Access to gates is now made easy by using an intercom or a keypad that comes with the various operating devices. Not very different from garage door openers, in fact their installation processes are rather similar. The Doorking gate operators unlike other operators is designed to operate vehicular swing gates and is commonly used in residential or commercial settings.
Just like any other job, installing gate operators requires you to have certain tools that will help you facilitate the job smoothly. These are some of the items that are needed when it comes to installing these operators; staple gun, PVC pipe, shovel, power drill, a flat-head screwdriver, an electric wire for outdoor use and to finish it off some extra time. During such a process there is a high chance of things getting a little dirty which is why you need to dress in the correct attire or around the house clothes in case you do not have the attire.
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.
However, the case is different for the doorking swing operators because of their unique design that allows the arm to be attached to the gates bottom rail, thus creates an easy installation. For reference purposes it would be great to remove the installation manual that came with the operator.
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.
