Protect Your Home with Secure Fences and Gates in Good Working Order

(ARA) - A fence is an investment most homeowners make only once or twice in their lives.  Fences provide protection, privacy and “curb appeal.” They can define property lines and enhance security, keeping children and pets in and unwelcome intruders out. A good fence, especially an isolation fence around a swimming pool, can also reduce homeowners’ liability.

Protect your investment and the security of your home, children and possessions through regular inspection and maintenance of all fencing, gates and gate hardware around your property.
Gates and gate hardware are the only moveable parts on a fence system, so they’re subject to the most wear and tear. Rust, along with gate misalignment caused by factors such as ground movement, high winds, and children swinging on the gate, are the most common problems which prevent latches from engaging properly. If the gate does not latch each time it’s closed, the entire fence is ineffective.

“In our research, we found that when homeowners consider their fencing needs, rusty metal gate hardware that no longer functions properly was their number one concern. Most homeowners are not aware that rust-free and adjustable gate hinges and latches like D&D’s products are available,” says D&D Technologies’ senior vice president Jim Paterson.
