I’ve been welding for 9 years now building custom homes in the Routt county area. I can work anywhere in the state. What separates my business from most is the attention to detail and superior craftsmanship.

"Excellent phone service to help me choose a gate and all the parts and equipment I needed and when they arrived, the quality was better than I expected. Just beautiful. Took us about 2 hours to install it and we couldn't be more happy with them. Also, very impressed with the reliability of the solar/battery powered gate opener we got from them. Overall a very good experience.

"I hired Travis to fix my drywall and install new trim in my dining room and living room. He did an amazing job!! Definitely knows what he's doing! And the best part is, he made sure to clean up after he was done! I would 100% recommend him for any 'handyman' job you need done! 5 stars Travis! Thank you so much!"

"????? I highly recommend Western Slope Facility Services. Michael and his team were professional, reliable, and completed the work exactly as promised. Communication was excellent throughout the project, pricing was fair, and the quality of workmanship exceeded expectations. They handled everything efficiently and left the property clean when the job was finished. If you're looking for a dependable contractor for repairs, maintenance, cleaning, remodeling, or property improvement projects, Western Slope Facility Services is a great choice."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.

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.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

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.

To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you’re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.
