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: How much does it cost to have a gate installed?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-security-gate.htm#">cost to install a gate</a> is around <b>$2,300</b>, but you could pay between <b>$200</b> and <b>$7,000</b>, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factors to consider are the gate type of gate you want installed and the gate material. Automatic gates leading to your driveway will usually be the most expensive options, given the size and weight of the gate, as well as the added cost of the electronics for control. Chain-link and vinyl gates will usually be the most affordable, while aluminum and metal gates fetch the highest prices.</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: What are the disadvantages of an automatic gate?

• <div><p>The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won&rsquo;t open or close unless there&rsquo;s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don&rsquo;t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair. </p></div>

Q: How do I hire a reliable gate installation company?

• <div><p>Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:</p><ul><li><p>Have you worked with my gate material in the past?</p></li><li><p>Do you have customer references I can call?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully insured?</p></li><li><p>Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate&rsquo;s functionality?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"The work was of average quality with wood pickets bowing within weeks of being installed. Gate was not installed properly and sags. As these guys later said ......we are just farm boys who can make more money building fences......and their communication and comprehenion skills are non-existent They said they would correct the issues and months later they have not and said they have to meet with me first but every time I try and schedule something they are busy. I keep 15% of the remaining back until they corrected the work which should have been done months ago. After months of nothing, they demanded that I pay the bill or they will remove the fence. They will now not agree to correcting the issues."
