"Kent Lorenzen, the owner of Elite Fencing, did an outstanding job.  An example of his professionalism that pleased me was his promptness in responding to my initial request for an estimate. He was willing to work with me in order to design the type of fence that I wanted.  He shared multiple examples via email with me and answered all my questions promptly.  I loved the design that I selected and was so pleased because I had other fence companies tell me it wouldn't work.  Once the design was determined the remaining process went smoothly with excellent communication. I always knew when they would be arriving and exactly what would be done.
The only problem encountered was a delay on the delivery of materials which was not the fault of Elite Fencing; however, when the final bill arrived, he had given me a discount because of the delay.  The quality of the work was excellent, the gates installed are beautifully designed with quality hardware, the cleanup was thorough, and the total project was completed exactly as I wanted.  I am completely satisfied with the appearance of the fence and also with the courtesy displayed by his employees.  Professionalism, integrity, and pride are clearly evident in the work that he did for me.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions. That's one of the fantastic things about security doors—they can be tailored to match your home. Keep in mind that a custom-sized security door will likely cost more than a standard size. 

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’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.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.

Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on installing a security door.

However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.
