Great safety features
5 Stars
Great safety features
There are a good selection of gate openers on Amazon at this price point but what drew me towards the Topens CK700 was the stall feature that reverses the gate as soon as it senses an obstruction. Automatic gate openers can be dangerous so the more safety features the better. Setup was straight forward and this was my first ever gate opener installation. I have a newly installed Gatecrafters cantilever sliding gate frame where I added some decorative aluminum posts and cedar pickets. Total weight 350-400lbs and this opener pulls it with no issues.Installation:1) Motor bracket and anchors. - The motor bracket bolts together easily using the included hardware and some wrenches. Anchoring the bracket to the concrete is done with 4 expanding concrete anchors. Drilling the concrete can be done easily if you have a hammer drill and the appropriate drill bits. Mounting the motor onto the bracket is done with 4 bolts. What's strange is although the motor housing were slotted to allow in and out movement but the idler gears bracket does not allow the same movement. I think it was something the designers overlook. Keep in mind the gate should be 1" from the metal chain guard.2) Chain - 20' of chain and brackets for round and square gate frames are included. My gate is 16' end to end with a 2" square gate frame so the square frame hardware kit was perfect. The chain had to be shorten for my installation but that is the same as shortening a bike chain. Very easy3) Magnets- The magnets tell the motor when to stop. This is probably the hardest part of the installation as it includes some fabrication depending on your gate. I found the easiest way to do mines were to use the same type of square U bolt hardware that held the chain to attach a sheet of 3/8" aluminum with holes to mount the supplied magnet/magnet bracket. This allowed unlimited left-right movement. I slotted the bolt holes to allow up/down movement. And in/out movement was accounted for using the thickness of my aluminum bracket but can be adjusted with washers.4) Wiring- wiring is very straight forward. Just attach you 120V AC to the proper receptacle and you're done. I did at a Photoeye sensor and a Homelink receiver and they were both easy to set up with their supplied wiring diagram.After using the opener for about a week I am very happy with its performance. It's not too loud and works exactly as expected.
