"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

Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or automatic gate openers. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.

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.

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.

Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.

To stop trash from blowing under your gate, you can install anti-litter netting. This solution prevents most large debris from being blown inside of a controlled area and is often used in construction sites. Many types of netting are not designed for permanent use, so you may need to search for a style that matches your gate color.
