Has anyone had any experience with these or can recommend a particular make/brand/model?
We already have the wiring out to our gate so it would simply be a matter of purchasing and installing one - I good idea I think so when it's raining or there are screaming kids in the car no need to get out.
We have the sort of gate that's on rollers (opens by sliding sideways) so I assume it would have to be one of those chain-driven jobies.
Anyways, any info or advce would be appreciated.
I enquired about this when I first bought my house...there's a place near me that does it but that won't be much good to you Ant...about 35k to install...couldn't justify the expense for the odd time that my wife has to use an umbrella to open the gate!..
I have seen them as low as 15k baht but with plastic racks which are not as good as metal racks.
I have not seen chain drive set-ups, only racks
Here are two for you :

The second one is in ChiangMai
Got to remember though when your outside and you get a powercut, your stuck outside till either you climb over or the power comes back on.
Sell Sliding Gate Opener (Hangzhou CDS Enterprises Ltd.,China)
Axial driver garage door opener motor (Zhangzhou Kylin Electronic Co.,Ltd.,China)
some of the above links might help all out of china
some units have manual over rides for power failures
If you have small kids, the automatic opener itself may pose a hazard. Kids just love to play around with these sort of things, which is one reason we decided against having one installed.
Guys hi,
Excellent, thanks to you all for the tips/pointers. Have to admit that power outtage wasn't something I had considered.
Yeah I thought they wouldn't be cheap - with two kids on the way very handy though I think. Plus I guess it kinda adds value to the houseQuote:

The geinuses in my neighborhood would end up using it to crack coconuts or attach a spinning blade to make a giant table saw.
I'd forgotten about this thread... did go and look at a few as well, seemed to be in the 25-30k neighbourhood.

L&H dont use any crap to build their houses it seems so maybe they are decent quality.
In fact in this website you can see that they are using FAAC equipment if you look closley at the gate opener section of this page that Thetters linked to.....

Cheers spin... like the look of that retractable awning as well. Been thinking about getting something like that for my outside bar
Why not let the maid open the gate?
Bought a house that had one installed.
Wife disconnected it within a month, as she was frequently stuck the wrong side of it, without the clicker to open it!
That was my wife's solution!Quote:
