How long does it take to build a driveway gate?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Do gate hinges wear out?

• <div><p>While many gate hinges are often made of extremely durable materials, such as galvanized steel, they can wear out after many years. How quickly they wear out also depends on how much use they’ve endured. It’s also possible for the hinge screws to fall out, which weakens the hinge. Once a hinge wears out, it’s time for a replacement so your gate doesn’t start sagging.</p></div>

Q: How much does a security door cost?

• <div><p>A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-know-about-steel-door.htm">steel door</a> to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you&rsquo;ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.</p></div>

Q: Is a sliding or swinging gate better?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of clearance, a sliding gate can save space. But keep in mind that sliding gates may require more maintenance to keep in operating condition, and swinging gates are often less expensive. </p></div>

Q: Will a gate wheel help with sagging?

• <div><p>Fence gates sag because they have no support on the latch side of the gate to help hold them aloft. A gate wheel fixes that problem by providing support for that latch side. Remember that the ground must be level in front of the gate so the wheel can roll freely when you open and close it. If the terrain is uneven or slopes, a gate wheel won&rsquo;t work.</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!😊

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.
