This 8 minute video depicts a loop installation using Cut-In Loops. These loops, also known as Saw Cut Loops are typically installed within a slot sawed into the existing surface.
This 2 minute video gives an overview of a loop installation using Preformed Direct Burial Loops. These loops, also known as Pave Over Loops are typically used with new construction and are placed below the surface prior to the application of asphalt, tar, concrete or pavers.
Complete DIY Driveway Gate Installation Video This 13 minute video depicts a complete installation of our DuraGate Swing Driveway Gate with a Linear Arm Gate Operator. Our DuraGate line of driveway gates require NO WELDING and bolt together with common tools.
Gate Operators are the devices which physically move the gate(s) and are typically powered by either 110/220 Volts AC or 12/24 Volts DC suitable for residential applications. For commercial installations, there are several operators which can be powered using higher AC voltages such as 460VAC & 575VAC.
DC Gate Operators use batteries to either power the gate or as back-up power when main AC power fails. Batteries can be charged by solar photo voltaic cells (PV) or using AC power supplied by a transformer.
Swing Arm Operators generally have a feature called "Soft Stop" which slows the movement at the opening and closing cycles. Many Ram Arm Operators have engineered their units to emulate this desired feature
There are many types of Gate Operators, also referred to as Gate Openers, and selecting the correct model to automate your driveway gate is essential. The gate size, weight, location and desired aesthic quality will determine which type of Gate Operator is suitable for you installation.
