"Melanie and the team were professional and prompt. She was able to come out the same day (on the weekend) to provide a free quote and was able to start our job a couple of days later, despite the high volume of work post storm. On the scheduled day, they showed up ahead of schedule but unfortunately ran into a snag after finding a utility line in the ground, so the project was delayed a few days until we got a locate done. They came back out the next weekend and got the job done in a couple of hours. They also hauled away all of the old fencing and had to dismantle a few sections that weren't blown over. I would definitely recommend them and plan on using them in the future to replace some additional fencing."

"On August 18, we met with Casey Dollar and he agreed to do the job. He ordered the fence gate opener from ghost controls for $1168 which I paid for with my credit card. It was shipped to Hank’s house the next day he said he would be here that Saturday the 23rd to install it. Well he never showed didn’t hear a word from him but he came the next Monday on the 25th and did install it but it didn’t work right the right side of the gate would not open all the way at lack 2 1/2 to 3 feet of opening all the way he said he would be back the following Saturday to fix it. Well, he was a no-show again so Sunday night I texted him. I said we didn’t see you yesterday. How come when are you coming so he said I will try to fit it in sometime this next week. Sorry I had a lot going on yesterday. Well, he could’ve let us know something and that was last Sunday. This is Thursday afternoon and we have heard nothing from him so we don’t know what’s going on again he’s not very reliable and we are not happy with the installation. We want it fixed, right"

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.

While there’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.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

While many gate hinges are often made of extremely durable materials, such as galvanized steel, they can wear out after many years. How quickly they wear out also depends on how much use they’ve endured. It’s also possible for the hinge screws to fall out, which weakens the hinge. Once a hinge wears out, it’s time for a replacement so your gate doesn’t start sagging.
