A fence is only as good as its gate. With the right driveway security gate, your property is more secure, convenient, and attractive. A driveway security gate should keep unwanted visitors out while allowing easy access for your guests.
Driveway security gates are a must for certain types of businesses, including storage facilities. But these gates are also a good idea for private homes.
Pacific Fence & Wire install sliding, cantilever, and swing driveway gates.
Here are some of the benefits of a driveway security gate for your property.
Beefed-Up Security
With a sturdy fence, thieves, vandals, crooks, and others up to no good are less likely to target your home.
Criminals are opportunistic and prefer jobs that don’t actually require breaking and entering. They will move onto easier targets — i.e., those properties without driveway security gates.
So be sure to make your property difficult for burglars with a good solid fence and gate. Your gate will need to lock from the inside. We’ll help you choose the latch or lock that’s right for you.
Add Style and Curb Appeal
There’s something impressive about a stylish security gate that spans a driveway. No matter what type of fence you have, we can add a gate that complements and enhances the style.
Whether your fence is chain link, vinyl, wood, or iron, we’ll attach a coordinating gate. This adds to your enjoyment of the home, its curb appeal, and its resale value. (More on this below.)
Keep Out Trespassers
An open driveway is an invitation to those opportunistic types we mentioned above. If you have a long driveway some distance from your home, it can be difficult to control who comes onto your property.
With a professionally installed driveway security gate, there’s no question that your property is off-limits to both solicitors and strangers. Whether you post signs or not, a closed gate sends an unmistakable message.
Increase Your Home’s Value
Fences are an investment in your property. When you add a residential driveway gate design to the mix, especially one that’s stylish and secure, you’ll increase the utility and value of any fence. If you’re planning to sell in the near future, consider the added appeal of a security gate.
There is a lot to choose from, as well. Sliding gates, swinging gates, metal gates, wood gates, powder-coated steel gates, automatic driveway gates with wrought iron accents. We can do gate installs with wooden gates operated by remote.
Just let us know your style preferences and budget, and we’ll get to work!
Make Life Easier
An automatic opener on a driveway gate can make your life easier. With the touch of a button, you can open and close the gate without having to get out of your vehicle. In rainy Portland, Oregon, and elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, an automatic gate will keep you from having to run through the wind and wet to get the gate opened up.
Protect Your Kids and Pets
A fence with gates that lock gives you peace of mind. Your kids and pets need to get outside for exercise, play, and fresh air. But without a fence, it’s hard to keep an eye on little ones.
A flimsy gate makes it easy for kids and pets to leave the yard. Make sure your yard is protected with a quality fence and gates.
