Custom Gates in Spotswood

Custom Gates in Spotswood

Designer Automatic Sliding Gates
Decorative laser-cut aluminium sliding gate installed at a modern Melbourne home

Modern Gates Melbourne builds custom gates for homes and businesses across Spotswood, from the tight residential streets near Scienceworks to the mixed pockets closer to the river. Every gate is designed around your property and made to measure, so it suits the house, fits the opening and works with your driveway.

With over 20 years of experience and in-house Australian-made fabrication in steel and aluminium, we look after the whole job from first drawing to final install. Spotswood sits near the bay and the river, so its gates cop plenty of salt and weather, which is why we powder-coat every finish to last.

Automatic Gate Solutions in Spotswood

An automatic gate makes coming and going far easier, and it adds security at the busiest point of most properties. We automate both new gates and gates you already have, sizing a sliding or swing motor to your gate and driveway, whether it is flat or on a slope. Open from the car with a remote, let visitors in with a keypad or intercom, or run the gate from your phone. Built-in safety sensors stop the gate if anything is in the way, and a manual release is standard on virtually every automatic gate, so a power outage never leaves you stranded. To compare automatic gate solutions in Spotswood, start at gate automation.

Gates for Spotswood Homes and Businesses

Spotswood is a compact, mixed pocket, with cottages and renovated homes sitting alongside light-industrial sites near Scienceworks and the river, so we build gates for both households and businesses here. The older streets tend to have tight frontages and narrow access, where a sliding gate on a track opens without needing room to swing. Commercial and light-industrial sites usually call for a heavier, more secure build instead. Being close to the bay and the river, Spotswood gates take their share of salt and weather, so we powder-coat every finish to last. Fabricating in-house means we can tailor the gate to the block, whether it is a home or a yard.

Frequently Asked Questions

A sliding gate is usually the best fit for a tight frontage, because it runs along a track beside the opening instead of needing clear space to swing.

Yes. Spotswood has a mix of residential and light-industrial properties, and we build both residential gates and heavier commercial and security gates to suit.

In most cases, yes. We can fit a sliding or swing motor, remote, keypad or intercom to a gate you already have, as long as it is structurally sound.

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.
