How do you stop a gate from slamming in the wind?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-automatic-gate-opener-installation.htm">automatic gate openers</a>. 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.</p></div>

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 are other home security systems I should consider installing?

• <div><p>In addition to a doorbell camera, you can upgrade your home&rsquo;s security with several different features. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/backyard-security.htm">Backyard security</a>, for instance, may include a mix of security cameras, lighting, and fencing. Additional security cameras around your property, as well as a total smart security system with an alarm connected to your smartphone, are also advisable. This could well be worth the cost for the peace of mind alone, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-security-system-affect-home-insurance.htm">home security systems <i>also</i> lower home insurance costs</a>. </p></div>

Q: Do installations include safety checks?

• <div><p>Yes, most services include safety checks and anchoring to ensure stability. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Does it matter which way a hinge is installed?

• <div><p>It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it&rsquo;s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.</p></div>

Perhaps a bit more than others, but they showed up on time, and returned my calls every time. Had trouble finding a fencing company because no one would return my calls or didn't show up. Called T&D and they came on time, gave an estimate, and got me on their schedule. Crews showed up on...

Peter and his crew are absolutely the best. They went over and beyond my expectations, in specific building the custom gate, and the Awesome work on the fence and clearing our yard from all of the overgrowth. I would give him a 10 if I could. I’ll definitely be using him again!😊

It went so well. I will continue to hire them for all of my carpentry needs. They also set toilets, do plumbing, roofs and all types of hany man jobs. They are very professional and have an extremely good work ethic.

We have used them before. They did a great job. They finished it in one day, which amazed me. They did a good job and we are satisfied. Everyone always asks about us the fence. So far, we haven't had any problems with their work.

I called Mike, left a message and received a call back within an hour. We scheduled an estimate for a time when they would be in the area (I believe 2 days later). It ended up raining, but he sent Mario to do the estimate. He arrived early and we walked the entire property in the rain. I...

"I am very highly disappointed with this company. I had high hopes and was really looking forward to the project on my new home, only to be let down and feel so discouraged by the amount of money and lack of quality i received. I met the owner at my property to measure and to discuss what I wanted where he gave me verbal and visual confirmation as to where my fence would be, that I clarified at least 2x verbally. He did not write it down until after the appointment, which was my fault, because I trusted his word. The day of installation, the fence was 3 feet shorter into my yard than it is supposed to be and does not even go to the edge of my lot. I have now lost 1/2 of my yard and I am just absolutely beyond disgusted and p***** off. I had a wonderful other company that came out and gave me a quote that I wish I would have gone with instead but I stupidly used T&T because I’m in a new subdivision and was recommended by the sales office…HUGE MISTAKE!! Now I am stuck with 1/2 my yard wasted!!!!"
