How do you stop a gate from slamming in the wind?

• <div><p>Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-automatic-gate-opener-installation.htm">automatic gate openers</a>. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.</p></div>

What size gate spring should I use?

• <div><p>Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a gate myself?

• <div><p>You can install manual gates yourself. However, professional installation is recommended for automated or large gates to ensure proper setup.</p></div>

Q: Can you convert manual gates to electric?

• <div><p>Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-sliding-gate.htm">sliding gate parts</a> before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.</p></div>

Q: What types of security solutions do commercial locksmiths offer?

• <div><p>Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.</p></div>

Great concrete company to work with!!! I would highly recommend them and definitely use them again. Fast response. They extended our driveway, pour a back deck and a round fire pit. Price was comparable too.

Not long after I "invited" Appliance Works to send info, Anthony called and we scheduled an appointment for the next morning. He was there on time and was able to get the needed parts and repair the refrigerator. Will definitely keep him in mind for other projects!
