Can I install my own driveway gate?

• <div><p>It might be possible to install your own manual driveway gate rather than an automatic one, but we don’t recommend it. Driveway gates are large, heavy, and bulky, and getting them to your house and maneuvering them for installation can be dangerous. It’s also challenging to install the gate and balance it perfectly so that it functions as expected, and wiring any automation mechanisms for your gate is also dangerous and requires help from an electrician. We recommend leaving the work to a professional driveway gate installer.</p></div>

When is the best time to install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate?

• <div><p>You can install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate anytime. However, pick a dry day if you apply stain or paint to the paneling. If you’re <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/fence-companies/">hiring a local fencing contractor,</a> they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.</p></div>

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: Do driveway gates increase your home security?

• <div><p>Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-security-cameras.htm">security camera</a> that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity. </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>
