Automatic sliding, swing and driveway gates built and automated for Penrith and Western Sydney - secure entry, video intercoms and reliable motors, backed by over 12 years of local experience and a free on-site quote.
A driveway gate is not the only way in. Penrith Automatic Gates builds and installs pedestrian, garden and side gates that give you a proper walk-through entry without opening the main gate every time. We make them in steel or powder-coated aluminium, and we can match a new pedestrian gate to your driveway gate so the whole frontage looks like one design. Self-closing hinges and self-latching hardware are fitted where you want a gate that shuts and latches behind you, which is a common request around pool areas and for families with young children. We build the gate to suit your opening and requirements, working across Penrith and Western Sydney. For a free, itemised on-site quote, call Steve and the team on 0407 204 572.

Penrith Automatic Gates
A pedestrian gate is a single, person-sized entry set into a fence or beside a driveway gate. We build side-access gates, front-path gates and garden gates in either steel or powder-coated aluminium, so the finish suits your home. You can have a solid infill for privacy or a slatted style that lets light through and keeps the frontage open. We can match the design, colour and slat spacing to an existing or new driveway gate so the entrance reads as one look. Timber-look finishes are available for a warmer feel without raw-timber upkeep. Hardware is chosen to suit the gate, from simple latches to self-closing, self-latching sets.
Penrith Automatic Gates
We measure the opening on site, check the posts or fence it will hang from, and confirm the swing direction so the gate suits how you use the space. Where the existing posts are not strong enough, we can supply and set new posts to carry the gate. Hinges, latches and any self-closing hardware are then fitted and adjusted so the gate hangs square and shuts cleanly. Most pedestrian gates are manual, but where you want one automated we size a suitable operator and fit safety devices in line with good practice and AS/NZS 60335.2.103. Any mains 240V wiring for automation is carried out by a licensed electrician. We test the gate before we leave, so you are happy with how it opens, closes and latches.

A pedestrian gate is a small job that is easy to get wrong if the posts, swing and latch are not set properly. Steve Smith and the team bring more than 12 years of building and installing gates across Penrith and Western Sydney, so the gate hangs right and keeps working. We are fully insured with 20 million dollars public liability, and every job begins with a free, itemised on-site quote. Because we also build driveway gates, we can match your new pedestrian gate to the main entry for one consistent look. Our own experienced team handles the work from measure to finish, and we are happy to service the gate down the track.
Penrith Automatic Gates
A pedestrian gate is one of the more affordable gates we build, but the figure still depends on the material, the finish and the hardware, so treat any number as a guide until you have a quote. A simple aluminium side gate sits at the lower end, while a matched steel gate with self-closing hardware or a custom design costs more. New posts, automation or decorative work add to it. As a rough guide, many pedestrian gates fall between $800 and $3,500 supplied and fitted, though your opening and finish change that. The accurate figure comes from a free on-site quote, fixed and itemised for the scope, with variations agreed in writing. Call 0407 204 572 to book.
Penrith Automatic Gates
Many families want a pedestrian gate near a pool or play area that closes and latches behind them. We can fit self-closing hinges and self-latching hardware so the gate is not left open, and set the latch at the height you ask for. It is important to be clear that pool-barrier compliance is a matter for the property owner and a qualified pool-safety certifier, who assess the whole barrier against the current rules. Our role is to build and fit a gate to suit your requirements, not to certify a pool barrier. If compliance is your goal, we recommend confirming the requirements with a certifier and we will build the gate accordingly. That way the gate does its job and the certification is handled by the right person.

See and manage who comes in. We fit and integrate video intercoms, keypads, remotes, app control and exit sensors with your gate operator, with mains wiring by a licensed electrician.

We come to your property, measure the opening and look at the driveway, the slope, the power supply and how you want to use the gate. From there we recommend the right gate type, whether that is a tracked or cantilever slider, a swing gate or a telescopic gate for a short run, plus the material and any access control. You get a free, itemised quote that spells out the gate, the motor, the safety devices and the electrical work. There is no pressure and no vague ballpark - just a clear plan for your site.

Once you are happy, we fabricate or supply the gate and install it to suit your opening. We fit a gate motor sized to the gate's weight and expected daily use, wire in the low-voltage controls, and set up your chosen access control such as a video intercom, keypad or remotes. Any 240V mains connection is completed by a licensed electrician, keeping the supply safe and compliant. Safety devices like photocells and safety edges are fitted in line with good practice and the relevant standard so the gate stops or reverses if something is in its path.

Before we finish, we run the gate through its full cycle, check the safety devices, and fine-tune the force settings and access control so everything works the way it should. We walk you through operating the gate, using the intercom or remotes and what to do if the power drops. Because motors, electronics and batteries wear over time, we let you know what routine servicing keeps the gate reliable through the Western Sydney summers. We are also here afterwards for servicing, repairs and emergency call-outs if the gate ever sticks open or closed.
Yes, and it is one of the most common things we do. Because we build both, we can match the material, colour, slat style and spacing so the pedestrian gate and driveway gate look like one design. We will confirm the details at the on-site measure. Powder-coating gives a wide colour range to match either aluminium or steel.
We can fit self-closing hinges and self-latching hardware so the gate shuts and latches behind you, which is what many pool-area and young-family customers ask for. Please note that pool-barrier compliance is assessed by a qualified pool-safety certifier and is the property owner's responsibility, not something we certify. Tell us the requirements you need to meet and we will build the gate to suit. Confirming the rules with a certifier first is the safest approach.
No, most pedestrian gates are manual and simply open by hand with a good latch. Where you want one automated, for convenience or access control, we can size a suitable operator and integrate a keypad, intercom or remote. Any mains wiring for that is completed by a licensed electrician. We will talk through whether automation is worth it for your gate at the quote.
Yes. On rural and acreage blocks a secure, lockable side gate is a practical way to control foot access without using the main driveway gate. We build it in steel or aluminium to suit the setting and fit hardware that locks the way you need. If you want it to tie in with the main entrance, we can match the driveway gate. We will assess the posts and opening at the on-site measure.
Often, yes, if the existing posts are sound and strong enough to carry the new gate. We check the posts as part of the measure and let you know honestly if they need replacing. Reusing good posts keeps the cost down. If new posts are needed, we can supply and set them as part of the job.
A well-built gate lasts a long time, but hinges, latches and self-closing hardware are moving parts that wear and occasionally need adjusting, so we do not claim any gate is maintenance-free. A quick service or re-adjustment keeps it shutting and latching cleanly. Powder-coated aluminium resists rust well in Western Sydney weather, while steel benefits from a protective coating over time. We are happy to come back and service the gate when needed.
