When is the best time to install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate?

• <div><p>You can install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate anytime. However, pick a dry day if you apply stain or paint to the paneling. If you’re <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/fence-companies/">hiring a local fencing contractor,</a> they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Can thieves open electric gates?

• <div><p>Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gates</a> are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.</p></div>

Q: Are there alternatives to a security door?

• <div><p>Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include gates and access controls?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.</p></div>

Very happy with their work. They were respectful and helpful in giving advice when I wasnâ t sure what I needed. I was impressed that they made some additional repairs not in the contract at no extra cost when they came across the need.
