"Guillermo did an incredible job on our gate. There was existing fence in the spot we wanted the gate and we asked him to use the existing material for the gate build. The gate looks great and works perfectly. He was on time, responsive and we will absolutely hire him again for our next fencing project! The pricing was also unbeatable compared to 4 other quotes. You will not regret using GD Fence."

"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.

I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."

I purchased a big deal for this service and it worked out good. I just did not really jell with the designer so I did not use them. I did not like his ideas and did not like how they threw out the dollar amount for the project without knowing what I wanted to do. They are good, but it just did not work for me.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with AIO Garage Door and Gates for the installation of a new driveway gate with a gate operator, and I couldn't be happier with the result. From start to finish, the team at AIO Garage Door and Gates provided exceptional service. They helped me choose the perfect design for my stainless steel gate, ensuring it was both stylish and functional. Additionally, they worked closely with me to stay within my budget, which I greatly appreciated. The installation process was smooth and efficient, and the end result exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend AIO Garage Door and Gates to anyone in need of quality gate installation services. Five stars all around!"

"I purchased a Big Deal for $249 for six hours of labor with the intention of having a storage shelf built above the cars in my garage.  Everything was fine but with a small hiccup.  When I first started talking to the company in late August, I emailed pictures and dimensions to Leslie, the project engineer.  She said she had a similar garage, knew what I wanted, and would forward the information to the foreman.  Two weeks later, Kelsey called to confirm the appointment date, she said she did not have the specs for the project, Leslie had been re-assigned, and the foreman would call me to give me a shopping list.  I reitereated that there is no way I can haul sheets of plywood in my convertible and got a little freaked out that no one seemed to know what this project was about.
On the day of the project, Jose picked up the supplies needed and installed the shelf appropriately.  So in the end everything was okay - but I was really nervous for a few days having paid in advance.  Maybe they got so busy with the responses to their Big Deal offer, that things got lost along the way.  Most important, the shelf was built and it is still standing a year later even loaded with furniture, Christmas decorations and boxes.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.

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.

Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.

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.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.
