What size gate spring should I use?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What types of security solutions do commercial locksmiths offer?

• <div><p>Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.</p></div>

Q: Can electric gates be forced open?

• <div><p>Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-security-tips.htm">home security tips</a> include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.</p></div>

Q: What features can be added to a gate?

• <div><p>Features include automation, intercoms, keypads, and decorative elements. Custom options enhance security and style.</p></div>

Q: How do I make my gate safe?

• <div><p>To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you&rsquo;re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.</p></div>

These guys are very good. I highly recommend them. They did three tasks, stabilizing a cracked concrete floor in a shed, stabilizing my 30 year old concrete driveway, and stabilizing my 30 year old modular home foundation that was built out of specs. Well done!

I would say that the work was okay but I feel that they took advantage of the fact that the tree was over my driveway and I had no alternative.
