Swing gates operate like a door and pivot like hinges, so they require sufficient room for the gate to swing. A slide gate moves sideways along the fence line and is often used where driveway space is limited or the grade is sloped. Both options provide secure access control when properly installed.

Yes. Commercial-grade gates can be used at homes when increased security or heavy-duty construction is desired. However, most residential properties do not require industrial materials. Commercial gates are built for frequent use and larger openings, while residential gates are typically lighter and designed for normal daily traffic.

Installation depends on the style and whether automation is included. For most residential swing or slide gates, the gate is installed after the posts are set and the concrete has cured. Heavier commercial systems often involve a multi-day process to ensure proper foundation strength, especially for operator-driven gates.
