CUSTOM MADE GATES AND PANELS

Custom made gates is where we all started. Working primarily with steel and wrought iron in the

days before we had extrusions and laser cutting everything was custom made.

Our branches in the capital cities all have production facilities for custom made gates in steel and

aluminium including laser cut designs. From the smallest of pedestrian gates to the largest

industrial and cantilever gates our workshops can produce to your specifications. We have a

range of popular designs to choose from or share your ideas with us for an obligation free quote.

Where Readymade and Easy Gate have their restrictions Custom Gate has none. If you can draw

it or explain it we can probably make it.

LASER GATES AND PANELS

Laser panels can be incorporated into both Easy Gate and Custom Gate with ease.

Laser cutting has become more affordable of recent times which has led to an explosion of ideas

and creativity in the gate and fencing panel world.

The days of all you can have is a picket fence or tube with spears on is gone and now you can

add your own personal touch to your property entrance. Whether it is residential, corporate or

community group you can add your own personal welcome.

Automatic Solutions perform all of their laser cutting in house providing quality control, expertise

and affordable solutions.

Laser cut sheets can be from a range of materials with the most common being aluminium, mild

and galvanised steel, stainless steel and for that very Australian look the rusty Corten steel.

Each cutting can be flat sheet style for fixing to existing structure or gate framework or we can

produce a double fold to the edges providing and angle edge all round for direct fixing between

piers, posts etc.

Easy Gates & Panels Explained Easy Gates and panels were originally introduced primarily as a do it yourself product (DIY) to

service the hundreds of thousands of regional customers with no access to our fabrication

facilities. The emphasis was a high quality product that could rival custom made with easy

assembly, easy transport and a reasonable price.

Well like all good intentions this one has found its way from DIY into the professional market and

beyond. The fact that a trade installer can order a gate to size, easy transport to site and easy

assemble in a couple of hours all for a much lower cost than custom made has increased the

product range to include many standard designs and now Custom Easy Gate.

WHAT MAKES UP AN EASY GATE?

Easy Gate is designed as an economical way to buy gates and fence panels for your property.

Each gate or panel is individually cut to your sizes and provided with the necessary hardware and

fasteners to assemble. For example a standard fence panel will typically be supplied with side

channels, slats and fastener covers all cut to size as well as fixings for the channels and the slats.

If you can use a drill and a pop rivet gun you are on your way!

If you were to order a sliding driveway gate kit you would receive all of your main framework,

corner braces, infill sections and fastener covers cut to size and ready to assemble along with

your fasteners. In addition you would receive all of your hardware and automation. Things like

track, wheels, guide rollers, motor, remote controls etc.

WHAT ARE EASY GATE KITS MADE FROM?

Aluminium. All gates, fence panels and infill are made from durable aluminium in powder coat

finish. Section weights vary dependent on their role. For example the main gate frame is our

heaviest section and the insert slats are much lighter.

IS THERE A CHOICE OF COLORS AND DESIGNS?

Start to turn the pages and you will see just how many designs are available but that is not all as

we are quite happy to build your gate to your design. We call it “Custom Easy Gate”.

Colors? One of the main advantages of Easy Gate is the ease of using different colors. For

example you may want a different main frame color to the infill color—with Easy Gate this is no

problem

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT FRAME TYPES?

Essentially we have the heavy and robust driveway gate frame designed for big gates up to

6450mm wide, a smaller and lighter frame which we use for large infill panels and pedestrian

gates and finally the frameless standard infill panels that simply use a system of side channels

and covers.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION NEXT PAGE

Easy Gate Assembly & Installation DO I HAVE TO ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL

MYSELF?

That is entirely up to you. Although Easy Gate is a

DIY product we all know that not everyone has the

skills or inclination to take the job on. Plenty of

choices thankfully depending on where you live. In

and around our branches and agents they will happily

quote assembly and install and if you live outside

these service areas enlist the services of a local

handyman or tradesman.

ANY GUIDES ON MEASURING AND INSTALLATION?

Sure—we have a number of installation, assembly and measuring guides on our website.

Color choices explained. The drawings on the following pages are deliberately mono style grey representations because

the options are too many for us to produce all. Many of the colors available are shown below.

Custom Easy Gate explained.

WHAT IS CUSTOM EASY GATE?

Every installation is different and the chances that a standard Easy Gate design will not do the

job is high so we turn to custom Easy Gate.

It is not hard to do — simply let us know during your enquiry that for whatever reason the

standard designs will not suit and you want a price for custom Easy Gate. You still get all of the

advantages of Easy Gate but with your own custom improvements.

You might simply have your own design ideas.

Custom Gates & Panels

WHAT EXACTLY IS A CUSTOM GATE OR PANEL?

Basically any gate or panel that is designed and built completely from scratch at any one of our

workshops around Australia.

GENERAL -

Automatic gates need to be built robust and tough enough that they can withstand the rigors the

automatic systems will subject them to. This often surprises some people but it is true that to

open and close your gates in a variety of environments conditions the automation produces

some fairly impressive torque for such small motors and exert a lot of pressure on the gate. So

our gates need to be robust.

ALUMINIUM VERSUS STEEL? -

Over the years we have seen aluminium and steel take prominence at different times in the gate

market but usually as a result of price. Aluminium tends to get shunned when the raw price of

aluminium rises.

There is a natural assumption that aluminium is maintenance free which is not strictly true as

aluminium without regular care will deteriorate and corrode just like anything else but it is fair to

say that as a general rule aluminium requires less maintenance than steel. However steel has it's

advantages given its weight and strength and you will not find too many industrial gates built

from aluminium. Personal choice should take place but always check with your consultant about

the use and environment before making a decision.

CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

WHY DO WE LIKE WEIGHT? -

One of the reasons the motors are deigned to produce so much power is that they are designed

and built in Europe (Italy). The Europeans have always built gates that are solid wrought iron

style - not necessarily big in stature but heavy. It is not uncommon to see a pair of gates that

may only be 1.5 metres wide each but up to 3 metres tall and weighing 500kg each. The motors

are designed to open these big heavy gates. When we build lighter tubular style of gate that is

popular in Australia the natural assumption is that this can only be good but in fact the automa-

tion has a tendency to "throw around" light weight gates. So as a consequence where possible

we don't mind some weight because it makes for a smooth gate and adds to long term reliability.

WHAT ABOUT SIZE DOES IT REALLY MATTER? -

We think so. A gate tends to be a fairly large item no matter where it is installed and in general

will always look better with some heavy sections lending some dimension to the size. This of

course is purely personal choice as there are plenty of examples of small slight sections used in

some very impressive gates. If you are considering things from a security viewpoint however

there will be no substitute for size and of course design. In the end it will come down to the ob-

jective of the gate and the aesthetics desired but we find that gates with larger sections tend to

look more the part

WHAT IS THE STORY ON THE GROUPS -

Group one through to group seven is simply our way of categorising our gates from a pricing

perspective. In general terms group one, four and sometimes five can be the most economical

with things getting a little more expensive as you work your way through group two and three.

Group seven being true wrought iron is around the top level in price and group six is industrial

style gates. But the reality is that these are purely a guide and you may find a group three gate

that you want made as full wrought iron or maybe you like the style but want to keep the cost

down. There are often ways to accommodate so simply use them as guide.

CUSTOM LASER CUTTING NEXT PAGE

What is laser cutting?

GENERAL -

"Laser cutting" is a generic term we use today to describe a gate or panel that has been cut in a

decorative way. Whilst laser cutting is a specific process there are a number of variations of laser

itself as well as plasma and water jet cutting.

WHY DO WE CHOOSE WATERJET? -

Water jet cutting uses a stream of very high-pressure water (40,000 psi and higher) and abrasive

particles called garnet to machine a large array of materials, including heat-sensitive, delicate or

very hard substances. The resulting cut is both clean and accurate to a tolerance of 0.025mm.

Unlike Laser or Plasma, the cold stream does not create hardened edges. Many materials cut well

using the water jet, among these are all metals and alloys, plastic, rubber, stone, ceramics and

glass.

ALUMINIUM VERSUS STEEL? -

Most of what we cut with waterjet is aluminium or steel and the choice is really personal

preference with consideration given to weight, environmental factors and of course desired look.

Other finishes available are stainless steel and "Corten" which is a weathered or "rust look" form

of steel.

SIZE LIMITATIONS? -

There are two limitations to size with any form of laser cutting. The first is available sheet size

and the second is the machine bed size. Rarely is this an issue however as multiple panels tend

to be used for overall stability in any case.

WHAT STYLE CAN I HAVE? -

If you can draw it we can cut it. There are some practicalities that come into play however and

you are best to discuss your ideas with one of our consultants for guidance. One of the most

difficult concepts to get your head around whilst designing is whether you are using the cut out

section or losing the cut out section. If you don't want to go to the trouble or expense of your

own design you can choose from the many standard designs available.

Custom Group 1
