"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

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

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.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

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.

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.
