"The service professional (I think it was Tom), although friendly and professional, arrived two hours late.  I scheduled an appointment from 9-11AM, and he arrived at 10:50AM, hence the "bad" rating for punctuality.
When he arrived, he proceeded to perform the work that I purchased through Angie's List, which was a $100 garage door maintenance package that included greasing rollers, door balance check, and motor inspection.  Upon the inspection, Tom highly recommended that I perform the service that I outlined above.  He reasoned that the age of the springs and motor had exceeded the typical life spans.  He had the garage door opener motor, drive shaft, and springs in his truck and promptly installed them in 90 minutes.  He performed some tuning on both garage doors.  
I rated a "C" for pricing because the garage door opener could be purchased for $300 just for parts of Amazon.  I was quoted $640 for the door opener and installation.  It took 1 guy 45 minutes to replace the garage door opener and drive shaft. Was that worth $340?  Perhaps this was fair price compared to competing vendors, but I didn't have a chance to compare.  So my perception is that the replacement is more expensive than it should be.  However, given that the work was done well, and he tuned the rest of my garage door, I'll rate the overall pricing as Fair for the scope of work done.

"I looked at three companies and felt the most comfortable with Eric and found his price to be fair. I wanted an opener that was quiet. Eric researched the maglock and quiet operation gate opener. This means that for the gate to open, the control has to sequence release of the gate lock first and then signal the gate opener. Eric completed the task on time and on budget. We had to have him back about 18 months later to adjust the gate. The gate's weight had caused a drop that left no adjustment possible. The closing plate had to be cut off and rewelded. Eric responded and made the necessary adjustment for the cost of a maintenance call. Eric made very good recommendations as to placement and design of gate. We checked three references and they were all excellent."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?

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.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

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.

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.
