01

For an existing driveway gate

Share photos of the whole opening, track or hinges, and any existing motor. Describe how often the entrance is used. This helps the owners discuss whether repairs, changes to the gate or new automation should be considered.

02

Compare the same scope

Place the motor model, controls, safety devices, power work, mechanical work and labour beside each other. A lower total may simply cover fewer items. Ask each provider to state exclusions before comparing the final prices.

03

The Featherbleu fit

Featherbleu brings gate installation, automation and repairs into one owner-led service. It is a useful option when you want to discuss the entrance as a whole and have a direct contact for the work.

Before you decide

Three questions worth asking.

Use the same questions with every provider so the answers are easier to compare.

  1. What work does the gate need before automation?
  2. Which controls, safety devices and power options are included?
  3. What operating demonstration and support arrangements will I receive?
