Thank you, Duke for doing such a wonderful job. I will call you again if I need to upgrade my chainlink."

"We hired Josiah with Gate Technologies to install a custom single swing gate for our driveway at home. He was able to take our vision, and design and build exactly what we wanted. He did all the fabrication and installation, and addressed our questions and concerns very professionally along the way, without questioning. In the world of custom gate installations, it's important to learn patience, as all providers in this space have long lead times in being able to get started. But once we were next in line, Josiah got cranking and got us an absolutely beautiful gate that works just as we envisioned. Just recently, I reached out to Josiah, as the gate electronics suddenly stopped responding. He replied within minutes and helped me do a simple reset, and it is working perfectly again. Josiah is an artist, with tons of experience, and will do everything he can to make you a happy customer with a new beautiful gate! Including a picture from when it was nearly done."
"We hired Coho to replace and installed a new 300' cedar fence around our house, with moderately complex slope and with a number of gates. They quoted a reasonable price, described exactly what was needed accomplish the job and ensure a high-quality, long-lasting fence. There were no corners cut, overall high-quality work, high quality materials - we are super pleased with how things turned out. Gate install and hardware are very high quality. Highly recommend."
"We made some minor changes along the way and Dan was great and easy to work with. He is very particular and ensures that all of the work is done to perfection and to our satisfaction. We are very pleased with how our deck turned out.....it looks beautiful. We would highly recommend Dan!
"They were prompt and meticulous with the concrete work, which looked great. They convinced me that I should also seal the concrete pad and tint it to mitigate the harsh whiteness of the concrete. I decided to take a chance on this and was absolutely delighted with the results. With the tinting, the pad blended in much better with the vegetation, and it added to the curb appeal of the house, which we were planning to put on the market. The tinting was well worth the extra cost. They also recommended tinting the new concrete, and the results were equally good. My lesson is that ANB will try to sell extra services, but their recommendations are thoughtful and worth considering. "
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.

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.

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.
