Swing Gate Opener

The Model 6050 and 6100 openers are designed to operate vehicular swing gates in residential and commercial applications. These openers are designed so that they can be either pad or post mounted without any costly and time consuming field modifications.

You need to specify which mounting method when ordering. The unique design of these swing gate openers allows the gate arm to be attached to the bottom rail of the gate. This eliminates the need for any brackets to be welded to the face of the gate and creates an aesthetically pleasing installation. The 6100 can be equipped with a factory installed DC Convenience Open option which will automatically open the gate in the event of a power outage

The DoorKing swing gate actuator offers convenience and reliability in a compact design. The actuator mounts directly on your gate and pilaster, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for concrete pads. The elegant lines obtained by using extruded aluminum material provide a clean profile that will blend in with any gate design. But beauty is not just skin deep with the Doorking actuator. The powerful screw driven piston connects directly to the gate eliminating weak mechanical connections and it is fully enclosed to prevent dirt and other airborne corrosives from contaminating the screw threads. And there is no need to worry about hydraulic leaks, check valves or pumps. These actuators feature built in limit switches that precisely control the start / stop speed, and travel of your gate. The microprocessor based electronic control board provides many advanced features typically not found in openers in this class, and is available in a standard and deluxe housing. The deluxe housing provides three 120 VAC convenience outlets to power additional auxiliary device transformers (for telephone entry systems, for example). Both come standard with built-in battery back-up installed.

The 6300 series openers are designed to operate vehicular swing gates in residential, commercial and industrial applications. These openers are designed so that they can be either pad or post mounted without any costly and time consuming field modifications. You need to specify which mounting method when ordering. The unique design of these openers allows the gate arm to be attached to the bottom rail of the gate. This eliminates the need for any brackets to be welded to the face of the gate and creates an aesthetically pleasing installation. These openers can be equipped with a factory installed DC Convenience Open option which will automatically open the gate in the event of a power outage.

THE MODEL 6400 installs underground making it virtually invisible and satisfies the most sophisticated automation needs without being detrimental to the original gate design. Invisible and powerful, the motor/drive mechanism is constructed in die-cast aluminum with a special corrosion-proof treatment, and because the drive unit is gear driven, there is no need to worry about hydraulic leaks, check valves or pumps. The underground self-supporting foundation box is built from corrosion-proof steel and has a galvanized steel cover. A lockable manual release lever is designed so that it can be operated from inside or outside the gate. The 6400 features built in limit switches that precisely control the start / stop speed, and travel of your gate. The microprocessor based electronic control board provides many advanced features typically not found in openers in this class, and with a 24 volt DC operating voltage, the 6400 is ideal for residential applications.

Swing gate door openers are devices that can operate the opening and closing of a swing door. This mechanism is being readily used these days and there are countless manufacturers of swing gate door openers all over the world. There are basically three types of swing gate door operators, including the full energy, low energy and power assist varieties. The uses for these three main different types differ. For example full energy swing gate door openers can be used commercially outside shop doors etc.

There are various methods of triggering the opening of these devices, some of them are remote operated and controlled, some of them work by the mechanism of a push button, some of these swing gate door openers have sensors integrated onto them which can sense the presence of an individual and hence, open automatically. Full energy swing gate door openers, with additional sensors are mainly used for security purposes for extra security measures. These can also be operated using a remote control to manually control the allowance of people into the room or building. Whereas low energy swing door openers can be installed on places like public restroom doors, garages, offices, homes etc, these can also be used easily by disabled people.

When you wish to purchase a swing gate door opener, you need to keep a few things in mind regarding these devices. The automatic ones function on a certain time period and therefore are generally not suitable in homes and places with small children and handicapped people. Therefore, in case of homes, you can easily install a low energy swing gate door opener which is the safe choice. These swing gate door openers can be fixed onto any surface, usually have a long lasting battery, or if they are connected to the central electric supply you must keep in mind that in case of a power outage, the door will open and close normally. Hence these are not ideal in case of burglary. The most convenient type of swing gate door openers function either by the mechanism of a push button, whereby you can just ‘push and go’ or, some of them come with a remote control, so you can easily control the opening and closing of the door yourself.

Swing gate door openers, apart from being available in automatic and partial manual varieties, are also being made on the mechanism of hydraulic opening and closing. These are slightly more expensive than the former varieties but they function better.

Swing door openers are also available in concealed varieties. Once installed, these devices will be concealed in such a way that they will not be visible or they will be hidden from the eye. This is an additional feature for improved aesthetics.
