Operator Types
Swing Gate Arms
An arm or linear actuator on each leaf pushes the gate open. Common on double swing gates.
Slide Gate Operators
A motor on a pad drives a chain or gear rack along the gate. Used on cantilever and track slide gates.
Underground Operators
Hidden below the hinge for a cleaner look. Less common and harder to service in wet ground.
Safety Comes First
Automatic gates are heavy and can injure people and pets. Operators should be listed to UL 325, and gates built to ASTM F2200.
Photo Eyes
Infrared beams across the opening stop or reverse the gate if something is in the way.
Edge Sensors
Pressure-sensitive edges on the gate stop it on contact.
Pinch Points
Gaps between the gate and the post or wall need to be guarded. A good installer checks each one.
Power and Access Options
Solar
Solar operators are common in Lee County where running power to the gate is expensive. Panel placement and battery size matter, especially under shade.
Hard-Wired
Steady power for heavy gates and frequent use. Running a new circuit to the gate is electrician work, and the crew will say when it is needed.
Access Controls
Remotes, keypads, phone apps, intercoms and vehicle loops for automatic exit.
Gate Operator Repair
Most opener calls are a dead motor, a failed control board, a weak battery or sensors knocked out of line. Tell us the brand if you know it and whether the gate moves at all, so the right tech is matched to the job.
