Get matched with top driveway gate pros in Norfolk, VA

Q: Do services include security doors?

• <div><p>Yes, many providers offer reinforced steel, fire-rated, and electronic access doors for businesses.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a gate?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a permit to install a gate or fence on your property. Before your local municipality can issue a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a>, you might also need a site plan or survey to identify property lines. Otherwise, you could infringe on your neighbor&rsquo;s property, leading to having to pay to take down and re-erect the fence. Permits for a gate and fence usually cost under <b>$100</b>. Luckily, your gate installation company will usually pull the permits for you and handle all of the red tape.</p></div>

Q: Can electric gates be opened manually?

• <div><p>Electric gates have a manual override switch that detaches the motor from the opening mechanism. For most gates, this requires a key as a deterrent to thieves or trespassers forcing open your gate. Be aware that many automatic or electric gates are very heavy, so it may be difficult to close the gate if you are fine with manually opening it. </p></div>

Q: Is a sliding or swinging gate better?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of clearance, a sliding gate can save space. But keep in mind that sliding gates may require more maintenance to keep in operating condition, and swinging gates are often less expensive. </p></div>

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>

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Dan Dale Fence for the installation of my new white vinyl fence, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience! From the very first consultation, which lasted about 45 minutes, I was impressed by how informative my consultant was. He took the time to explain all my options and even provided various financing solutions to fit my budget, which was a huge relief. What stood out to me was how seamlessly they handled my HOA documents. It can be a hassle dealing with those requirements, but Dan Dale Fence made it a breeze. I appreciated their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything was in order before moving forward. The installation was scheduled within just a week, and the team was efficient and professional, completing the project in just two days. I was amazed at how quickly they transformed my yard! After the installation, Dan Dale Fence reached out to walk me through my warranty and customer care package, which made me feel valued as a customer. It’s clear that they prioritize customer satisfaction and support even after the project is complete. Overall, I highly recommend Dan Dale Fence for anyone looking to install a fence. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer service truly set them apart. Thank you, Dan Dale Fence, for a fantastic experience!"
