Gate installation recommendations

I am moving into a new property and there is no side gate. I would like to know of any recommendations please.

I would also like a functional lock with a key on the gate as this will be used to access the house on a daily basis. It is a bit wider so a panel would need to be added to cover the width. I am in the Gungahlin district.

I have used IC Fencing – colourbond fencing with gates. The cost seemed reasonable and Ivan was reliable.

Have just used Argus for a lockable metal slatted gate – they did a great job. They keyed it so that it has the same key as our security doors. I had used them before. recommended

I recently used Botham Fencing to put in my front gates.

I have colourbond fences/gates and they’re great. I don’t have locks on my gates, not something I thought to ask for !
