Servicing the North Shore and the North Side of the city . Fenceworks is a family owned business that has been around the North Shore since 1967. We specialize in Western Red Cedar Fencing, Aluminum, PVC, Chain Link.

"About 15 years ago, we purchased a swing set for our yard. Our kids and the neighborhood kids spent hours playing outside on it. Now that we are selling our home, we are leaving behind the set, and I have to believe that its presence in the yard helped the sale price. Truly a great long-term investment, that brought countless memories to our family."

FAQs for gate for driveway or security installation and replacement projects in Evanston, IL

Installation timeframes vary based on gate complexity and site conditions. Basic manual gates require one to two days when site preparation is already complete. Automated systems often need additional electrical work and testing time, potentially extending the project to three or more days. Weather conditions, special permits, or custom features may further lengthen the timeline.

Regular maintenance helps extend your gate's lifespan and ensure proper operation. Wood gates need periodic sealing or staining to prevent weather damage. Metal gates benefit from rust prevention treatments. For automated systems, inspect motors, hinges, and electronic components regularly. Lubricate moving parts according to manufacturer recommendations and promptly address unusual noises or operational changes.

Most standard homeowner's insurance policies include coverage for permanently installed structures like security gates under the property's dwelling or other structures protection. However, high-value automated systems might warrant discussion with your insurance provider. Some policies may offer liability coverage if your gate injures someone, but specific terms vary by insurer and policy.

Security gates can be adapted for sloped driveways, though installation requires specialized planning. Swing gates need level ground, but professionals can implement custom solutions using adjustable hinges or modified designs. Sliding gates offer another alternative for inclined surfaces. Professional assessment is recommended to determine the most appropriate configuration for your specific gradient.

Well-designed security gates incorporate emergency access provisions. Many localities require gates to have override mechanisms allowing first responder entry during emergencies. Options include Knox boxes (secure containers holding access keys), manual release mechanisms, or specialized access codes. Consult with local fire and emergency services about requirements before finalizing your gate design.
