You'll be able to control who comes in and out your property.
Adding a driveway gate gives you control of who comes onto your property and who leaves (think kids trying to sneak out). It's worth noting that it's even possible to install a camera on your gate so you have 24/7 access to whose coming in and coming out. Having this log is huge for the security of your home.
Protect the things and people you love.
It can be hard to remember that your home is not just a place to eat, sleep, and watch Netflix. It's also a place where people can get hurt—and it's your job to make sure that doesn't happen. Having a driveway gate installed on your property will allow you to completely secure the perimeter of your home. Having a completely enclosed property will ensure your dogs don't get out or heaven forbid children.
Thieves hate driveway gates.
Why? Because they're inconvenient. And criminals don't like to have to work for their loot. So if you have a driveway gate, you can rest assured that your home is more secure than most.
What's more, crime statistically drops in the winter months—and that's no coincidence. Criminals literally just don't do well with inconvenience, and what better way to deter theft than by securing your home with a driveway gate?
