What is the difference between a barrier door and a security door?

• <div><p>Barrier doors or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-things-know-about-screen-doors.htm">screen doors</a> are ideal for bringing in summer breezes without letting in pesky flies and mosquitoes. But these types of doors aren’t as secure as a security door, which is installed with permanent screws into the home’s walls and often have deadbolts or other heavy-duty lock mechanisms for better security.</p></div>

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’s functionality?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do gates require maintenance?

• <div><p>Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a wooden gate post be?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can electric gates be opened manually?

• <div><p>Electric gates have a manual override switch that detaches the motor from the opening mechanism. For most gates, this requires a key as a deterrent to thieves or trespassers forcing open your gate. Be aware that many automatic or electric gates are very heavy, so it may be difficult to close the gate if you are fine with manually opening it. </p></div>

The loose gravel driveway we had was greatly improved with their Stonecrete product, Ted was true to his word. Kevin crowned the driveway immaculately and the stonecrete is holding together very well. They were great to work with. Highly recommend!

Provider arrived early and took my gate off and took it back to his shop. They replaced the entire bottom metal bar and painted it to match. Then returned to reinstall the gate. Took 4 hours in the shop for repair. Very nice guy. I would definitely recommend him!
