Ask the Right Questions

How deep do they set their hinge post?

A few of our competitors are telling potential customers that they set their hinge post 5' deep Their method of digging is usually done by a pair of hand held post hole diggers. These types of diggers can only dig a hole about 3 1/2' to 4' down.

We use a 763 Bobcat drilling machine. All of our machine holes are drilled past 5' deep, we also fill the center of the hinge post with concrete to add additional strength from flexing. We offer a 10 year warranty against the gate sagging or dragging on the ground.

How  do they paint their gates?

If they tell you they spray their gates, there is a good chance you will have early rusting due to the fact the paint does not go behind cracks or inside tubes. We pressure wash and then dip our gates for 100% coverage inside & out. Some of our competitors advertise that they dip when they paint, however, many do not do so. That is why it is important to visit showrooms to verify the dipping process, style and quality.

How well do their gates stay shut at the end?

Most gate opener arms only grab out around 35".

The short grab does not hold gates well. We sell several new models that grab out past 50". These new units hold your gate secure at the end. Here is more information about our Gate Openers.

Do they have a showroom?

If a company can't show you their quality of work, you could end up with a poor quality job.

For your convenience our showroom is open after hours Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday until 9:00 PM.
