Couple of questions on electric gates...

Ours can be unlocked from either side.

Uggers, you're absolutely right...
But when you re on the other side....and can't access the motors...
Agree on installation...

Uggers said:

If you need to manually open the gates don't you just use the simple supplied key that disengages the motors from the drivescrew and you can open them just like conventional gates?

I'm not sure how everyone has problems, a lot sound like poor installation/inadequate hardware for the job you want them to do.

Finally ordered my gate motor. I'll probably just give our postie the code as I don't want the faff of walking down the driveway to even see if we have any post. Couriers will have to ring the bell.

Sounds like a plan.

our gate has a sim card, if it recognises the phone ringing it the gates open, easy to open as yu drive up also you can remotely open for deliveries. Also has a code pad and key lock

That sounds great!
