"Our garage door wasn’t closing properly and the technician came out here and made it seem like an easy fix. He was quick and efficient so happy we went with Currey Garage door & electric gates!"
We've had two other companies look at our wrought iron entry gate and had been told that it was our battery. We replaced the battery, but continued to have problems with the gate opening. I call Premier Entry Systems and spoke with Les and explained that it might be our solar panel. He asked several questions and thought that could be the problem. I asked or an approximate cost and he told me he would check and call me back. He was quick to return the call with the cost and said he could have someone come to our house the next day. He was informative, courteous and very helpful.
The next morning Kevin came at the time he told us he would and check the panel and indeed it was not holding a charge. He also checked our battery and said it was okay. He installed the new solar panel in a very short amount of time. Again, he was informative and courteous.
We could not have been happier with their services and will definitely use them in the future. Our neighbors are having a similar problem and we will share our experience with them and hopefully they will use this good company as well.
"Andy and his son repaired my Liftmaster Automatic Gate after it was damaged by Snowpocolypse 2021. It require them custom engineering a heavy metal bracket to cover and seal the damage created when the armature was torn from the gate body. His creativity gave us a tremendously sturdier gate and contact point which continuous weld on 3 sides. Literally, much better than original preexisting work. They tested and retested until everything was perfect, hand brushed and smoothed all welds, then first galvanized all their work before matching and repainting the repair. It is not visible to anyone not specifically looking for it. Extremely competitive pricing. I highly recommend them."
"It went extremely well. Hand E Man Service provided quick, professional and very affordable prices. I am very pleased with the outcome and will be calling them for all my maintenance and repair needs."
"Everything went smoothly from the start from giving me the quote to telling me how many days it was gonna take for him to complete. his crew stuck to their word and got it done in the days that he said, and cleaned up all the trash and left nothing behind. I can say, I am very impressed with the fence and the quality of Work that they did. I will use again on another project for sure."
Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.
In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.
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.
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.
It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.
