Automatic Gates Sydney
An automatic gate secures your property, adds kerb appeal, and — when it matches your garage door — gives your home a cohesive, architect-designed finish that few others achieve. At KangarooGD, we design and install custom automatic gates across Sydney for homes from Eastern Suburbs terraces to prestige properties in Vaucluse and Woollahra. Unlike specialist gate-only companies, we also install garage doors — so we regularly design the gate and the door as a matched set, with consistent material, colour, and profile across your entire facade. From sliding telescopic to double swing, Knotwood® to aluminium battens, our team handles everything from design through to final commissioning. With 280+ 5-star Google reviews, Sydney homeowners trust us for gates that look the part and last.
Our Services
Sliding Telescopic Automatic Gates
Sliding telescopic gates are the most popular automatic gate choice for Sydney driveways — particularly where space limits a swing gate from opening outward. The gate panels slide and telescope behind each other along the fence line, with electric operation as standard. Every install includes motor, remote controls, and safety sensing as a complete package. We've installed sliding telescopic automatic gates in aluminium batten and Western Red Cedar profiles across Eastern Suburbs and inner Sydney, with designs ranging from clean contemporary to heritage-influenced.
Every gate is custom-built to your specific opening width and height.
Automatic Swing Gates - Single & Double Leaf
A swing gate is the traditional driveway gate choice, and for good reason — when space allows, a double leaf electric swing gate creates an entrance that few products match. We install single and double leaf swing gates in aluminium and timber profiles, with electric automation included as standard. For prestige properties in Woollahra, Bellevue Hill, and Vaucluse, a double leaf swing gate is a popular choice — the visual weight of the gate needs to match the quality of the home. We'll advise on hinge placement, motor selection, and post requirements at your free measure.
Pedestrian Swing Gates
A matching pedestrian gate alongside your driveway gate completes the picture — and adds day-to-day convenience for foot traffic without opening the full driveway gate each time. We install pedestrian gates in the same materials and profiles as our driveway gates, so everything reads as one cohesive design from the street. Pedestrian gates are a popular addition when we're doing a full gate and garage door package, giving homes a unified entry solution across the entire facade.
Electric Gate Installation & Automation Sydney
All of our automatic gate installs include electric automation as standard. We work with trusted motor brands — Merlin, FAAC, and Grifco — to match the right motor to your gate's size, weight, and usage frequency. Remote controls, keypads, and safety beam options are all available. We can also set up phone app control for homeowners who want smart access — open your gate remotely from your car, grant access to a delivery, or check access from elsewhere. We've installed smart gate automation for homes across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, and can retrofit an electric motor to most existing gates in good structural condition.

Custom Designs — Matching Your Gate to Your Garage Door
KangarooGD's automatic gates are available in a range of materials to suit your home's style, and we regularly design them to coordinate with your garage door for a matched facade:
-
Knotwood® timber-look aluminium — the authentic timber aesthetic without the maintenance; popular matched with Knotwood® garage doors
-
Powdercoated Aluminium battens — clean, contemporary, and low-maintenance; the most popular choice for modern homes
-
Powdercoated Aluminium boards — a solid, private panel option for a more enclosed look
-
Western Red Cedar — for clients who want genuine timber, with proper treatment and sealing
Getting your gate and garage door from one installer means consistent slat direction, matching colour, and coordinated profiles — something that's difficult to achieve when the two are sourced separately.

Frequently Asked Questions — Automatic Gates Sydney
How much does an automatic gate cost in Sydney?
Automatic gate pricing depends on opening width, gate type (sliding vs swing), materials, and automation. As a guide, supply and install for a single automatic driveway gate with motor starts from around $4,000–$6,000; double leaf gates and premium custom designs vary from there. We provide transparent, itemised quotes — contact us for a free measure and quote at your property.
What's the difference between a sliding and a swing automatic gate?
A sliding telescopic gate moves horizontally along the fence line — ideal where space is limited, as it doesn't need clearance in front to open. A swing gate opens like a door (single or double leaf) and requires driveway clearance for the gate to swing into. Sliding gates suit tighter urban blocks; swing gates offer a more traditional or prestige aesthetic where space allows.
Can you automate my existing gate?
Yes. Under NCC 2025 (in force from May 2026), new homes and major renovations in NSW must meet 7-star NatHERS energy performance standards. An uninsulated garage door in an attached garage is one of the most significant thermal liabilities in meeting these requirements. We can advise on which of our products best support your overall energy rating at the free measure.
Do you install matching automatic gates and garage doors together?
IYes — and this is one of our most popular services. We regularly design and install an automatic sliding or swing gate alongside a matching garage door in the same material, colour, and profile. Getting both from one installer saves on site visits and guarantees the results look cohesive from the street. Ask about package pricing when you book your free measure.
How long does automatic gate installation take?
Most residential gate installations are completed in one day. More complex projects — double leaf swing gates, gates requiring post installation, or gate-and-garage-door packages — may run across two days. We'll confirm the timeline at your measure and quote.
