What is the difference between a barrier door and a security door?

• <div><p>Barrier doors or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-things-know-about-screen-doors.htm">screen doors</a> are ideal for bringing in summer breezes without letting in pesky flies and mosquitoes. But these types of doors aren’t as secure as a security door, which is installed with permanent screws into the home’s walls and often have deadbolts or other heavy-duty lock mechanisms for better security.</p></div>

Q: Can I attach a wood extension to a vinyl gate?

• <div><p>Whether you can attach a wood extension to a vinyl gate depends on the gate's construction. Some vinyl gates are sturdy enough to allow wood or vinyl boards to be attached. Many, however, have hollow frames that may not hold screws or heavy extensions securely. For these, consider alternative extension options such as a rubber flap or chicken wire.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have a gate installed?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-security-gate.htm#">cost to install a gate</a> is around <b>$2,300</b>, but you could pay between <b>$200</b> and <b>$7,000</b>, 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.</p></div>

Q: Can electric gates be opened manually?

• <div><p>Electric gates have a manual override switch that detaches the motor from the opening mechanism. For most gates, this requires a key as a deterrent to thieves or trespassers forcing open your gate. Be aware that many automatic or electric gates are very heavy, so it may be difficult to close the gate if you are fine with manually opening it. </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>
