Simon was really helpful, especially for a novice. The quality of the hardware is very good, and collection was easy. Highly recommended. Oh...and the price was better than the original Auckland supplier I found.Posted on Google Mark RoxburghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simon was great to deal with and took time to explain in detail the gate options. His suggestion of an approved installer meant it was hands off from us and everything was completed within just over a week. No complaints, and I would highly recommend Simon and his team.Posted on Google Alice ButlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found Simon and Southern gates in general exceptional to deal with. A good logical website as well as excellent communication from Simon. The gate is very well constructed and came packaged safely. I’ve had multiple compliments from passers by since it’s been installed. Highly recommend!Posted on Google joewestcoastTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with the team.

No worries, the process is simple:
Check the top of your quote for a list of preferred installers, and make contact with one to arrange a visit your property – they’ll confirm measurements, ensure the quoted hardware is suitable for your property, and provide a quote for installation costs.
Know a trusted fencer, builder or landscaper? You’re welcome to use your own contractor, and most in these trades are more than capable of installing your gate.
Review the quote provided by your installer and ours – the combination of both will be the total cost for supply and installation of your gate system. Come back to either of us with any questions, we’re happy to help.
Once you’re happy with both our hardware quote, and the installer’s quote, let us know and we’ll get your project underway. We’ll work directly with your installer to ensure the entire project runs smoothly start to finish.
We supply gates and hardware only — we do not carry out or manage installations.
This approach keeps costs lower, gives you flexibility to choose your preferred installer, and results in a faster gate install.
We understand some customers prefer a one-stop-shop service, and while that can suit some projects, it often comes at a higher overall cost.
