"I highly recommend Zimmer Gates and Doors. The gate was installed 5 weeks ahead of schedule and exceeded my high expectations. Darryn listened to our needs, made suggestions for a style of gate that would compliment our aesthetics and recommended options to best meet our reasons for wanting/needing a gate. Cost effective, very high quality of product and first-class installation and service. Darryn not only hand washed and dried the gate upon completion, but spent a great deal of time walking me through the operational and technical components and answered my every question. Was self sufficient and required nothing from the client. Meticulous and tidy and the grounds looked better than before he arrived. Darryn even gave me his mobile number should I have questions in the future. I have met very few contractors that exhibit this level of passion for their work and I am thrilled with the overall result."

Hello,\nI’m Tom I have been involved in some type of construction since I was little working with my Dad. I have narrowed things down to decks and fences as I love working outside. I do enjoy those small indoor jobs on cold rainy days, putting things together.\nI would love an opportunity to meet and shop with fence repairs or replacement. \nThank you for considering me.\nTom

"Fantastic. Angel and his crew did incredible work. Would hire again in a heartbeat. The front walkway and stoop cost $4,300 and included the removal of old concrete. The patio wall repair work cost $1,300. When Angel gave me the estimate for the repair work, I was surprised that it would cost that much (especially because the cost of the new walkway and stoop seemed much less costly in comparison), but he explained that it would be more time consuming to break down the old walls and level them than it would be to construct new walls. He was exactly right, because it took his crew several days to do the repair work. The quality of their work is impeccable."

"Elite Fence did the job quickly and worked hard to find replacement parts that matched as closely as possible as the fence was old and out of production. It wasn't a perfect match but they were upfront about that fact from the beginning so no problems there. Price was great and the service was done quickly. The fence looks nice and this helped end nearly 8 months of trying to find a vendor to repair the fence. Would definitely hire again as they go the extra mile, even when the job isn't particularly lucrative."

"iShowed up to do the work when promised. My gate was secured to keep my dog in after the work was completed. Now, that was important because the last company to have access to yard left gate open and dog was missing for 3 hours. I am satisified with the job, will use again and do recommend.

"Brad was fantastic! I had previously had another contractor come in and estimate about 1000 in repairs. Brad indicated this was definitely not the case. He provided an estimate and then beat it by $100. He was knowledgeable, on time and friendly. Estimate was provided and he came back and finished everything in less than 3 hours. Great guy! Great service! And I will be using him again.

"This was a complicated job. We had a small pond installed by a local landscaper about 2 years ago, which turned out to be a nightmare--poorly conceived and leaking so much that we had to refill it daily. We wanted a pond expert to assess what could be done. Jake was extremely knowledgeable. He diagnosed the problem, and offered two options to address the situation: repair the existing pond or tear it out and start from scratch. We decided to go with the second (more expensive) option in order to achieve a better functioning, easier-to-maintain pond. Jake listened to what we wanted and worked with us on the design, even making a significant change at our request mid-installation. Because of the complication of this job (removing existing pond, relocating pavers, and working around irrigation system), we hit a few snags along the way, but Jake was great in resolving all issues that arose and the final product is outstanding. We love our pond and would recommend Jake highly."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

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.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.
