How to choose my gate for my house ?
You want to fence your house and so you need advice to choose the gate that will best meet your expectations. Let our experts guide you
DIRICKX has many models that will meet your requirements according to your constraints : type of soil, aesthetics, budget etc…..

Materials used :
Steel or iron gates provide important durability over time. However, this material has the disadvantage of generating a significant weight. And it is also necessary to ensure the quality of its galvanised finish, so as to avoid any appearance of corrosion.
Aluminium gates offer an undeniable advantage as they are both solid and light but also stainless. On the other hand, aluminium gates are generally more expensive.

Type of opening :
Your gate is usually made up of a leaf and is usually opened on the property side (be aware that unless otherwise stipulated, it is forbidden to encroach on the highway). You can opt for a manual, motorised or motorisable version:
- Manual gate : It consists of a leaf with a handle. Most gates are offered in the manual version.
- Motorised gate : It consists of a leaf with the possibility to accommodate a system of motorisation. With the help of an intercom, you can remotely open the gate to your guests. The installation of a digicode with badge/remote control will be necessary.
- Motorisable gate : It is basically a manual version with the possibility of adding a motor. This is a good compromise for your budget : if it does not allow you to get a motor in the beginning, you can always add it later without having to change the model. It is therefore important to anticipate it when purchasing your gate.
- Manual gate : It consists of a leaf with a handle. Most gates are offered in the manual version.

Type of infill :
There are different types of infill :
- Mesh gate : To create a visual uniformity, you can ensure that the mesh is identical to the panels already in place. The mesh can be of different sizes : 100 x 50mm, 50 x 50mm, 50 x 30mm. The colours can be varied. Up to 200 RAL are available.
- Gate with privacy slats : To preserve the privacy of your garden, some gates as well as panels can have privacy slats added. Among our gates, here are the two models where this can be done, AXYLE® gate and the AXOR® gate.
- Other infills : Your gate can also contain other types of infills such as openwork, slatted, perforated, louvered or full with the ELIXIUM® aluminum model.
- Mesh gate : To create a visual uniformity, you can ensure that the mesh is identical to the panels already in place. The mesh can be of different sizes : 100 x 50mm, 50 x 50mm, 50 x 30mm. The colours can be varied. Up to 200 RAL are available.
