Are security doors difficult to install?

• <div><p>Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-security-door.htm">installing a security door</a>.</p><p>However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.</p></div>

Can I install my own driveway gate?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

What size gate spring should I use?

• <div><p>Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.</p></div>

Q: What types of security solutions do commercial locksmiths offer?

• <div><p>Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.</p></div>

Q: Is it better for a security door to swing inside or outside?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s handle.</p></div>

Luis provided estimates and pics. He did a good job with the fence gate. He later returned and changed the gate handle and a board per my dad's preference without taking offense or problems. Luis is polite and we looking forward to him doing more home projects. Thank you!

I believe they do good driveways. We got a prompt estimate from Steve. $25K. He said just call if you have any questions. I did, but it seems he couldn't do me the courtesy of returning my calls. Not good business. He lost my business.
