"We are very happy with our new fence. Tom was to our house within a week when we first called to discuss the job. We sent him pictures of the custom fence we were looking to have added on on side of our driveway about 80 feet. After we selected him he brought by a small sample of how it would look. We wanted a fence style that you don't see very often on East coast. Tom was the best quote we received and was very confident he could complete the custom fence to our liking. Tom does all the work and is busy so you must be patient. Once he got to our project he was done in a few days.

"Dan is a dream come true! Not only an expert craftsman, he's also incredibly talented and an absolute pleasure to work with. His work is always A++++ We have done extensive work to the exterior (front and side entry) as well as an oak timbered porch. He, along with his son Tyler framed and tiled a full mud room with gorgeous custom bar. He has also sanded floors, built custom shelving, replaced all stair railings, built a custom bar, the list goes on! His knowledge of material is unparalleled. Most importantly Dan is a wonderful person. He is extremely patient (as I change my mind from time to time!) He is always on time and so respectful to our property. He takes immense pride in his work, and no job goes unfinished. He pays attention to every little detail. In short, since we found Dan our home has turned from lovely to extraordinary. I can't say enough good things and would recommend him over and over again."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’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.

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.

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 automatic gate openers. 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.

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.

Each has its use, depending on the scenario. Security doors are primarily intended to keep people out of the home, while storm doors are used to protect the home from extreme weather. Both tend to be made from heavy-duty metal and may include glass panels to allow light to enter the home. Storm doors can feature mesh screens, just like screen doors, to allow for increased ventilation and to keep out pests. Security doors rarely, if ever, have mesh screens.
