Request a quoteDewald reached out to me from the beginning so he immediately stood out. Although he wasn't the cheapest to replace my garage motor, he offered value for money when I also decided to replace my wooden garage to chromadek steel. His installation team was very professional - managing to custom-install the door as the ground wasn't level. Will definitely use them again.

Frequently asked questions
-
What should I take into consideration when choosing property gates?
Before deciding on a gate, you should think about the style of your home exterior, about the type of the door that will suit you best (sliding or swing gates), about the property size (so you can choose the right size), about maintenance you are willing to do and, lastly, about your budget.
-
How to choose the right gate size?
The driveway gate should be a little wider than your driveway entrance. Use a tape measure, and measure your driveway. Use a smaller single gate for a straight driveway. Use a wider double gate if you have curves on your driveway.
-
Should a gate open in or out?
It is usual for gates to open inwards. In some cases, it is even illegal for gates to open outwards, into public property.
-
What are the differences between swing, sliding and dual opening doors?
Swing gates usually work more quietly and have less repair issues because there are not as many moving parts as are found in slide gates. However, sliding gates will save you much more space inside or outside the driveway. The dual swing gates open like a set of french doors. Since the length of the open gate is cut in half, it is often times easier to have this type of gate for residential driveways.
