When fitting
the gate brackets to a wooden gate, we recommend that you insert
stainless steel tubing (just large enough to sleeve the mounting
bolt threads, and 1mm shorter than the thickness of the wood)
through the gate mounting holes. This will prevent
over-tightening of the mounting bolts, and also avoid the
repetitive push-pull on the mounting bolts from damaging the
wood.
Only a single gate? Not sure if you need a right-hand kit
or left-hand kit? The motor is usually mounted on the inside
of the property for security; so view the gates from inside the
property looking outwards (the gates will normally, but not always,
swing toward you). If the hinge appears on the left, you need a
left-hand kit; if it's on the right you need a right-hand kit.
Options include: underground exit loop (detects the presence of a guest’s vehicle and automatically opens the gates for them); extra photocells; additional key fobs; intercom kit; long range (external) aerial; flashing beacon.
