Product & installation questions
Will this gate fit my opening?
Each gate is supplied in a set frame size. Please measure your brick-to-brick opening carefully and compare it with the size guide on this page. If you’re unsure, email our customer service team with photos and measurements.
Do I need posts for this gate?
You can fix the gate to existing brickwork or to aluminium posts. Posts are not included as standard – if you need them, please see our Aluminium Posts range or contact us for advice.
Can I install the gate myself?
Yes, a competent DIYer or installer can fit the gate using the supplied hardware. We recommend two people for lifting and fixing. Please follow the installation guide and video on installation guide page.
How much maintenance is required?
Our aluminium and composite gates are designed to be low maintenance. They do not rust or rot and don’t need repainting. We simply recommend washing them down occasionally with mild soapy water and checking the hinges and fixings once or twice a year.
Can you cut the gate to a custom width?
Yes, we offer a custom width cutting service on selected gates. Choose the Custom width cut option on the product page and enter your required finished size in millimetres. We will trim the gate to suit and finish the cut edge so it’s ready to install. Custom-cut gates are made to your measurements, so they can’t be returned or exchanged unless faulty. Please double-check your opening size before placing your order or contact us if you’re unsure.
Can I order a custom colour Aluminium Gate?
Yes, we can supply gates in custom RAL colours on request. If you would like a non-standard colour, please contact our customer service team with the RAL code from the RAL colour chart and the product details. We’ll confirm availability, lead time and pricing before you place your order.
What warranty do you offer?
All Readymade Gates products are covered by our standard 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
For full details on what’s included and the warranty period for each product range, click here to download our Warranty Guide (PDF).
Do you provide an installation service?
We do not currently offer an in-house installation service. Most customers use a local builder, landscaper or gate installer to fit their gate. We’re happy to provide general guidance.
What are the delivery times?
Standard delivery for ready-made gates is normally 7–14 days.
If your order includes custom modifications (such as custom width cutting or special colours), delivery is usually 7–21 days.
Lead times can vary by postcode and order size, so please see our Delivery Information page for the latest details.
Does the gate come with a lock and handle?
Yes. Our pedestrian gates are supplied with a lock and handle set as standard, along with the necessary fixings. Posts are not included unless specifically stated and can be purchased separately.
Can the pedestrian gates be hinged to the left or right?
Yes. The pedestrian gates can be fitted to hinge on either the left or the right, depending on your opening and how you would like the gate to swing. Your installer will position the hinges and latch to suit your layout.
How do I measure the width of gate I need?
Start by measuring the clear distance between the pillars or posts where the pedestrian gate will be installed. Measure the brick-to-brick (or post-to-post) opening in millimetres.
