Do gate hinges wear out?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should a wooden gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>Ideally, your gate would swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it's generally best for the gate to swing inward. There are exceptions, however. For example, if your property is on a slope, your gate may not be able to swing in.</p><p>Keep in mind that there may be local building codes that require your gate to swing inward.</p></div>

Q: Is it better for a security door to swing inside or outside?

• <div><p>Most exterior doors swing inward for better security. But a security door will swing outward. What makes it so secure are the one-way screws that go through the door, the door frame or house wall, and into the home. Make sure to align your door so it swings outward, with the door handle aligned with the existing door&rsquo;s handle.</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>

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>

Mike & his son were very professional and courteous. Mike listed and answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable having them work on my home. They have an eye for detail and it shows in their work. I will definitely use them again.
