"Jim and his crew were easy to work with and they did a great job. There was a bit of an issue with the gate, but they were quick to make things right for me. I'm very happy with my new fence, and I definitely recommend JMS Fencing."

"We hired them to encircle our 5 acre property with a metal fence, to include 2 gates for our entries. We also had them construct shade structures for our horses, hitching post and a package box. They did a fantastic job. They were reliable, professional and detail oriented. They clearly take pride in their work, and they should. We have the nicest fence in our neighborhood! We highly recommend Cat Mtn for any fencing and gate projects. You can trust them to show up and do high quality work."

"Aidan and his team were great to work with! He listened to my ideas and was patient with me while I decided on the design I wanted, never pushing me to hurry. He brought my ideas to life and was able to make suggestions on how to really make my gate a head turner. I will be using Aidan and his team for all my future needs."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or steel door to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you’ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.
