I love watching videos like this for several reasons. 1. Show me how to do it without a bunch of needless jibber jabber. 2. Use a tripod and get camera close enough to work to see what is going on, without having to watch a bunch of camera motion, leaving a person with a headache or nausia. 3. Good video editing with easy to listen to music. 4. Watch someone who obviously has years of experience in a lot of things and cares about doing things proper, giving him the right to show others how to do a job in a professional manner. Thanks for the professional video. It was a pleasure to watch.

Great video! Being that you did not use the rubber stopper, did you just install the openers so they are fully extended while closed? It sounds like you had to do some adjusting to get them lined up exactly right. I'm installing the exact same kit, so this video is excellent. I'm just trying to figure out if I can install the openers fully extended (knowing I may need to tweak it a little) without having to install the rubber stopper.

The steel frame is very strong and the motor arms a screw driven and seem very strong. I put a latch and padlock on the inside for when we would leave for long periods.

@chriscraft770226 жыл бұрын
they are screw driven cylinders, so yes the gate is locked 100% when closed.. you would have to use force enough to bend all the brackets or either break the screws... if the mechanism fails to open all you can do is unscrew the arms from the inner fence (smaller brackets) and manually open the gate the old fashioned way
