"Sean and his team, managed to lose my reservation with them, but to his credit even though he was out of state he did everything to make it right. Including in the evening to get me loaded and on the road in schedule. He could have easily dropped me, but is a man of his word. Excellent truck pack. Would definitely use again!"

"Wonderful experience! He was always professional and very pleasant. He fixed, repaired, installed and improved so many things in my house that had been waiting for years for someone like him. My house is an antique school house with plenty of quirks, but Harold was never a nay-sayer like so many handymen. He respected the homeowner's ideas, and knew how to make things work. He did everything with a smile and never stressed. I will always appreciate the improvements, and will hire Harold whenever I need cosmetic or remodeling work."

"Arrived 1 hour late. Said they were bringing parts Brought "guts" for toilet flushbox. Didn't need it. Five minute repair had toilet working again. Brought bathroom faucet with them. Did not bring kitchen faucet which he said he had when we spoke. So the went to Home Depot and came back with faucet. He then proceeded to install both faucets. He then told me I owed him $900.00 which I was not prepared for. And I told him so. Angi's estimated a repair for somewhere around $342, I think. I had $550.00 put aside for the job. I gave him that. I usually keep $200.00 at home for emergency. Gave him that as well. Since he still didn't seem satisfied I wrote a check for the final $150.00. He said make it out to cash. And check HAS been cashed. I felt completely intimidated. I'm 82 years old and live only on social security. I have never felt so 'taken advantage of' in my life. And since my name will be provided to them, I guess I now need to be afraid of retaliation. A bit scary. But I need to do this anyway. If only to save others from the same fate. He actually had the audacity to charge me $100.00 for the toilet repair which, as I said, took 5 minutes. That's $20.00 per minute! After they left I went on Home Depot's website. The bathroom faucet retailed for $27.00. He charged me $50.00. The kitchen faucet retailed for $89.00. He charged me $150.00. On the phone I was told how 'fair' they were. No way!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

A Trex gate costs $750 plus another $200 for the hardware pack necessary for installation. By contrast, Trex fencing ranges in price from $22 to $38 per linear foot, so you may pay a lot or a little depending on just how much space you need to enclose in your yard. 

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.

Even if you have extensive experience working with electronics or gates, we recommend leaving this repair to a local gate repair professional. Small tasks, such as battery replacement or debris removal, can be DIY projects, but more involved repairs require a pro’s skills and knowledge. Whenever wiring is involved, it’s easy to cause serious damage to your gate’s system, which can lead to bigger, more costly problems.
