"GREAT!! We needed the back corner of our property fenced with 3 custom gates built as part of the project. We decided to change our request prior to installation, and Matt was very accommodating. We live on a lake and didn't want to block the view...while keeping our grandkids and dog safe. Matt listened to all our needs, sent his crew out and the job done was fantastic!! The crew was professional, listened to our questions, cleaned up well... Our dog is so happy, we are super happy and we would highly recommend Defence for all your fencing needs! Thanks Matt and crew!"

"The project went really well, and I couldn't be happier. Just as I requested, the new railing looks exactly like the old railing. There were some issues with installing it into the existing concrete steps, and Rick Gleason found a solution that really worked well. The new railing is sturdy and looks great."

"The project went very well. The crew arrived on the day promised and completed the job to my satisfaction. When finished, they removed all the debris from the work site. The workers were very professional and thorough, and I plan to use this company for other home improvement projects. I am so satisfied with the company that I will add it to my neighborhood's website that contains a list of recommended repairmen."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.

Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’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.

When making this decision, three essential factors come into play. For budget-conscious individuals, swing gates are the more economical choice. Despite the possibility of both gate types having similar dimensions, many types of sliding gates demand a more intricate opening mechanism and additional components, requiring electrical work for motors and signaling remotes, resulting in higher installation costs.

Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions. That's one of the fantastic things about security doors—they can be tailored to match your home. Keep in mind that a custom-sized security door will likely cost more than a standard size.
