"My experience with Slagle Fence was excellent. I replaced my rotting wooden fence with an Ameristar Montage Ornamental Steel fence. It looks great and I have received multiple complements in just the first week since it was installed. The fence manufacturer provides a lifetime limited warranty on the fence and Slagle Fence provides a 2-year labor warranty on posts, panels and gates, longer than the 1-year labor warranty seen often. Adam Slagle, the owner, came to the house at the scheduled time to see and measure the property, so I had the chance to meet him and talk about options since I was considering both aluminum and steel and they both come in a variety of styles. He was easy to speak with and knows his stuff. I asked for addresses to see installed aluminum and steel fences, since small illustrative samples are hard for me to envision as entire fences. Kayla at the office was very quick to provide seven addresses. I went to see all of them, asking owners' permission of course before walking around. One of them was gracious enough to walk it with me to explain his project. The owners also told me that they had good experiences with Slage Fence. Throughout the process, I spoke with Kayla and LT at the office and both were very nice. Manny was the crew chief for our project and was also on time and excellent. Manny's crew is very efficient and clearly has done many installations. In fact, Manny told me that he had worked for another well-known fence company for about 10 years before joining Slagle Fence a number of years ago. I spoke with only Manny and Oscar on the crew and they both speak very understandable English, communication was not an issue. I am very particular about what I sign and I read everything before I sign anything. Adam and I went back and forth a number of times until the estimate contained all the specific details that I wanted. I apologized to Adam for being a pain in the neck and he said that he understood that a fence is a large commitment, although he joked that yes I was being a little more of a pain than others. I completely understood because he's running a small business and small business owners work hard. Four of my close neighbors have recently requested quotes from Slagle Fence, telling me that they know that I do my research before making a decision. I hope that the extra time Adam spent with me ultimately pays off for him as a return on his investment. I requested quotes from five fence companies. One did not show up at the appointed time and did not reschedule. One never provided the requested addresses of its prior work. One quoted prices but the terms and conditions ("fine print") stated that prices included a 3% discount for payment by check or online ACH transfer. I paid Slagle Fence with a credit card, my preferred payment method. Another said they provide a 3-year labor warranty but their proposal did not mention any labor warranty and furthermore that their proposal constituted the entire agreement, which I interpreted as therefore no warranty. Read everything before you sign and make sure to include Slagle Fence as one of the companies providing a quote. I highly recommend them."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

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.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.

Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on installing a security door.

However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.
