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: What is the best wood for an outdoor gate?

• <div><p>Redwood and cedar work well for gates because they resist decay and severe weather conditions. Redwood is considered more elegant, though cedar is more affordable. Other options include oak and treated pine. Avoid softwoods like pine and spruce for outdoor projects, as they are susceptible to water, rot, and sun damage. </p></div>

Q: Do installations include gates and access controls?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.</p></div>

Q: Do gate installations include warranties?

• <div><p>Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.</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>

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.
