How do you stop a gate from slamming in the wind?

• <div><p>Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-automatic-gate-opener-installation.htm">automatic gate openers</a>. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.</p></div>

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: How important is an entryway?

• <div><p>While entryways are seldom added to a house to increase the sale price, they are commonly constructed to increase the livability and enjoyment of a home. So, while they aren&rsquo;t necessary, they do make for a more comfortable and luxurious-feeling home. Entryways are most valuable in areas of extreme heat, cold, or rain, as the space between the living area and the outdoors helps keep the outdoors outside. Plus, snow, wet boots, and mud are all corralled into one space that&rsquo;s easy to clean.</p></div>

Q: How do I make my gate safe?

• <div><p>To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you&rsquo;re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.</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>

McFly came by as requested and gave us a very competitive bid. The work was done on time and to our satisfaction. They communicated very well with us and did a walk thru at the end of the job. We highly recommend McFly for pressure washing the house, driveway and sidewalks.

The driveway looks great. They couldn't help work being delayed because of rain. However, I do think the workers could have replaced my drain spout, hose, and bricks I had around flower boxes. They had plenty of time the last afternoon.
