Customers say: Quality work

"We could not be happier with the outcome of our fence project. PIW fabricated and installed wrought iron fence and gates to match with an existing section of the fence that we had in our backyard from the original builder. We could not find any contractor who could match the existing fence until we met Isaiah. Not only he matched it with the style we had, he created a much better version of it. The quality of his work is phenomenal. He was very professional and a pleasure to work with, listened to our needs and brought valuable recommendations. I am perfectionist and he and his team totally exceeded my expectations. We will stay with him for our next projects."

"OVB was on time, very professional and knowledgeable. He installed gate latches on two gates and fixed gate installed by another Fence contractor. Gates had to be leveled and adjusted on the hinges and pulled up with steel cable to level out. Great job OVB."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on installing a security door.

However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.

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.

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.

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

You can install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate anytime. However, pick a dry day if you apply stain or paint to the paneling. If you’re hiring a local fencing contractor, they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.
