INSTALLING AN ELECTRIC GATE OPENER - Just don't forget the SIGN!

Getting in and out of the cars multiple times a day gets old quick, especially in the rain! So we thought we would give a DIY kit a go that we bought online.

    People will always ignore the signs and stickers, a mag lock would be perfect, it'll hold the gate tight shut, it adds a little bit of security and I imagine the you can wire the lock into that same control panel

    How about a wee leccy current on the gate. If someone pushes the gate they get a wee jolt. They won't push it again in a hurry.😂

    Edit:. Add the optional latch to prevent delivery drivers etc forcing it open in the future. I installed a toppins double gate opener a few months ago. So far so good, few minor annoyances - the beam sensor works on both opening and closing even though it's pointless for opening. Also for the double gate at least I need to add a physical hard stop to stop the wind blowing gates Infront of the beam. ( Only standard 5 bar gates) Also the extension look for the far side gate was not anywhere near long enough. I replaced it with like for like guage wire a few meters longer, but there is enough voltage drop that the far side gate moves almost half the speed of the near side gate.

    Good to know. Will probably do double gates on the lower yard when we get around to it. The latch would work, I guess it links to another one of the buttons on fob?

    @@TheRestorationCouple latch is triggered automatically. Inside the control box there are pots to set a short delay between the latch opening, the first gate opening, then. The second gate opening. I guess you could use different buttons for each set of gates though. The latch isn't exactly high security, only need to remove a split pin to bypass it. Other company's make more secure ones if needed though. Whole kit is great value for money. I know people that have paid £5k - 7k for motorised gates.
