We do welding work and repairs on driveway gates: bent gates, sliding gate tracks and wheels, and swing gate conversions. Family-run since 2002 by Franz and Wendy, and we never use subcontractors.
Your gate must run smoothly by hand before a motor can work well. Worn wheels or a damaged track strain the motor and can damage its gearbox.
Some of the driveway gates we've repaired, converted and secured.
We repair bent and damaged driveway gates, so they run smoothly again.
Worn wheels, sand in the bearings or a damaged track strain your gate motor. We replace sliding gate tracks and wheels.
Sliding gates are harder to force open and aren't pushed around by the wind. We convert swing gates to sliding gates.
We convert single swing gates into double swing gates, and can automate both sides.
Anti-lift brackets stop thieves lifting the gate off its track, and a flat bar welded onto the rack stops it being bent. Read more about securing your driveway gate.
A custom gate motor installation, so a converted gate can be automated too. See our gate motor prices.

I called FGM and Frans has been amazing. They came out and sorted my gate wheels within 2 hrs and I have a gate that's operational once again. Would recommend his service.

I found Frans on the internet. I am sceptical of contractors because of past experience of being let down so often. I spoke to him and there was a genuine tone to his voice so I contracted him to fix our broken gate at our sectional title complex. He booked us in as soon as his schedule allowed and fixed the gate promptly. Another problem with the lock was present so he came back to fit a new lock. Very professional in his approach to us, on time and warned me when he was not able to make it on a specific day as he had already booked other customers and could not let them down, reasonable in invoicing and terms. We will DEFINITELY use Frans from FGM Automation for other projects again.

Hi Wendy/Franz,
Over the weekend I needed to go past Cedar road and had a chance to see the work you did on our gate. Nice job. The extra work you did adjusting the rack and touching up the paintwork didn't go unnoticed. Thank you.
Thanks,
Marcelle
