From a practical perspective, a gate is just a door¡ªnothing
more¡ªto an opening through a wall, fence or hedge. But people know
gates are guardians of opportunities for interplay between public
and private space. Custom-made gates can be inviting and intriguing
or imposing and impenetrable. And at the entrance to a home and its
grounds, metal gates make a strong first impression on visitors
about the people who are living in it. Whether designed for grand
entries or quick exits, a good metal gate requires forethought. Will
your new (or newly redesigned) gate be a high-profile, high-traffic
main entrance gate or a private-entry side or back gate? Utility
gates can be plain and practical but should be secure and solidly
built.
An entry gate, though usually the most decorative,
often must be able to withstand frequent use. Three heavy-duty
hinges will help. And because a main gate makes strong impressions
affecting its house mood, it's a bonus when the gate extends a
welcome to guests without surrendering your sense of security.
Should the gate provide privacy or protection for children or pets?
Think solid wood and self-locking latches. Do you want security with
open views to the streets? You can consider wrought iron gate as
your selection. Please be careful to weigh the gate placement as
well. Your garage gate should be securely locked at all times (even
when you are home). Keeping it locked is just as important as
keeping your home locked, especially if the garage is attached to
the home. Once inside the garage a burglar can work uninterrupted at
getting into the house. Police statistics show that approximately
40% of our non-forced entry residential crime is through open garage
doors.
