Our client in the Philippines is now enjoying a smoothly operating sliding gate using DuraGates hardware. Despite a tight installation space, the DuraGates system handled it effortlessly, thanks to its shorter counterbalance length compared to most sliding or rolling gate hardware. The smallest steel model, CGS-250.8M, was used, remaining nearly invisible and giving the gate a clean, aesthetically pleasing appearance.Here is what our client, Mike, had to say about the project:"It has been a while since I ordered the gate hardware that you recommended. I just wanted to take a minute give you an update. Here in the Philippines no such hardware is available and your website made a compelling argument for 'thinking outside the box'. Your product sounded like a perfect solution to my problem. Our street is too narrow for a swinging gate to open out and with a car in the carport there was no room to open in. The hardware arrived and was installed by local workers who obviously were not familiar with the process.I am pleased to report that the finished product is PERFECT, thanks! We have thought about getting the gate motorized, but even my 9 year old niece can open and close it by hand with no difficulty.
