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.

Well - I was getting concerned, but so far all is well!! First - I probably should have waited until I was closer to ready to install before purchasing - but that is on me! By the time I was actually ready to bolt this to concrete - my Amazon return window had passed, I was concerned - but I did put power to it and knew at least the motor turns the gears! THEN, I went to a local supply store that sells a good majority of the gates and gate openers in our rural area. I was there for some screws, but thought I would look at their openers - THEN, I was really concerned! There was not an opener in the store that would fit in the back seat of a car! They were all huge! This Co-Z opener looked like a toy in comparison! Perhaps one of these openers had a baby, that was premature, and that is what I got!! Seriously though, at that point - I was VERY concerned about this tiny little gatre opener that I was in the process of building my concrete box for - the openers that were at this store were at least 2x as big as my concrete pad! BUT, I am already past my return period so I carry on. To make a long story a bit shorter - most of the problems that I had with installation were my own fault! I had never installed a gate opener before so I was pretty clueless. The worst part, for me - was because I didn't know better - and had other projects going, so I paid someone to do the condrete pad AND they did it wrong! They placed the mounting holes 12 inches from the gate!! Once I dealt with that issue & paid for some half inch steel plates, and new mounting bolts in the right places - the installation was prettty straight forward. I was stalled be several days because I didn't have a chain breaker that was big enough! But once Amazon brought my chain breaker, in the rain, I was able to finish the install and see if it works. IT DID! I was actually pleasantly surprised that there were NOT a lot of settings that needed changed or adjusted. Right out of the box - it worked. The instructions were better than most - all the information I have needed was in the manual and in readable English.I usually don't like to leave reviews until I have had an item, and been using it for several weeks, but I will update this review ONLY IF something changes. With the installation I would suggest reading the manual a time or to to get familarized with how everything is supposed to go. Especially understand the instructions for the concrete mounting box. Second, take your time - every install is a bit different and no manual can cover everything. YOUR mounting of the sensors will differ depending on the type of gate you have. You might have to be a bit creative, but it is simply mounting a bracket at the needed location (I used wood blocks on my wire mesh gate to mount the magnets). Second, with the entire install, keep in mind that EVERYTHING that you are adding to your gate needs to be afixed SECURLY and that your gate works freely by hand AND it is plumb and level. If you don't start with a solid gate - the opener is not going to improve any of those issues. If your chain brackets are not secure & in proper alignment, your gate opener is not going to work right. Finally, the chain should be tight. The opener may still work with a saging chain, but it will work much smoother if it is not.So, after I got everything the way it should be - I am very pleased with our tiny baby gate opener! I have only had it working for 2 days, but so far it has opened and closed exactly as it is supposed to. One of my initial concerrns was how noisy it would be. I am happy to report that concern was also completely unwarranted. No loud clunking going on here! So far - I am very pleased. I have not attempted to contact Co-Z for techinal support or any other reason. I just ordered two more remotes - programming instructions are in the manual. The manual says you can program up to FORTY remotes!My only disappointment - I thought I would be able to use the remote buttons inside our vehicle, you cannot. For some reason, I also thought there was an App that one could use, there is not. Ehhh the remotes are cheap, I just bought more remotes!

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!

I bought this 2018 and still working. I have a 12 feet custom gate made from 2inch OD pipes and wood which is very heavy and had no problems with the opener. 2 years past and still no sign of any issues or weakness in power. Motor is very strong. Some vibration sounds when it runs but was only coming from the cover which can be minimized easily. I only opened it again because i bought extra key fobs and set it with the machine very easily and no problems. I do not work in trade and have no experience with the install but was able to put it up by myself (excluding electrical work). I read the manual repeatedly to understand how to install it properly. It even has instructions to add other optional features. Im looking to get an IR gate sensor for additional safety features. Im very satisfied with this mean machine.
