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>

Q: How do I stop my dog from going under my wrought iron gate?

• <div><p>Your dog might be able to slip underneath chewable, flexible fabric gate covers. When you have a wayward woofer, using wooden panels that come within an inch or two of the ground is the most secure option. You may need a metal defense barrier dug into the soil to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keep-dogs-from-digging-under-fence.htm">keep your dog from digging under your fence</a> or gate.</p></div>

Q: Do gates require maintenance?

• <div><p>Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.</p></div>

Q: Should I get a double fence gate for my yard?

• <div><p>If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you&rsquo;re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom. </p></div>

Q: How much should a wooden gate cost?

• <div><p>A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.</p><p>Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.</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...

"The job M.C. Hammers did was exceptional! Great work ethics! They arrived on time, were courteous, and knowledgable about putting the gazebo together. It had a lot of parts and pieces, and they went the extra mile to get the job finished. They also installed a bar that went with the gazebo that wasn't factored in the build. They did a fantastic job. I will hire them to do other jobs for me in the future."
