"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

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

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.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
