"So smoothly! Scheduling and choosing our fence was super easy - they helped us choose which fencing, the hardware, and offered advice on other accessories. The crew showed up on time, and the fence was installed VERY quickly, and looks GREAT (5-6 years running). Over the years, some settling has occurred. I called to ask what can be done, and StraightForward came out and just corrected the leveling of the fence with no questions asked! WOW! Recently, one of the gate hinges snapped. It took just a bit to get someone to come out to look at it, but when he did, it was fixed in no time flat. And the gate works great now! And, to my surprise, it was the owner himself, Gary, that took the time to come out and service us. It isn't often that a company in this type of industry will continue with awesome customer service AFTER the product has been installed and the sale complete, but StraightForward is one of the few. We will have more fencing needs in the coming months/year, and will only make one phone call - to StraightForward. Great product. Great service!"

"Tom Lucas was prompt in providing the quote, and told me what to expect with regard to the process.  Once the materials were ordered, he would install the posts in concrete and allow them to cure before installing the fencing. The weather was not cooperative so it took a few more weeks before the fence was installed.  It looks great. The gate needs a slight adjustment, but that was expected with the cold weather, and Tom said he'd be back to make that adjustment soon.

"The walls in my apartment didn't have any studs where I wanted the TV. So he checked another wall then completed the work very quickly. He then repaired all the holes that he made in the other wall trying to find the stud. Looks great and my tv hasn't moved an inch. I'm very happy with their work. I recommend them to anyone that has odd jobs they can't get to."

"The men came to the house much later than expected because they had a rush job before hand. (We didn't know this at first.)  When they did arrive, they explained what they were going to do then got to work right away and stopped when the sun went down.  Most of the fence went up on the 29th, but had to come back on the 30th to repair the existing gate and put the finishing touches on the fence they installed.  They made sure everything worked before leaving.  We are very pleased with the work and the fence and would use their services again if needed."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

You don’t need a permit for an automatic gate in most cities because it isn’t a structural change to your home, but you need to check. A pro can help you with this and since we don’t recommend installing an automatic gate yourself, you should already be in contact with one, making this a frictionless question. Outside of permit requirements, you need to consider your homeowners association (HOA), as some are against gated homes.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

Automatic gates don’t use too much electricity, and you should see a minimal effect on your utility bill. In fact, certain gate systems are entirely self-sufficient and rely on solar panels attached to or near the gate to power the motor. While a gate is large and there is a powerful motor moving it, it’s not something that sees constant use throughout the day. For most automatic gates, expect to see a utility bill increase of only around $10 per month.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.
