GATEXPERT Motorized Sliding Gate System for Easy Access Control

Surfing: This is the 2nd time I purchased the Gatexpert kit. 1st one did it's job and lasted over 2 years. That was using it way more than recommended, probably 40+ times a day. The only part I had to replace in the 2 years was the sensors (must of got wet). The chain held up.
The instruction manual doesn't have all of the directions for installation, so you'll need to watch a couple of online videos (and some of those aren't detailed or narrated). Try to pre-assemble some of the parts prior to install, it'll make it easier when you're putting it on the gate. I used a cut power cord to temporarily plug in and program the remotes and keypad (instead of doing it at the gate like I did the 1st time).

The sensors are decent and don't have to be exact. Test the placement without the chain on prior to install.

Only program one button on each remote. If you exceed the max of 25, it'll automatically start to cancel out previously programmed remotes. I ended up ordering the accessory to add more remotes, which actually extended the range of the antenna.

Note: the gate doesn't automatically close if you manually stop it with the remote before it opens all the way. So remember...

Brian MansourBrian Mansour: I'm giving this 5 stars only because it does work, BUT it is a very lightweight unit! I almost returned it when I opened the box cause it was so small! It needs a very strong base built from concrete like shown in pics, if u dont have the ability to do this step do NOT buy cause it will pull out of the ground! Price was low for what it is compared to others out there so I figured I would try it. The instructions are very Vague! U just have to figure things out as u go. I probably will NOT buy this again but it does work so far! I waited to do this review after it was installed and working for a few days. This is a very time consuming process

Gary: *update as of 9/18/22*
Still going strong with ZERO issues!
The other gate on our property was installed with a mighty mule slide gate opener, and it has had many, many issues.

Original review:
Our 20 year old opener died, so I was in the market to replace it. I couldn't see spending $1200 for a similar (though with a few more features) model when I could get this one for $200. I have a 600 lb. 18 ft. gate running on a v-track. I emailed the seller with a few questions regarding the ability of this opener to interface with some of our current accessories as well as a specific new keypad/camera/mobile app device. They were very responsive, but I don't think they understood my questions, even with my including the schematics/manuals for the products I was wanting to connect. They told me none would work. Once they sent me the manual, and I was able to see the schematics, it was pretty clear to me that any device that uses a relay to actuate a normally open switch will work with this opener. Opener is TINY compared to my old unit! Install is very straightforward. Already had the concrete pad, so a hammer drill and concrete anchors made short work of the physical...

mikeatnight: Packaging was excellent. You receive more then enough hardware to do the job on any type fence that I can see. Installation was fairly easy for me, but instructions could use some work. If you have installed a gate opener before then it will go off without a hinge. Trouble tree could be better written. All in all, great machine for the money. Its been working for a month or so now in the rain, cold (down to 29) and fog. Summer heat will probably be the real test. Stay tuned.

B V: Purchased this to replace an older Aleko gate opener, which outlasted our expectations (6+ years). Let's face it, a name brand US model runs thousands, so the expectations for a $200 - $300 opener are pretty low. Nonetheless, if we can get anywhere near the life span out of this like we did the Chinese Aleko model, we'll be stoked!!! This is much quieter, and physically smaller in size, than the old ?DSC1000? model we had. Everything you need is basically included. The predrilled hole in the unit for the electrical connection was too small for our application, so it had to get reamed out about 1/16", which was a pain to do using metal burr bits. Also had to drill a hole and install a grommet to accommodate the electrical wiring for the path sensors. One bummer about this opener is it does not have a force sensor. The old one would automatically reverse if it felt an obstruction.. not the case with this one. Knew it going in, so still quite satisfied for the low amount we paid to get our gate back up and running!!!
