"JR is absolutely wonderful. Our gate opener had some sort of mystery problem. He came out and figured out what the issue was and fixed it. He was on time. He was SO courteous and helpful. I will be using him for all my fence and gate issues on our property from now on."

"They came out after the permit was given and got right to work the first setting all the poles and the big mister one that was going to hold the gate and got the gate frame done. The next day the same and knocked it out in a fury of nails from the one and sparks from the welding the gate opening system and ram. I love my fence and private driveway gate. It's nothing short of beautiful. And thank you guys so much."

"I began our search for a fencing contractor with these two considerations in mind: quality product and quality workmanship I requested bids from five different fencing contractors. One of the contractors had built two of our neighbor’s fences; so, we saved them for last as we were somewhat familiar with their work. The first four contractors seemed reputable and competitively priced. However, I found myself having to negotiate add-ons, and questioning their construction procedures. I then called Cisco Fences Inc.; the company that constructed our neighbors’ fences. Francisco Lopez, the owner of Cisco Fences, came out to measure the area and provide an estimate. I explained that I wanted a cedar, board on board, 8’ high fence with a top cap. I was very impressed with Francisco’s knowledge. He thoroughly explained every aspect of what their construction entailed. His quote was in line with the quotes I had received from the other companies. He then asked how many gates we wanted, if we wanted one of the headers and decorative gate hardware – all of which can be seen on their website – all of which also was part of his initial quote. What further impressed me is the scrolled headers and wrought-iron window inserts, which are depicted on their web site. The headers are hand cut from dimensional cedar board lumber and fitted on-site. All posts were set 6ft or less on center, hand dug and sunk 3ft then supported with site-mixed concrete (other contractors are known to use “quick set” concrete which is not as solid). He then said that he would take care of the city inspection and, as I have a swimming pool, erect temporary protective fencing while the concrete was setting up. By the time he was finished, I had no further questions – he had thoroughly covered everything. A testament to their quality control was shown as, at the end of each day, either Francisco’s project manager or one of his foremen came out to check on the progress and make sure the work was up to par. After the fence was erected and acclimated for several weeks, they came back out and inspected each board and replaced several boards that were not up to their quality standards. Then they stained the fence. We were so impressed with their workmanship and professional manner that we contracted them to build a stone retaining wall on the front corner of our property as we had erosion which needed to be mitigated. We also had a stone border built along the front flower beds; all of which had a base of rebar set into concrete – a very solid solution. Additionally, we had our front entry as well as our back porch paved with flagstone; which they hand selected, so the color would complement the brick on our house. All of which was cut and fitted on-site. Obviously, I highly recommend Cisco Fences for their skilled and excellent workmanship. Plano. TX"

"On time, knowledgeable, clean, informative, and extremely respectful. I donâ t know how many other words I can come up with. These guys not installed my garage door opener, but my garage floor was a mess. They swept it out and put the trash in my dumpster. Who does that? These guys are great, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Austin, for restoring my faith in humanity and contractors as a whole."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

Each has its use, depending on the scenario. Security doors are primarily intended to keep people out of the home, while storm doors are used to protect the home from extreme weather. Both tend to be made from heavy-duty metal and may include glass panels to allow light to enter the home. Storm doors can feature mesh screens, just like screen doors, to allow for increased ventilation and to keep out pests. Security doors rarely, if ever, have mesh screens.
