Sure, a walk gate is a necessary point of entry, but, it can be so much more! Many of our DFW customers like to work with our Dallas Fort Worth design team to make their gate a special focal point of the DFW property. Custom driveway gates add curb appeal to your Fort Worth home and are the perfect finishing touch for a beautiful long lasting fence.
Choosing a Walkway Gate Type & Material to Match Your DFW Property
- Your gate can match your fence, or provide contrast.
- A wrought iron gate is elegant and eye-catching.
- Iron gates can be powder coated with custom colors for a variety of looks. Available in bronze, white, green, black, brown or custom colors, powder coating inhibits rust and increases the life of your custom iron gate.
- For an even more distinctive look, add spires, inserts, designs and finials.
- Wooden gates look great with wood, iron or aluminum fences. Stain your wooden gate for weather protection and a classic look. Choose a stain color that compliments your DFW house and your landscaping.
- Aluminum gates are another option for driveway gates. These driveway gates have the look of traditional wrought iron fences and offer outstanding strength with many design and color options that aren’t available to iron fences.
- You can further customize driveway gates with decorative accents made of pewter, glass, iron, wood or ceramic. We can help you pick sturdy, weather-resistant materials that will last a long time without damaging your fence.
Gate Swing & Security
There are two options for opening walkway gates: inward and outward swinging. For safety, Buzz recommends inward opening gates for backyards with dogs and children. If a latch is accidentally left unlocked, this gate design makes escape from your Dallas Fort Worth property more difficult. You can also choose between a left or right swinging gate for your dominant hand!
There are several security and design considerations for walkway gate hardware. If the gate is for a pool fence, Buzz will be required to follow specific guidelines to limit unwanted access from the outside, while still being convenient for swimmers.
Gate latches come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are as diverse as the fencing material Buzz provides! Some latches only work with an inward or outward swinging gate, while others work with any type of gate. Gravity and spring loaded latches are popular options, when you close the gate the latch locks into place automatically. Bolt latches are manual, but can be affordable, long lasting, and maintain a vintage look.
Securing a gate can either be through a padlock purchased separately, or part of the latch design such as a deadbolt. Buzz offers lever, ring and thumb latches that can all be secured.
