Q: Can you convert manual gates to electric?

• <div><p>Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-sliding-gate.htm">sliding gate parts</a> before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.</p></div>

Q: How important is an entryway?

• <div><p>While entryways are seldom added to a house to increase the sale price, they are commonly constructed to increase the livability and enjoyment of a home. So, while they aren&rsquo;t necessary, they do make for a more comfortable and luxurious-feeling home. Entryways are most valuable in areas of extreme heat, cold, or rain, as the space between the living area and the outdoors helps keep the outdoors outside. Plus, snow, wet boots, and mud are all corralled into one space that&rsquo;s easy to clean.</p></div>

Q: What is the gap between double gates?

• <div><p>Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. </p></div>

Q: Is it better for a security door to swing inside or outside?

• <div><p>Most exterior doors swing inward for better security. But a security door will swing outward. What makes it so secure are the one-way screws that go through the door, the door frame or house wall, and into the home. Make sure to align your door so it swings outward, with the door handle aligned with the existing door&rsquo;s handle.</p></div>

Q: What is the best place to put a gate?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>
