The Motorised Gate Company

Frequently Asked Questions About The Motorised Gate Company

Does The Motorised Gate Company program remotes to operate both gates and garage doors together?

Yes — Luke from the team regularly programs multi-function remotes for clients. We've heard from a Bayswater homeowner who had three remotes programmed to control both their new bi-fold gate and their existing garage door simultaneously, which simplified their daily access. This integrated automation is especially useful for properties where both entry points are motorised, and Steve's team can sync FAAC systems with most garage door openers to give you one-remote convenience across your property.

What brands of gate motors does The Motorised Gate Company repair in the Hallam area?

Steve and his crew specialise in FAAC gate automation systems — both installation and repair. A local client in Hallam called them out for a faulty FAAC gate opener, and the team diagnosed and fixed the issue on-site without needing replacement parts. Importantly, they charged honestly for the labour only, which earned them strong local trust. With forty years' experience automating bi-fold gates, they're well-versed in troubleshooting FAAC controllers, photocells, battery backup units and remote programming faults across Melbourne's eastern and bayside suburbs.

Can The Motorised Gate Company install bi-fold gates on driveways with slopes and differing angles?

Absolutely — this is where Steve's design expertise really shines. A homeowner in Brighton East had a sloped driveway with varying gradients, and Steve engineered a custom trackless bi-fold gate that operates whisper-quiet and sits flush with no gap underneath. Another client in Berwick consulted over ten fence suppliers who all declined the job due to the slope; Steve provided a bi-fold solution that required no excavation or concreting, came in at half the cost of competing slide-gate quotes, and handled the gradient perfectly.

Has The Motorised Gate Company completed commercial gate projects in Melbourne?

Yes — they've worked on commercial builds coordinated by architects and builders. Peter from Title Building Projects (a commercial builder) engaged The Motorised Gate Company for a project and was so satisfied with Steve's pricing, workmanship and follow-up service that they've used the team again since. The company installs commercial-grade bi-fold systems complete with vehicle detectors, photocells, keypads, emergency exit buttons and battery backup — all tailored for high-traffic or security-sensitive sites across Melbourne, including Surrey Hills, Caulfield North and Airport West.

What makes The Motorised Gate Company's bi-fold doors suitable for properties with limited space?

Because they're trackless and fold back on themselves, Steve's bi-fold gates and garage doors save significant driveway space compared to swing or sliding alternatives. One Brighton client had wide carports but severe space constraints — six separate gate companies declined the job as impossible. Steve and his team custom-manufactured bi-fold doors that fit the width, required no tracks or ground rails, and installed them smoothly. The trackless design also eliminates the maintenance issues and trip hazards of in-ground rails, making them ideal for tight residential driveways and commercial loading bays alike.
