"I had a vinyl fence installed by them about four months ago. Upon installation one of the crew told me that the gate was bent, "due to packaging," and that they would make it right. I have exchanges several emails with Scott who said he would fix the problem but have yet to see anyone. He is now not returning calls or emails."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

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’s handle.

The average cost to install a gate is around $2,300, but you could pay between $200 and $7,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factors to consider are the gate type of gate you want installed and the gate material. Automatic gates leading to your driveway will usually be the most expensive options, given the size and weight of the gate, as well as the added cost of the electronics for control. Chain-link and vinyl gates will usually be the most affordable, while aluminum and metal gates fetch the highest prices.

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’s not enough upside, installing a fence with gates usually boosts your curb appeal and property value.
