"He called before he arrived, giving me an estimated time of arrival, and he arrived promptly. He was very pleasant, polite and cordial, and took a look/listen to the back screen door. After lubricating the hinges didn't work, he quickly figured out the culprit and fixed that. Since it did not take very long to make the repairs, he offered to look at other doors. I forgot the sliding door handles were loose, so he tightened those up and also lubricated the track. The door slides much easier now! Also, the front door was squeaking so he figured out the problem there. The upper jamb was pulling away from the frame a bit, so he removed the upper pneumatic assembly and put a screw in there to hold the upper jamb, and then positioned another screw below that one. Then he put the pneumatic assembly back and the door no longer squeaks! He also lubricated the hinges there as well. 
He was a really nice guy who knew a lot about doors, frames, hinges, and other things too. I would call him again if I had any problems around the house.

"After a tree fell on our aluminum fence, I couldn't get the company who installed it to even come give us a repair estimate! After finding Hal Co on Angie's list, I got excellent service from the estimator, office, and installers. The fence and gate looked and functioned better than before! When another tree fell on a different part of the fence about six months later, I knew exactly who to call. Once again, I was thrilled with Hal Co's performance."

"Mr. Harper arrived for the estimate on the day & time as scheduled (others did not). He brought several samples for us to choose from. He & his crew performed all that was promised with minimal interference to our lives.  We are very pleased with the new deck & receive many compliments on the work from visitors to our home.  The delay in sending in a report on the work has nothing to do with Mr. Harper & Oasis Decks; time just got away from us. We plan on having Mr. Harper return to put up gates at the top of both stairways as we now have a grandchild who is walking."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions. That's one of the fantastic things about security doors—they can be tailored to match your home. Keep in mind that a custom-sized security door will likely cost more than a standard size. 

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 automatic gate openers. 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.

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.

Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on installing a security door.

However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.

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 security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.
