Q: What is the difference between a screen door and a security door?

• <div><p>Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.</p></div>

Q: How do you stop a gate from slamming in the wind?

• <div><p>Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-automatic-gate-opener-installation.htm">automatic gate openers</a>. However, they won&rsquo;t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.</p></div>

Q: How much smaller should a wooden gate be than the opening?

• <div><p>Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.</p></div>

Q: How long does a driveway gate last?

• <div><p>Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-sliding-gate.htm">sliding gate mechanisms</a>, which can go out from frequent use. </p></div>

Q: Can thieves open electric gates?

• <div><p>Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gates</a> are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.</p></div>

Jacob did a great job as usual today. Spraying outside, and spot treating mounds in the front yard, and checking the rodent bait box. He closed all the gates behind him as usual, which is so important before the dogs are let out of the house.

Work was complete in a timely manor. Great value. After they left I noticed my gate was damaged. I called the owner and he responded right away and came right back. He apologized and said he would fix the gate. Maybe a little more "attention to detail" in the future.

The owner didn't seem to have much experience with concrete stamping. I wanted a walkway put in and when I asked him about a border on the walkway he only had one idea on how to do it. I have seen pictures with several different ways to put a border on the edge of a driveway or walkway.
