What size gate spring should I use?

• <div><p>Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.</p></div>

Q: Do driveway gates deter crime?

• <div><p>While there&rsquo;s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.</p></div>

Q: Do gate installations include warranties?

• <div><p>Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How much does a security door cost?

• <div><p>A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-know-about-steel-door.htm">steel door</a> 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&rsquo;ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.</p></div>
