A Driveway Gate: Ten Worth-It Reasons to Install One


Residential Gate

Do you need a driveway gate for your property? It can be a smart investment for many reasons. Here are the top 10 reasons our customers give us for seeking out a driveway gate:

1. Control

A driveway gate allows you to control who enters your property.

2. Security

Give your family an extra layer of security with a driveway gate. Your children and pets will stay a safe distance from busy streets, and the obstructed path will prevent threats and break-ins to your home.

3. Privacy

Keep out not just robbers, but salespeople, canvassers, disgruntled in-laws, and other unwanted visitors.

4. Animal-Proofing

Deer that want to eat your flower beds and bears roaming for garbage needn’t disturb you. Keep them at bay with a driveway gate and surrounding fence.

5. Lower Insurance Costs

If a gate is highly secure and effective at protecting your property, insurers may quote you lower premiums. Check with your insurance provider to see if they would cut you a deal.

6. Greater Property Value

The curb appeal of a driveway gate is unquestionable. You’ll amp up the value of your estate right away.

7. Style

The immediate sense of luxury can’t be ignored. Turn your home into an estate with the dramatic touch of a driveway gate. At Security Five, we provide custom, strong, secure gates that are beautiful and that complement and enhance the look of your property.

8. Convenience

With an automated driveway gate installed, those few trusted family members who are in possession of the keys can access the property easily. You will never need to physically unlock and open the gate. In fact, you can open and close the gate in a few seconds with just a click. Remote access means that you don’t have to get a single finger wet in the rain.

9. Preparedness

For a lot of reasons, the survivalist/emergency preparedness trend has taken off across the country. Are you a member of a niche survivalist group? Or maybe you’re one of the “preppers” who just wants to feel more protected against the unknown? Either way, a heavy, tall gate might be just what you need. And if dozens of bloodthirsty zombies ever do show up at the edge of your property, we promise not to call you crazy.

10. The Cool Factor

Face it, driveway gates are cool. They can be as high tech as the rest of your property, too. Once you have one, you won’t ever want to be without it.
