If You Think Driveway Entry Gates Are Only for the Rich Then It’s Time to Think Again
When you think about automatic gates that are installed on a home, what comes to mind? If you’re like many people, you think of huge houses, mansions, homes of the famous, or huge estates. The reality is that what was once a status symbol can now be enjoyed by the average homeowner. Read on to learn more about your options for entry gates and then contact Dynamic Garage Door at 855-343-3667 to find out more about options for any budget.
There are three main opening types for gates
When you work with Dynamic Garage Door, you can have a custom gate created exactly for your needs. As a result, you have access to a nearly endless list of gate styles, hardware types, and more. That said, there are three main opening types that most consumers choose:
- Sliding gates. This is a great choice if you don’t have room for a swinging gate to open into and if you need extra security. If you have fencing, this gate will slide open parallel to your fence.
- Swinging gates. This option features a hinge that’s stationary on one end and can swing open and closed on the other. In most cases, this is a more affordable option compared to sliding gates.
- Four-fold gates. If you have a parking garage, then a four-fold gate is likely the option you want. With this choice, the four-fold door panels can fold entirely clear of the opening. As a result, they’re visible to drivers during their entire usage, which can help eliminate damage to doors and cars.
We can help you find the right location for your driveway gate
Not only can our experienced staff help you find the right driveway gate for your needs, we can help you decide where to install it. You want your car to be able to safely exit the road while waiting for your gate to open. There’s nothing worse than having to block traffic while your gate opens.
You also want to ensure that our clients imagine the gate fully open. We then look for anything that might obstruct the path of the gate. For example, someone who’s not a specialist in this business might not realize how much a sloped driveway or uneven ground can affect the installation of a driveway gate.
Finally, we’ll investigate the bylaw restrictions that affect how high the gate can be and other facts about the location setback from your property and the road. For example, in some developments, you can’t have a gate that blocks your neighbor’s ability to see the street. There are also bylaws that affect fire code and firefighter access that we’ll be sure to follow.
If you want to increase the security of your home while simultaneously making a significant upgrade to its curb appeal, then it’s time to contact Dynamic Garage Door at 855-343-3667 to learn more about driveway gates.
