Automatic gate openers...need recomendations
Automatic gate openers...need recomendations I have dual opening wrought iron gates and want to buy an automatic gate opener.
I need it to have:
1. a decent price
2. electronically adjustable stops...where it stops when it opens/closes.
3. good for a 16' wide total gate width.
4. I believe each gate weighs less than 100 lbs.
thanks.

thanks.
thanks.
Looks like the GTO ones should be able to do what you want. http://www.oldhouseweb.com/stories/Detailed/12986.shtml

Can't help you with what actual opener to get, however, I can refer you to Patina Metals and speak with some friends of mine up there.
I don't have the number on me at the moment, but if you look them up they are located off Clay Rd. and Blalock.

Battery Backup My boss has a battery backup on his - not sure what brand the opener itself is. I'll find out for you. His theory on the battery is that if the power is going out, it's going on a crappy day, which is just the kind of day you DON'T want to be getting out to open it by hand.....so he stuck in the backup.
I'll find out tomorrow (if I remember) what he uses. Oh, and for reference, he doesn't buy anything cheap - if he uses it, I'd put money down it ain't gonna be junk.

Talked to my boss - he thinks his opener is by a company called "titan". He's not positive on that. However, he is positive on where he got it - a company called Griffin (off Brittmore he said). Griffin has been in the wrought iron fence business for a good length of time - good company to work with according to him.
Hope this helps.
