A gate gets opened and closed every day, so it has to hang right. Richard measures the opening, builds the gate and installs it so it swings shut and latches.

Why the posts matter
All the weight of a driveway gate hangs on its posts. That's why Richard hangs every gate on quarter-inch-thick posts, so it stays level and keeps latching. Kit gates often come with lighter posts and hinges, and after a few years they sag and start to drag.
Matching a gate to your fence
Take two photos: one of a single fence panel, straight on, and one of the whole opening between the posts. From those, Richard can tell you how close the new gate's pattern and finish can get. The price mostly comes down to the width of the opening, the metal and how decorative the design is, and the estimate is free.
