What to look for when selecting a gate opener. The goal is to have a reliable unit with smooth start / stop operation. For that you should look for a unit with commercial grade, gear-driven transmission. Ideally the gate opener should have a minimal footprint yet provide superior performance for any gate weight or frequency. Because it sits outside in the elements the opener should be made of high grade, quality materials. You should also have a battery backup that will provide you access even when the power is down. Adding solar panels is an option to run your gate when accessing power is an issue. LiftMaster gate openers can be equipped with an internet gateway which allows you to control your gate opener from anywhere with your smartphone through the myQ® app. The app will allow you to receive real time notifications when your gate is opened or closed to your smartphone. For safety and security your remote should have an encrypted signal. By code your gate needs to be equipped with safety sensors and entrapment devices that stop the gate from closing on obstructions. Also when detecting an obstruction the gate reverses with the inherent reversing sensor. As another precaution you should understand how to operate the manual disconnect that allows the gate to be opened manually. For years of trouble free service you should select a company that has extensive experience with the electronics and installation of access gates. Like any mechanized device you should have a maintenance plan to keep your gate in top working condition. EDL / Gate Masters is a third generation family run business in operation since 1964.
