CO-Z1400lb Sliding Gate Opener Hardware Security System Kit for Sliding Gates Up to 40 Feet, Automatic Gate Opener with Two Remote Controls, Electric Rolling Driveway Slide Gate Motor - Model CG1400

Not a compensated comment. Overall you can't beat the quality of this product so far, it is hard to say how long the motor will last, but hopefully you can get replacement parts and that would be a plus! Very clean installation and with some modifications it has met my expectations. First of all it comes with basically everything you will need to get it going. The anchors would be a nice addition, I used 3/8 in and is very solid, make sure you start with a good foundation. On my install I timed it with the concrete pour for the gate so is one big slab of concrete and it is solid. My electrical box is on the opposite side of the driveway so I used the gate track and ran the thermostat cable under it, perfect for my needs. The gate was built at exactly 20 ft so no chain modification was required. Since the gate has a lot of metal at the bottom I had to extend the antenna, now it goes all the way up the pole and I can operate the gate at a much farther distance. Looking into adding WIFI module any recommendations would be appreciated. The bolts were a little too long for my gate and should be design with security in mind, maybe allen type or tork head, but nothing a cutting disk can't manage and in my case they are not exposed to the outside where they can be tampered with. The chain tension brackets could use an up and down side to side adjustment sort of like a cross type to be able to offer better adjustment capability to the chain. In my case they worked out just fine. The L bracket could be shorter where the chain bolts down to, just in case the gate pole is too close and hits it, in my case it was perfect and barely miss the poles. The instructions could be better, seems like this is a big issue with some owners. The remotes. I don't like to be looking for a remote while I'm driving to open a gate. I went ahead an installed a visor clip, most will do just make sure the screws you use are not too long that can damage the electronics inside the remote. The wireless keypad works great and should be part of the opener's package, maybe a compatible sensor also. I tried installing a sensor but had no luck, (wired according to 2 videos I watched on U2B) but instead of retracting or stopping the gate when the beam was broken (could hear the relay and the light change from yellow to red) the gate just kept going so I removed it and return it, I will try again since I believe the problem was with the sensor. I would recommend this product at this time. I'm hoping to get many years of trouble free performance, only time will tell. Last but not least, don't forget to lube the chain every so often. Update July 14, 2021, since there is a sidewalk by the gate I installed a strobe light, comes on and off when the gate closes or opens, great visual indications the gate is moving. Will try a WIFI smart switch shortly to see if I can voice open and close. Just need to find a compatible remote for the WIFI switch to simulate the button press to open and close and install a wired magnetic sensor for status checks, or figure out which terminals to hook up the switch to the board if possible, but there is not much information out there for this and the schematic in the manual that came with the opener is not for the model I actually got. Basically the same thing I did for the garage opener and it works like a charm. I like the idea of Alexa opening or closing the gate as I depart or arrive to the house. This would complete this project! UPDATE, 16th July 2021, finally got the voice open/close going, works like a charm with status command. I have to say I'm impressed with this opener. I can open the Alexa app coming back to the house and open the front gate using voice commands with security passcode, the gate is 20 ft long so it takes a while for it to open, I wish the opener had 2 speeds a slow/fast but it doesn't so this way I can have it open by the time I arrive at the house and don't have to stop traffic waiting on it to open. I can also open the garage door the same way. UPDATE: October 2021, Customer support has been excellent! The seller got your back!

Im very pleased with this product. I was looking for a replacement a gate open but they are so expensive. My brother installed two of this on his property, so i bought it.. The price was very reasonable and actually easy to install. Best of all it works great. So far it seems pretty durable.

The product works very well. The price is fair. The installation is pretty straight forward. One tool that is important to have handy is a chain breaker, because chances are that you need to cut and attach two pieces of the chain to make it right for your sliding door width. It comes with two pre-programed remote control. I haven't found the way to program the 3 other buttons with another motor, so I dont have to carry one remote control for each door. Other than that, Im happy with the product.

I was very pleased with this product. I have always wanted a gate open but they are so expensive. Then I watched some YouTube on this gate opener. The price was very reasonable and actually easy to install. Best of all it works great. I haven’t been able to get the auto open sensors to work but other than that it’s fantastic.Hint: if gate opening is more then about 18’ order an additional length of chain.If in doubt get this. It does work. Great option. Now I’m mad I didn’t get one sooner.

First Impression:Whoa... will this work it's Tiny!and it will because- It's a 1/2 HP DC motor which is equivalent to a 1 HP AC motor and powerful enough for it to pull my gate.- Gate Weight limit when I purchased was listed as 1400 lb currently it mentions 1100 lb, mine falls at or below 1400 lb or so.What is included and what is not:It includes mounting hardware, screws brackets, and mounting steel frame. A fair amount of chain. Some not-so-good tools. We got 2 key chain Remote openers in the boxWhat you may need to get:Safety Sensor: It did not include the safety sensor when I bought it so I bought that. Like your garage door if something is in the path it will stop closing and open back up. Do not, repeat Do Not power the gate up without this sensor, Period. Unless you want things getting crushed, you get the idea.Safety sensor wiring and technical writing in the manual did not make sense I ended up calling the tech support line of the safety sensor and got the correct instruction on wiring.Chain:I also had to get some extra chains, my gate's length is a little less than 34~36 feet.Chain mending tool: Get one to make it easier for yourself.Mounting Bolts that go in the concrete Block:Take the Mounting Bracket with you and get these 4 Concrete Anchor Bolts from box stores in the hardware section.Yes, please use Re-Bars in that concrete block. You'll notice my assembly is a little bit different where it's higher than usual assembly since I've a retaining wall in that area that became my mounting block instead.**Important Note:Before pouring concrete tie those anchor bolts and do this step that will save some elbow grease later. While pouring the concrete use the mounting bracket with those bolts so that those bolts don't move away and later on don't line up with the mounting brackets.I did not do this and later on, I had to spend a good amount of time to get the steel mounting bracket on those bolts. Now that I think of it could I've eliminated that steel mounting bracket, I wonder. So if anyone has done it without that please post your comment.Keypad Opener:We bought 2 one inside the gate and another one outside the gate. Also, we got extra keychain opener to put one in each car. Remember to program all of these with the opener’s circuit board, you’ll find the instruction in the manual.Power to the mounting Block, wire, conduit, and breaker:I ran metal conduit/pipe to the mounting area into the ground and used direct bury cable in the ground then up again in the metal pipe into my garage wall then attic, and down into the breaker box with a dedicated 15 Amp breaker. I installed a box at the mounting area to include a GFCI outlet for later. If you’re not savvy with this type of work please hire an electrician for this work.Tools: If you have a rachet set and screwdrivers that will do with what’s supplied in the box.Installation:Mounting the motor assembly was okay. Then we actually welded the end brackets that will hold the chain. I think that would be sturdier than mounting that with bolts. When came time to install the magnet sensors that’s where we spent a lot of time figuring out the height and how close it needs to be to the motor. You will need another person for sure with this part.Maintenance:Check the nuts and bolts say each quarter. I installed this in January 2020 and this Labor Day (2022) the Magnet signal receiving block or the function in the motor unit stopped working. While checking on that I found out 2 nuts totally came off and some needed tightening.Since the magnet stop function was not working my gate got derailed. I put it back and while trying to figure out what was wrong it derailed again. Let’s just say it’s a bit of work to put it back on the rail.So here is another important tip I’ll add as a note below.Important Note:While building the rail for the gate, add 2 to 3 feet of extra at the opening side. In case the motor malfunctions and goes out more than it’s supposed to it won’t get derailed and the chain will stop it. If you have it to the mark and if it goes that extra foot and a half it will surely derail. So please put the extra couple of feet of rail to save agony later on.After Sale Service: In my humble opinion, this is what matters for a good product and the company stands behind it.Customer/Technical Support:February 2020:During installation, a simple electrical connector went bad and I was made to get a replacement unit then customer service finally responded and sent me that connector, and I sent the new-new unit back.September 2022:This time it is out of its 1 year warranty period and the magnet unit is not responding where the gate does not stop. I’ve sent an E-mail via Amazon and no response; I just sent another E-mail directly to its support E-mail and waiting to see what kind of support or direction I get.

I don't have access to my android phone to upload video or photos. The instructions are HORRIBLE! I figured it out with YouTube videos. I spent about two days trying to figure it out but got it. It works really well for my iron gate of 14 ft x 5 ft H, weights about 600 to 800 pounds. Got to ACE hardware for chain link! The chain link that comes with unit is to leak, chain kept falling off!

This little unit worked great . It was easy to set up after I got the modifications to my gate done .
