Q: Does it matter which way a hinge is installed?

• <div><p>It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it&rsquo;s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.</p></div>

Q: Should I get an electric gate?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What is the most secure door for a garage?

• <div><p>There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. </p></div>

Q: Can I install my own gates?

• <div><p>Installing your own gate is possible, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-gates.htm">types of gates</a> made from the lightest materials are heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver into place. Positioning your gate perfectly is also crucial to make sure it swings smoothly and either closes automatically or doesn&rsquo;t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around <b>$1,000</b>. As such, it&rsquo;s better to hire a professional gate installer.</p></div>

Woke up this morning to no heat. Called Joey at 6:30 and he said he and crew would be right over. When he got here, he found my ignitor had frozen. They fixed it by 11:00 and I was finally warm. You can't get better service than that.
