as well as provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate.

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?

Very little, which is one of the advantages. A quick clean of the track, checking for debris, and a yearly inspection of the motor are usually enough to keep everything running well. If you prefer, we can also handle maintenance for you so your gate stays trouble-free.

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.

How much do sliding gates cost?

The price varies according to the size, style, automation options, and site conditions. Aluminium is less expensive than other materials, and we can customise a gate to fit your budget. Requesting a quick quote is the easiest way to get an accurate figure.

What happens if I have a problem with my gate?

We’re available to diagnose and fix issues, whether it’s the motor, alignment, track obstruction, or general wear. Just contact us and we’ll organise a prompt visit.

Do you work in homes and businesses?

Yes, we design and install sliding gates for both residential and commercial properties. If you need better security or easier access control, we can help configure the right setup.

What else do you make besides gates?

We also manufacture fencing, screens, balustrades, and customised aluminium products. If you need consistent styling across your property, we can match everything to the same look.

Do you install regular fences?

Yes, we supply and install aluminium fencing and panels suitable for homes, units, and commercial sites. We can walk you through each style that is available.

What types of fencing are available?

There is a wide range of options available, including tubular and slat fencing, privacy screens, and customised designs. If you want something unique, we can make it to fit your space.

How long does gate installation take?

Most installations can be completed within a day once fabrication is done. Larger gates or complex automation setups may need a little longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline during quoting.

      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.

      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. The guys did the job in one day and it looks unbelievable, has made  such a difference to the entry into the apartment. Worth every cent!

      We recently had an electric driveway gate made and installed by Schmidt Aluminum Fabrication.  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.

      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.

      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 Sue
