"Quick response, fair price and great work. Chadwick Fence repaired my wooden privacy fence that had some leaning panels. The work was done in a day and it is back to new. I recommend them for any fencing needs."

"I had been trying to get someone to do a variety of jobs around my office. After several failed attempts to get others to show up, I found Full Turn Services. They were prompt, professional, and thorough. I would highly recommend them if you need anything fixed around your home or office. They hung a large sign, fixed an exit sign, re-caulked a large window, changed our several lights (which required an extension ladder to reach), and several other things. No job was too big or too small. Will definitely use this company again."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.

The best under-gate dog barrier is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.
