Q: Does it matter which way a hinge is installed?

• <div><p>It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose a driveway gate?

• <div><p>When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/automatic-front-gate-options.htm">automatic gate</a> or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home&rsquo;s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.</p></div>

Q: Can thieves open electric gates?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gates</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: What is the best wood for an outdoor gate?

• <div><p>Redwood and cedar work well for gates because they resist decay and severe weather conditions. Redwood is considered more elegant, though cedar is more affordable. Other options include oak and treated pine. Avoid softwoods like pine and spruce for outdoor projects, as they are susceptible to water, rot, and sun damage. </p></div>

Q: Is a sliding gate more cost-effective compared to a swing gate?

• <div><p>When making this decision, three essential factors come into play. For budget-conscious individuals, swing gates are the more economical choice. Despite the possibility of both gate types having similar dimensions, many types of sliding gates demand a more intricate opening mechanism and additional components, requiring electrical work for motors and signaling remotes, resulting in higher installation costs.</p></div>

Terrible ending. It was beautiful at first. Then within 6 months my 150 yard, $5000, white stone driveway washed out into the street. The owner, Marcus never returned my calls for assistance.

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.
