What is the difference between a barrier door and a security door?

• <div><p>Barrier doors or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-things-know-about-screen-doors.htm">screen doors</a> are ideal for bringing in summer breezes without letting in pesky flies and mosquitoes. But these types of doors aren’t as secure as a security door, which is installed with permanent screws into the home’s walls and often have deadbolts or other heavy-duty lock mechanisms for better security.</p></div>

Q: Should a wooden gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>Keep in mind that there may be local building codes that require your gate to swing inward.</p></div>

Q: Should I get a double fence gate for my yard?

• <div><p>If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you&rsquo;re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom. </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: Can I install my own gates?

• <div><p>Installing your own gate is possible, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-gates.htm">types of gates</a> made from the lightest materials are heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver into place. Positioning your gate perfectly is also crucial to make sure it swings smoothly and either closes automatically or doesn&rsquo;t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around <b>$1,000</b>. As such, it&rsquo;s better to hire a professional gate installer.</p></div>
