We understand that installing a new gate is a significant investment on your property, and we want to make the process as easy and transparent as possible. To ensure your manual or automatic gate is a perfect fit for your needs, we’ve streamlined the process into three simple steps, so you can rest assured that your gate installation will be completed smoothly and professionally.
Here’s a detailed look at each step of our process, from your initial estimate to the final installation.
Step 1: Estimate Based on Your Dimensions
The journey begins when you reach out to us for an estimate. This step ensures that you have a clear idea of the costs and options available before moving forward.
- Browse Our Selection: We recommend browsing our Gates, Fences, and Architectural Series pages to explore the different styles, materials, and finishes available. Whether you’re looking for a simple driveway gate, a secure entryway, or a custom-design, we have a wide range of options to suit every need.
- Fill Out the Contact Form: After selecting your preferred style, provide us with your gate’s dimensions by filling out our “Contact Us” form. You’ll need to estimate the width of the gap where the gate will be installed, as well as the desired height of your gate.
- Receive Your Estimate: Once we receive your information, we’ll email you an estimate based on your specifications. This gives you a quick overview of the costs involved, including the gate style, hardware, and installation.
If the estimate meets your expectations, and you’re ready to move forward, we’ll arrange a site visit (available in the greater Tauranga area only) to take precise measurements and provide a more accurate, final quote.
Step 2: Manufacturing Process
After you’ve reviewed and accepted the final estimate, we can move forward to the next stage: manufacturing your custom gate.
- Deposit and Commencement of Manufacturing: To begin the manufacturing process, we require a 50% deposit. This deposit confirms your commitment to the project and allows us to start crafting your gate to your exact specifications.
- Fabrication: Our skilled team will start by fabricating your gate based on the design elements that you’ve selected. Whether you’ve chosen a modern, minimalist design or something more intricate, we ensure high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail at every stage of production.
- Powder Coating: Once the manufacturing is complete, we send your gate to be powder-coated in your chosen color. Powder coating not only enhances the appearance of your gate but also provides durability and weather resistance, ensuring your gate looks great and lasts for years.
- Completion and Notification: When the powder coating process is complete, we’ll contact you to arrange a convenient installation time. At this point, your gate is ready for installation.
his stage typically takes a few weeks to complete, and once the gate returns from the powder coating process, we’ll be ready to install it at your property.
Step 3: Installation and Final Payment
The final stage is the installation, where your gate becomes a functional part of your property. Here’s what you can expect:
- Scheduling Installation: We’ll work with you to schedule an installation date that fits your schedule. Our experienced installation team will handle all aspects of the setup, from ensuring that the gate is securely installed to making sure it operates smoothly.
- Final Payment: Once your gate is installed and fully operational, the remaining 50% of the payment is due. We accept payment on the day following installation, ensuring that everything is completed to your satisfaction before finalising the project.
- Completion Timeframe: The entire process from the time we receive your deposit to installation typically takes 3-4 weeks. This timeline includes the manufacturing, powder coating, and installation phases, ensuring that you receive a high-quality, customised gate in a timely manner.
