How do you stop a gate from slamming in the wind?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-automatic-gate-opener-installation.htm">automatic gate openers</a>. 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.</p></div>

Are security doors difficult to install?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-security-door.htm">installing a security door</a>.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Do gate hinges wear out?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What is the most secure type of driveway gate?

• <div><p>If increased security is your bag, you may want to steer away from a simple wood gate. After all, it&rsquo;s pretty easy to cut through wood. Instead, go for a metal gate with an advanced locking system. Even better? Install a high-tech automated barrier system similar to those found at commercial facilities. However, you&rsquo;ll pay handsomely for the privilege.</p></div>

Q: How long does a driveway gate last?

• <div><p>Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-sliding-gate.htm">sliding gate mechanisms</a>, which can go out from frequent use. </p></div>

Jan Fence did a beautiful job. I needed a fenced backyard for my dog. The back 25 feet of the property was a mess - huge boulders on one corner, one side sloped down quite a bit and it was used as a dump for leaves - about 3 feet with dead trees and logs. I had one estimate from another...

Steve and his team were fantastic. He showed up to do the measurements, gave us a quote and when we agreed on the price, they ordered the materials. The materials took about 3 weeks to come in, and they setup the days to work the very next week. Steve's team were punctual, professional and did...

They were very responsive to phone calls and explained things thoroughly. They talked over the placement of the fence for a long time with me and their workmen were prompt and polite.

It went well. I went with a cedar wood driveway gate (that I did not want to look like a driveway gate) and cedar wood enclosure and a small additional 6 foot chain-link gate in between the house and another structure. I first had the driveway gate completed, and several weeks later as I wanted...

When we started the process they estimated a 2 to 3 week wait for the work to be done, three days later they were setting posts and the next day the fence was up and done. Excellent work.

Steve was extremely flexible around our work schedules. He came, measured, discussed different options of fencing. He didn't pressure us to buy a more expense fence that we didn't need or couldn't afford. It is almost a year later and it looks great and is doing a great job keeping our dog...
