1. Purpose

While the main entrance door and gate acts as a barrier to grant you the best safety. Opening the door with the gate closed will allow light and air currents to stream into the living area, making the room brighter and cooler. The gates are usually made of metal like mild steel, wrought iron, etc. Identifying the purpose before buying the door or gate will narrow your options. If aesthetic appeal is your priority, then go for manual metal or wrought-iron gates, or beautiful laminate doors that look elegant.

2. Style

Consider the design of your home before you search for the different options of doors and gates available, keeping in mind that it will match your overall home decor as this ensures that the house and the door with the gate blend well with each other.
