"Same day service which was wonderful to get a broken door fixed. Yes, they also sold me additional maintenance, but after 23 years it was probably warranted anyway and they were quick and professional. Did not get a 2nd quote so I donâ t have a feel for the cost effectiveness."

"M&P Fencing was wonderful to work with from start to finish. I wanted a fence style that was a little different from a traditional picket fence. They paid attention to the smallest details to ensure I got the fence I wanted. The end result was a well-built, beautiful fence that exceeded my expectations."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

The most common cause of gate sensors not working is damaged wiring. Only a professional should diagnose this because it requires working with the system's electronics. There are safety concerns, but more than that, you don't want to accidentally short out your system or cause any electrical damage. Insects, rodents, and fallen branches are common reasons your wiring could become damaged. 

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.
