Easily Mounting Doorking Gate Operators

By Marci Glover


These operators are devices that enables you to access gates just by using a keypad or an intercom. They are very much alike to garage door openers. Therefore if you wish to install one then you should know that it is similar to installing a garage door. There are various gate operators including the Doorking gate operators which unlike others, is designed to control vehicular swing gates in commercial and residential places. However, before starting the installation process you first need to contact your local utility company to confirm that there are no underground lines where you will be digging. You also need to ensure that you have the correct tools and materials for the job.

But before you consider installing your operator, you first have to ensure that there are none underground lines existing at the place where you are going to do your digging. You can find out this by contacting local utility companies. Secondly, you need to get the right tools and the materials for the installation process.

If you have all that is required, then you are ready for the job. First, you need to find the correct place for the control box. You might just want to drill some holes where the control box will be placed on your fence, then connect the arm to the control box. This will entirely depend on the style of your fence.

When you have all these, then you are set to get it installed. To begin with, you need to identify a spot for your control box because of the holes you will drill through your fence purposes of attaching it. The arm should then be attached to the control box, which is dependent on the style of your fence.

This is however different and much easier in some installation processes. For instance, like that for the operators which is uniquely designed in such a way that its arm is attached to the bottom rail.

Connect the wires to the control box of course with the power switch still off. You should then connect the sensor to the fence so as to make it free and clear from any impending damages. The wires from the sensor should be clipped alongside so that they do not become loose.

With the power still off, the wires can be joined to the control box. To avoid any potential damage from happening, the sensor should be connected to the fence. Loose wires from the sensor should not be tolerated and therefore they must be stapled alongside. The installation process is now complete and all you need to do is test the work you have done. If the installation process was done to perfection then the gate will operate smoothly.

It is therefore not necessary to hire someone to do the job for you when you can get it done on your own. Just by following the above steps, you will be able to install your gate operator in the right way.
