"Bob Graham was referred to me by a friend and I am very happy that I hired him to build my deck. He built me a beautiful deck with really nice mahogany decking and his own custom railing system that all my friends and family members commented on when they came over. The first thing they notice is the railing system. His attention to detail is significantly above what would be deemed normal in any category. He is very personable and he always came to work on time. I was also impressed with how he always cleans up his job site and never leaves a mess at the job site at the end of the day. More importantly, I know for a fact, that he stays on your job until it is done he’s not like a lot of other contractors that will move from job to job. When he commits to being on your job site for two or six or eight weeks I can guarantee you that he will stay there until it’s finished. I also know from several of his existing clients that if he’s hired to do 12 or three items by the time they see him finish the first or second item there often asking for a lot more things to be created fixed or installed. I’m very happy with the multiple projects that he has done for me and that’s the reason for this review so that others may experience his services as well."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

In addition to a doorbell camera, you can upgrade your home’s security with several different features. Backyard security, 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 home security systems also lower home insurance costs.

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.

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.

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 automatic gate openers. 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.

Ideally, your gate would swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it's generally best for the gate to swing inward. There are exceptions, however. For example, if your property is on a slope, your gate may not be able to swing in.

Keep in mind that there may be local building codes that require your gate to swing inward.
