We have a 5 bar gate that's the main entry to our drive, its always open and with the two children now running to the car, i would like to put some kind of automation on it so it remains closed unless we open it.
You know the idea when inside the drive it opens automatically, but from outside you need to phone it or enter a code.
Anyone got and ideas? I take its DIY, does not look too hard, motor and arm...

thx

Have a look at BPT and CAME for actuator arms.

Can be quite simple to set up, you just need to sort out the latching or holding shut process
