"I hired DNA Gates and Fences through HomeAdvisor for a driveway security gate installation at my business, and the entire experience was excellent. The team was professional, courteous, and highly skilled. They took the time to understand my security needs and recommended the best materials and design for long-lasting durability. The installation was completed quickly and with great attention to detail. The new gate not only enhances security but also gives a polished, professional appearance to the property. I?m very impressed with their craftsmanship and customer service. I would definitely recommend DNA Gates and Fences to any business owner looking for reliable and top-quality gate installation services!"

"ADU Garage Conversion is not an easy task so I contacted several recommended contractors to see their offers. The best offer came from LA Expert Builders and at our first meeting Nir was extremely professional, knowledgeable and honest. The project started on scheduled date, went very smooth thanks to Nir and his great crew. They did everything as I requested and final product is excellent. I am fully satisfied with Nir and LA Expert Builders and would definitely work with them again!"

"The project went great. American Green Builders were prompt and gave a great estimate. They not only gave me a fair price for the work done, but they did not try to upsell me on additional work that was not necessary for the project we needed done. Very professional and great to work with, I would definitely use them again."

"I was very pleased with Steve. I called at 1pm to for an estimate he gave me a reasonable price for the work. He gave me a same day appointment for 2:30p.m which he arrived early for. He was very charismatic, fast and professional. He completed the work in a matter of minutes. The garage door was working perfectly fine. He explained what he changed, why and answered all my questions. He demonstrated and taught me how to check that the garage door was balanced. I would definitely recommend him to family. He finished working and explaining everything by 3p.m.and I was able to continue my day."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

The best under-gate dog barrier is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.

To stop trash from blowing under your gate, you can install anti-litter netting. This solution prevents most large debris from being blown inside of a controlled area and is often used in construction sites. Many types of netting are not designed for permanent use, so you may need to search for a style that matches your gate color.
