Gate Openers

A variety of gate openers, with assorted features, are available to suit nearly every need. Your first consideration should be to determine how much power your gate opener needs. Swing and slide gates that weigh 500 pounds need a gate opener of at least half horsepower. Additional horsepower could be needed for heavier gates and gates that see more traffic.

Gate openers are available with a variety of features, including remote control activation, key pad access, and sensor access. These features provide additional security and also allow for ease of use.

Security features are important when selecting an appropriate gate opener for your home. Make sure that your opener has a sensor stop device that stops the gate if anything is in the way. A manual override should also be available in case of power failure. This feature is also required by many building codes.
