How do I hire a reliable gate installation company?

• <div><p>Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:</p><ul><li><p>Have you worked with my gate material in the past?</p></li><li><p>Do you have customer references I can call?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully insured?</p></li><li><p>Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What is the difference between a barrier door and a security door?

• <div><p>Barrier doors or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-things-know-about-screen-doors.htm">screen doors</a> are ideal for bringing in summer breezes without letting in pesky flies and mosquitoes. But these types of doors aren’t as secure as a security door, which is installed with permanent screws into the home’s walls and often have deadbolts or other heavy-duty lock mechanisms for better security.</p></div>

Q: What's the best under-gate dog barrier?

• <div><p>The best under-gate <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-best-fence-option-keep-your-dog-safe.htm">dog barrier</a> is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.</p></div>

Q: Is it better for a security door to swing inside or outside?

• <div><p>Most exterior doors swing inward for better security. But a security door will swing outward. What makes it so secure are the one-way screws that go through the door, the door frame or house wall, and into the home. Make sure to align your door so it swings outward, with the door handle aligned with the existing door&rsquo;s handle.</p></div>

Q: How much does a security door cost?

• <div><p>A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-know-about-steel-door.htm">steel door</a> to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you&rsquo;ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor 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...
