Having a security gate installed on your property brings about a lot of benefits. However, to ensure these benefits are maximized, it’s important to make sure the gates are properly installed. The installation can be made a DIY task or professionally installed. If you wish to install your security gates by yourself, then you’ve come to the right place! In this post, we’re going to take you through the processes involved in the installation of a security gate. Let’s take a look! Go through the instructions carefully to get the best out of your installation and also a good understanding. Dig holes for the posts. Don’t make holes round to make sure the posts do not turn or twist. Get rid of any obstructions like uneven ground, rocks or any other obstacles that may impact the free opening of the gate. Re-confirm the distance between the two poles to make sure that the gate can hang perfectly between them. Get an adjustable hinge. Adjustable hinge will allow for extra customization while also enabling improved correction of errors. Make sure that the measurement taken leaves sufficient space for vehicles such as emergency vehicles and package delivery trucks when opened. If you have a fence that’ll be connected to the gate, you should install the gate at the back of the fencing pillars. If you later decide to automate the security gate, this will prove to be a smart move as it enables a free and unhindered function. Make sure you go through the local laws before installation.
