"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

Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.

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’re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.

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.

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.
