"On one side of my home, I had a small section (around 8 ft) of old rusty chain link fence removed and replaced including having a small gate installed. On the other side of my home I had a small section (around 8 ft) of old chain link rusty fence and a double gate removed and replaced as well. They drilled a hole in the concrete for the metal bar that helps to keep things in place for the double gate, as there wasn't one previously. They did an excellent job and it looks great. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have fencing done.

"The work that was done at our house was more than exceptional. Charles knew the metal needed and the type of gate that we were looking to get installed. He was very easy to work with and made us feel that us as his customers were very much a priority. I will only recommend Charles Ornamental to others seeking welding work. Thank you Charles and your team in keeping your appointments and completing the work we needed for security and peace of mind!!"

"This service was for replacing an extension garage door spring for a single car garage door. They installed the spring and recommended to replace the rollers as well. Overall price was great and they did a wonderful job. The garage door runs quietly than before. I highly recommend these guys for the job. Thank you!"

"We were quite happy with their timing. They did everything they said they were going to do. Everything worked well. We noticed that the concrete driveway that they did was starting to have a few problems later on with something called spalling where little bits of the surface was chipping away. They called their cement supplier. They basically told us that we have to deal with the cement supplier if we wanted to do anything about it. That was my only negative thing. Otherwise, they have been totally positive. They were very responsive. When they did our chimney, they even went out of their way to mount a new television antenna up there for me. I thought that was nice of them. They mounted the mast and all that stuff, and didn’t charge us extra for it. They did it as a favor. We were just fine with all the pricing for everything they have done compared to anybody else we looked at. I have a little bit of a question about the driveway because of the bit of a problem with the spalling on it. I found out about spalling later from an expert who is a friend of ours, who did it for the city of Baltimore. He said that there were treatments they might have been able to use that they as a city use. I am not sure if the contractor was even aware of the technical issue of that problem."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.
