What size gate spring should I use?

• <div><p>Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.</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.

Q: Do gate installations include warranties?

• <div><p>Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.</p></div>

Q: Is a sliding or swinging gate better?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of clearance, a sliding gate can save space. But keep in mind that sliding gates may require more maintenance to keep in operating condition, and swinging gates are often less expensive. </p></div>

Q: Is a sliding gate more cost-effective compared to a swing gate?

• <div><p>When making this decision, three essential factors come into play. For budget-conscious individuals, swing gates are the more economical choice. Despite the possibility of both gate types having similar dimensions, many types of sliding gates demand a more intricate opening mechanism and additional components, requiring electrical work for motors and signaling remotes, resulting in higher installation costs.</p></div>

Derek’s crew installed a low voltage electric gate across our driveway with code pads. They did a great job, clean and tidy, and just what we wanted. We are very pleased.

Cisco is polite, timely and fairly priced. Before he came to my home he researched my automatic gate, so he could better troubleshoot when he arrived, I really appreciated that. He also did not mind me watching and trying to help. When possible I like to learn, so I can do it next time. He also...
