Custom Gates in Newport

Custom Gates in Newport

Sliding Gates Melbourne

Modern Gates Melbourne designs, fabricates and installs custom gates for homes and businesses across Newport. From the period homes and renovated cottages near the lakes to newer builds closer to the station, every gate is made to suit the property and the frontage in front of it, rather than pulled from a catalogue.

With over 20 years of experience and Australian-made steel and aluminium fabrication, we handle the design, build and installation in-house. Newport sits close to the bay, so its gates take plenty of salt air, which is why we powder-coat every finish to hold up against it.

Automatic Gate Solutions in Newport

Automatic gates are popular across Newport, and for good reason: they make everyday access easier and add a real layer of security. We fit automation to new and existing gates, matching a sliding or swing motor to the weight of your gate and the space you have to work with.

Open and close from the car with a remote, let visitors in with a keypad or intercom, or run the gate from your phone. Safety sensors stop the gate if something crosses its path, and virtually every automatic gate includes a manual release so a power cut never locks you in or out. If you are weighing up automatic gate solutions in Newport, we can help you explore the options for gate automation or automatic gates.

Gate Options for Newport Properties

We build the full range of gates and fencing for Newport homes:

We work right across the inner-west, so if you are comparing options you can also see our work in Spotswood and Altona.

Gates Built for Newport Homes

Newport is a mix of period weatherboards and Victorian cottages, renovated family homes and newer townhouses, and the right gate looks different on each. On a heritage frontage near the lakes, a custom steel gate can be shaped to suit the era of the house rather than clash with it, while a modern rebuild often calls for a cleaner, more minimal design. Older blocks tend to have narrower frontages where a sliding gate makes the most of the space, and the closer you are to Hobsons Bay, the more the salt air matters, which is why we powder-coat every gate to stand up to it. Because we fabricate in-house, we can match the gate to your home and street rather than forcing a stock size to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Because every gate is custom fabricated, we can design one that suits an Edwardian or Victorian frontage, from the proportions to the finish, so it looks like it belongs rather than bolted on.

Most custom gates are designed, built and installed within around six weeks, depending on the design, size and finish you choose. We confirm the timeline when we quote.

Yes. We size the motor to your gate and the slope, and set it up so it opens smoothly whether your driveway is flat or on a grade.

Brett was great to deal with and communicated promptly. He gave us exactly the front door gate we wanted. The style is modern and quality of material is strong. If I need any other metal work done I'll definitely contact Brett. He even gave us two keys when we forgot to mention it to him.

We used Ri-Cal to design, manufacture and install an Aluminum electric sliding gate, and a matching pedestrian gate, we found Brett & his team very professional and easy to deal with. They listened and we ended up with exactly what we wanted. I'm sure that there are cheaper suppliers out there, but in this case you do get what you pay for. We would highly recommend Hi-Cal / Modern Gates.

Brett did an amazing job with our sliding front driveway gate. He could not have been more helpful, even organising other trades to help us out at the end of the year. Reliable, efficient and knowledgeable - would absolutely recommend.
