    Pedestrian Gates – – – –

    The Gate You Actually Use Every Day

    People spend weeks choosing a front fence and roughly four seconds deciding on the side gate. Then they use those walk-through gates twice a day for the next decade and wonder why it drags on the paving, why the gate latch jams in winter, or why the timber has split along the bottom rail after three Perth summers.

    Pedestrian gates Perth homeowners install as an afterthought become the most frequently operated moving part on the property. If the gate panel, gate post, and gate hinges are not fitted properly from the start, it will remind you every single morning.

    We are a pedestrian gate manufacturer that builds custom built, custom pedestrian gates from aluminium, steel, Colorbond, and timber for Perth homes and commercial sites. Each gate is manufactured to the exact gate width of your opening and hung on gate hardware rated for the weight of the panel and the frequency of use. That is the value of custom gate manufacturing over off the shelf products.

    Our pedestrian gate installation process starts with a site visit where we measure the opening, check the post spacing, assess the ground level, and talk through how you actually use that specific access point. We provide expert advice on gate styles, gate options, and materials during every consultation, because the right gate design for a poolside entry is not the right gate for a laneway side access.

    Why Our Pedestrian Gates Outlast The Rest

    Every pedestrian gate installation starts with a physical measurement of your opening, not an estimate from a photo. We fit aluminium pedestrian gates, steel pedestrian gates, and Colorbond pedestrian gates into openings from 700 millimetres to 1,500 millimetres wide, including non-standard gaps between brick piers, retaining walls, and existing fence posts. Custom sizing to suit your individual requirements means zero gaps, no dragging, and a gate that swings true from day one. Our experienced technicians handle the measurement, manufacture, and gate installation as a single process.

    A security gate does not need to look like a checkpoint. We install concealed magnetic latches, keyed deadbolts, keyed lock mechanisms, combination keypads, and digital locks depending on the level of security you need and the look you want to keep. Every matching gate we build integrates the locking hardware into the gate frame so nothing looks bolted on as an afterthought. Security and street appeal are not competing priorities when the gate hardware is chosen properly.

    Perth’s summer heat warps timber, UV degrades cheap finishes, and coastal salt eats through unprotected steel within a few seasons. We select materials based on where your property sits. Aluminium gates get marine grade powder coated finishes for coastal suburbs. Steel gates are hot dip galvanised before finishing. Timber gates use seasoned hardwood with stainless steel hardware so the fixings do not stain the wood. Every material choice is made to handle Perth conditions, not to keep costs down.

    A pedestrian gate should look like it was always part of the fence, not something added later by a different contractor. We match slat spacing, profile widths, colours, and post caps so the Colorbond gate or aluminium slat gate blends seamlessly with the fence line. For Colorbond fences, we use the same sheets and cappings. For aluminium slat fencing or pool fence panels, we replicate the exact slat gap and orientation. Quality workmanship shows in details like that.

    Applications – – – –

    Side Gates, Pool Gates, And Everything Between

    Pedestrian gates cover more ground than most people realise. Side access gates control who walks down the side of your house. Garden gates provide garden access between front and back yards.

    Pool access gates must comply with Australian Standard AS 1926.1 and WA regulations for gate compliance, with self-closing hinges, self-latching mechanisms, and latches positioned at least 1,500 millimetres from the ground on the pool side. Self-closing gates are mandatory for pool areas and recommended for any entry where security matters.

    Access gates on commercial properties manage foot traffic between car parks, loading areas, and public zones. We have installed pedestrian gates on aged care facilities, childcare centres, and residential properties across the Perth metro area. For properties where gate automation is preferred, we fit an automatic gate motor to pedestrian entries for hands-free access.

    Recent Pedestrian Gate Projects

    Willetton – Timber Side Gate Replacement

    The original timber pedestrian gate had swollen shut after two Perth winters. When we removed it, the bottom rail had warped 14 millimetres because the installer used pine with zinc plated screws. Pine swells, zinc corrodes, and the gate was firewood inside three years. We fitted a custom aluminium replacement on concealed hinges. Two years later it still swings with one finger.

    Bull Creek – 940mm Custom Opening

    A 940 millimetre gap between a brick pier and a retaining wall meant no standard gate would fit. The hardware store option the owner tried left a 60 millimetre gap at the hinge side that the dog exploited within a week. We built an aluminium gate to the exact width, fitted concealed hinges to the brick pier, and the gap problem was solved permanently. That is what custom gate manufacturing delivers over off the shelf products.

    Leederville – Concealed Magnetic Latch

    The customer wanted their laneway Colorbond gate locked but did not want visible hardware breaking the clean lines of the fence. We fitted a concealed magnetic latch with a key override that sits flush inside the gate frame. Nobody walking past would know the security gate is locked, but it holds firm against shoulder pressure. The gate supply and installation was completed in a single visit.

    Applecross – Dual Gate Project

    Two pedestrian gates on one property, one for pool compliance and one for side access. The pool gate required self-closing spring-loaded hinges, a magnetic self-latching mechanism, and a 1,500 millimetre latch height with a drop bolt. The side gate needed a keyed deadbolt. Both gates were manufactured from the same 65 millimetre aluminium slats at 12 millimetre spacing so the property looked consistent. Customer satisfaction on projects like this comes from getting the small details right.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A pedestrian gate is designed for foot traffic and is typically between 700 millimetres and 1,200 millimetres wide. Driveway gates are wider, heavier, and built to allow vehicle access. Pedestrian gates use lighter hardware and can be operated by hand, while driveway gates often require electric motors. We manufacture both types and can advise on the best option during a free on site consultation.

    Yes. We install spring loaded hinges that pull the gate closed after every use. Self closing mechanisms are mandatory on pool gates under Australian Standard AS 1926.1 and are recommended for side access gates where security matters. The spring tension is adjustable so the gate closes firmly without slamming, and we set the tension on site to suit the weight of your specific gate.

    We fit key locks, deadbolts, magnetic latches, combination keypads, and digital smart locks. Pool gates require self latching mechanisms with the latch at least 1,500 millimetres from ground level on the pool side. For side gates, a keyed deadbolt provides reliable security. For gates used by multiple people, a combination keypad avoids the need to cut extra keys. We discuss locking options during the quoting process and recommend hardware based on how the gate will be used day to day.

    A standard aluminium pedestrian gate starts from around $800 installed. Timber pedestrian gates range from $600 to $1,400 depending on the species and gate design. Pool compliant gates with self-closing hinges and magnetic latches typically cost between $1,000 and $1,800. We provide a free quote at a competitive price after measuring your opening so the price reflects your exact requirements, not an estimate from a brochure. Our friendly team will walk you through every gate option during the quoting process.

    That is what we do on every job. We match the material, colour, slat profile, and spacing so the gate looks like an original part of the fence line. For Colorbond fences, we use the same Colorbond sheet and colour. For aluminium slat fencing, we replicate the slat dimensions and gap spacing exactly. Bring us a photo or book a free site inspection and we will show you how the finished gate will look.

    Yes. We supply and install pedestrian gates for commercial premises including office buildings, aged care facilities, childcare centres, schools, and industrial sites across the Perth metro area. Commercial gates often require specific gate hardware for access control, disability compliance, or fire egress. Our impeccable service record means we understand these requirements and will ensure the gate meets all relevant building regulations and standards for your property.
