Q: What is the difference between a screen door and a security door?

• <div><p>Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.</p></div>

Q: Do driveway gates increase your home security?

• <div><p>Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-security-cameras.htm">security camera</a> that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity. </p></div>

Q: Can electric or automatic gates be opened manually?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What's the best under-gate dog barrier?

• <div><p>The best under-gate <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-best-fence-option-keep-your-dog-safe.htm">dog barrier</a> is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.</p><p>There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.</p></div>

"Jeremy came quickly and assured me it was an easy and fast fix and he just needed an additional part he'd pick up in Sandy. He came back, repaired it within 10 minutes and it works great.
BUT.....because I have worked with Earthworks before, they were, of course, my first (my ONLY) call. Nowhere on Angie's List and never during my conversation with Marissa was I told there was a two-hour minimum (all the other projects they've done were much bigger, so it never came up). At $65/hour, this 10 minute job cost me$130! Had I known, I would have looked for a local handyman and that is certainly what I'll do in the future. And, yes, I did talk with Marissa at Earthworks regarding the bill and it stands as billed.
I'm sorry, guys, you've lost my business.

"Better than I could've hoped for. Bob and Brandon were awesome! They showed up for the consultation early, but not obnoxiously early. First thing I appreciated. They were honest about what needed to be done. This was a Saturday, said they would have estimates for me on Monday. They called me Sunday, directly, which I appreciated. Not only did they give me different options, they were up front with what each one had, and didn't have to offer. They also informed me they wouldn't be able to start until Wednesday due to another job they were working on. Though it sucked, I understood, and appreciated their honesty. Got another call a short while later informing me they could actually start the next day on Monday due to an unexpected wait on some tile for another customer. I was floored! I was so happy to be a priority for them, really made me feel special. My wife and I needed this done so we could sell our house and were not looking forward to waiting. Needless to say, we felt blessed. The job took two days, it wasn't big, just beyond my own skill set. Not only did they put new siding in, but they went above and beyond and made new frames for all the windows, put in a new flood light, and caulked one more window for us. The place looks amazing! These two take pride in their craft, and that's what I'll call it because it was more than just work to them. Not only was it good, but done a lot sooner than we were expecting. I was so happy that I gave them both a $50 gift card to Texas Roadhouse. Should I need to the services of a good handyman again, I'm calling these guys first."
