Are security doors only available in standard sizes, or can they be customized?

• <div><p>Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions.

Q: Is it worth it to install a gate on my property?

• <div><p>Installing a gate on an existing fence or alongside a new fence is usually worthwhile, even though it can be expensive. Side gates give you easier access to your rear yard, making the space more usable. More importantly, they can help keep your children and pets safe in your yard without compromising accessibility. Security gates are particularly worthwhile, as they have the added bonus of protecting your home. In case that&rsquo;s not enough upside, installing a fence with gates usually boosts your curb appeal and property value.</p></div>

Q: Can you convert manual gates to electric?

• <div><p>Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-sliding-gate.htm">sliding gate parts</a> before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a wooden gate post be?

• <div><p>Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.</p></div>

Q: Is having a driveway gate installed worth it?

• <div><p>Driveway gates are expensive to install, but they are usually a worthwhile investment. Not only does this exterior feature improve your curb appeal and, by extension, your property value, but they also help keep your home secure. Driveway can keep out unwanted guests and provide additional privacy for you and your household. Plus, they can serve as a means of keeping children and pets in your yard, depending on the type of fence.</p></div>

J. Stewart Paving removed my old driveway and laid down a new asphalt one in about 3 hours. The asphalt thickness is 2.5" and the driveway size is 10' x 40'. The results look very good.

The salesman was very thorough in presenting my options. The installers did an excellent job. And everything looks great - clean straight lines, sturdy gate with up-to-date locking mechanism. Very fair pricing.

It did not got well from the start. They told me they could not put the fence in one location because of the length of the pieces (when they were there to install it), but I found out later that was not true they could have put it exactly where I wanted it. The double gate was installed...

When I was younger I used to put up a lot of fence with my father. The workers did a good job, they did the job as I would have. It's straight, level and the gate works perfectly. They did run into a problem, they were shorted some supplies but that was quickly remedied. We had vinyl privacy...
