Can I install my own driveway gate?

• <div><p>It might be possible to install your own manual driveway gate rather than an automatic one, but we don’t recommend it. Driveway gates are large, heavy, and bulky, and getting them to your house and maneuvering them for installation can be dangerous. It’s also challenging to install the gate and balance it perfectly so that it functions as expected, and wiring any automation mechanisms for your gate is also dangerous and requires help from an electrician. We recommend leaving the work to a professional driveway gate installer.</p></div>

How much does a Trex gate cost?

• <div><p>A Trex gate costs <b>$750 </b>plus another <b>$200</b> for the hardware pack necessary for installation. By contrast, Trex fencing ranges in price from <b>$22 to $38 per linear foot,</b> so you may pay a lot or a little depending on just how much space you need to enclose in your yard. </p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a gate?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a permit to install a gate or fence on your property. Before your local municipality can issue a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a>, you might also need a site plan or survey to identify property lines. Otherwise, you could infringe on your neighbor&rsquo;s property, leading to having to pay to take down and re-erect the fence. Permits for a gate and fence usually cost under <b>$100</b>. Luckily, your gate installation company will usually pull the permits for you and handle all of the red tape.</p></div>

Q: Will a gate wheel help with sagging?

• <div><p>Fence gates sag because they have no support on the latch side of the gate to help hold them aloft. A gate wheel fixes that problem by providing support for that latch side. Remember that the ground must be level in front of the gate so the wheel can roll freely when you open and close it. If the terrain is uneven or slopes, a gate wheel won&rsquo;t work.</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>

Aaron is great to work with and the quality of his work is outstanding. I used him for a small project. He customized a gate to fit exactly what I needed and now I am having him do almost a complete remodel to our basement.

They communicated very well. They placed the dumpster on wooden blocks to prevent it from damaging the driveway. They also swept up the area around the dumpster during pick-up.
