By JD Gates Pretoria | Cost Guide | Published: 1 December 2024
Security gate installation costs in South Africa cover a wide range depending on the type of gate, material, size, and whether automation is included. This guide breaks down the costs for custom security gates in Pretoria.
Security Gate Price Guide
- Pedestrian security gate (single, 1 m × 2 m): R4,000–R7,000 supply and install
- Sliding driveway gate (4 m × 1.8 m, mild steel): R8,000–R15,000 supply and install (gate only, no motor)
- Sliding driveway gate (6 m × 1.8 m, heavy steel): R14,000–R25,000 supply and install
- Swing gate (double leaf, 4 m total, mild steel): R12,000–R20,000 supply and install
- Gate automation (add Centurion D5 Evo): R8,500–R11,000 additional
Factors Affecting Cost
- Material — aluminium costs more than mild steel but is lighter (reduces motor load)
- Design complexity — decorative infill, palisade elements, and custom profiles increase fabrication time
- Finish — powder coating in custom RAL colours adds R500–R2,000 over standard black
- Size — price scales roughly linearly with gate area
