DIY gate opener installation. My wife says, guys who can "fix things" are hot. Now, I fix everything 

Thank you for this video 💜 It made me realize I’ll never be attempting this in my wildest dreams but I loved the journey 😂

One of the best install videos I have ever seen on YT. Straight to the point with tons of detail. Great job

Ahhh seeing that chevy role out of those automatic gates melted my heart

I love watching videos like this for several reasons. 1. Show me how to do it without a bunch of needless jibber jabber. 2. Use a tripod and get camera close enough to work to see what is going on, without having to watch a bunch of camera motion, leaving a person with a headache or nausia. 3. Good video editing with easy to listen to music. 4. Watch someone who obviously has years of experience in a lot of things and cares about doing things proper, giving him the right to show others how to do a job in a professional manner. Thanks for the professional video. It was a pleasure to watch.

Very clean work, Mr Eric. Keep the wifehappy!

Awesome DIY! Wonderful good info and a job well done!!! Thank you!

Excellent video, it certainly helped me see i could do my own gates with the equipment, thanks.

This is THE BEST DIY video I have ever seen. (and I have watched A LOT!!) from everything in a house to lots on sports cars like Porsches and BMW's to trucks and motorcycles. DUDE!!! You are not only GREAT at DIY, your video production is superb (and I am a DIY guy who has produced and acted in many films). I totally understand the 765 thumbs up that I currently see on this vid, but I am BEWILDERED by the 108 thumbs down. I'd like to see those people do better. (IMHO it's not possible) SUPERB!!! Thank you for the insight!!!

Great video really liked the attention to detail that you gave this job very well-thought-out

Best step by step awesome simple and not complicated thanks

that is exactly what i need.. my gate space is the same as yours.. i hope it is not too expensive for me.... its under $500 ... you earned a sub.. this is a good video too.. thanks for not talking to the camera for 30 minutes..

Thanks for teching us the step by step.

complimenti , hai fatto tutto il lavoro da solo . Bravo

Nicely done. Looks great

Great video, very helpful.

nicely installed Eric.

This guy is awesome. Look at that gate. I bet he welded that steel gate together. Oh man, come to my house.

Great vid! I'm building a front fence with gates on my channel and had the urika moment of automating the gates!! Great stuff!!! This will be considered in the budget😅👍

Inspiring work. Thanks.

Well done video. Thank you sir

Great video. Ty for posting.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Clean clever install video'd and edited to the same standard - for me, tonight, sir you win youtube :)

Nice clean job… inspiring

great video. slick set up.

Damn good job there bro.putting your conduit in early... now thats uesin your head for more then a hat rack

Really nice work,and video : )

I love your drill bit with the hole in it like an eye of a needle! Did you make that or buy it

Very good job and nice video :) Thank you

My favorite part of this for the final Grand Finale the best part how much something like this cost

nice video great quality, we are going to have to steel some video ideas! Throw a couple safety devices on there and you are good to go! THUMBS UP HERE!

Great job brotha

excelente video..!

Very solid

Nice video, good job

Great Video. Great 👍 JOB.

Good job man...

nice video

good job !

I hope your wife appreciated it. I mean really appreciated it

how has the system held up? i just bought mine (the 400mm, they dont sell the 300mm anymore) and im about to do a video on the install........ i had no idea how to run the conduit box on the far side.... thanks again for this video

Hey Eric what size tube did you use on your gate project? Looks like 4x4 post and 3x3 on the gate.

Great job!!!!

The closing position mechanical stopper is definitely mandatori for long-term operation of the mechanism

You're a genius my friend. Thanks for the detailed information. I bought one, different brand, but the instructions are crap...no instructions whatsoever as to mounting properly. Thanks so much. I do have a question. I want one side of my gate to open more than 90 degrees, almost 120. How do I adjust it to mount it?

Great video! Being that you did not use the rubber stopper, did you just install the openers so they are fully extended while closed? It sounds like you had to do some adjusting to get them lined up exactly right. I'm installing the exact same kit, so this video is excellent. I'm just trying to figure out if I can install the openers fully extended (knowing I may need to tweak it a little) without having to install the rubber stopper.

Nice video...You're a pretty sharp cookie

Awesome

nice job....

Perfect 🤩

I like the Joy Division-esque music.

Nice!!!

Hey amigo, really helpful video I m trying to do the same job, my gate is just solid metal it opens by swing mode, probably about 400 pounds, in California sometimes we have really windy days, do you think the wind one day will just break the swing attachments?

Good job I learned a lot, thanks! I have a question: what happens when there is a power outage? Is it what the battery is for? Assume that battery is also off, is there a way to open the gate then?

If I may ask, can you tell me what wire did you use and how did you connect the "doorbell" gate opener from the outside?

Where did you buy the steel frame with hinges?

Nice job. What is it that causes the motors to stop when they are opening and closing, are they set to open 90 degrees or do you have to calibrate? Was thinking of trying to install something like this myself.

Thank you for your very informative video.. How strongly it keeps the doors open or closed? Can someone manually push close it once opened I want strong opening.. Which can not be closed without electricity.

The bars open and close the gate, but in the closed position can the gate be forced to open? Is it locked in the closed position or what amount of force without destroying the gate would open it?

Good

Does homelink or universal remote work on it?

เยี่ยมยอด very good

Hi, great video I have the same kind of opening but I'm having a problem recently. The gate stays open for less then a sec. It used to be open for at least 5 sec, and I don't know how now it just won't! I hope you know what's going on!

Awesome job, very professional. How are the openers doing now that it’s been a while?

Love the title haha

Ok, so for some reason I still think I could maybe do this one day, lol. You laid your conduit before your driveway was poured, what would I do if that's not an option? Can't really visualize how to get the wires to the box otherwise. Thanks for such a great video btw!

3 years later does the gate opener still working? Any updates would be awesome. Trying to sell me lift master I think is definitely reliable but I’m not ready to spend 5 grand for a opener. Heard mix review on mighty mule and ghost control.

Where did you get that gate ? If it's custom made any suggestions ?

Hmmmm. perfect.

Remember to put caulking around entire edges of box water will destroy it instantly in a storms.

By the way I just saw that this was posted about 2 years ago. How’s the motor doing ????????????

What is the make and model of the units and how have the held up?

Where did u get the metal bracing for your fence?

Hi. Very clean install btw. I'm thinking about doing the same thing. How much resistance could those two doors take before someone could force their way though? I want to have a little bit of security with my gates.

How wide is each gate? I have two small iron gates that are 4 ft wide and 6 ft tall each. I'm wondering if this can be done on my gates.

Very likely

Hi, great job first of all. I can never do this. Too much electrical work involved. At the end of the video it seemed to me that when the gates open, the gap between the gate and the post is wider towards the bottom than towards the top. Am I correct and is there a reason why?

I like it, too detailed, and easy to grab, pls where can i get the best kit and buy? Pls if you have any online retailer tag me, the one ready to shift to my country, Nigeria. Thank you.. i am your huge fan eric

👍👍👍😊

can anyone help me.. my control board of E8 Dual swing gate opener just got malfunction now.. The gate automatically open without touching the remote. Upon checking the main control board, i found 2 lizards walking around the main board. Will it be the cause of this malfunction? I already changed the code for remote transmitter and receiver to think that some of my neighbors has the same remote configuration. I also removed all power to the board for several hours to make it reset on itself. But still, no good.. Do I need to order a new board?

where did you buy that drill bit with a hole in it ?

What size is your gate? One day I’ll make one like this :) thanks for this video.

muy piola wuacho

no jibber jabber. ha ha. I dont mind that stuff I do it myself but nice video.

Can you please share the details about the product. Where to buy?

Would say the kill switch for the button opener should have been put through the wall Into the house, anyone could know how these work and work out to open the gates without the fob, great vid all the same

Hello, wonderful. Could you please let me/us know from where you get all this equipment (Controllers and actuator/12V). Is the actuator with locking system?

How much would the install cost if you hired someone?

Is there any other method to do without the using 12v battery

Just installed a GT Master SW300DC and I need to reprogram the controller. The gate only opens about 1/3 of the way and then closes. Any help would be very much appreciated.

It's been 4 years and this is your only video so I'm doubting you'll ever even see this. Still I'm wondering how the system has held up and what gauge tube steel is that fence frame made of.

I wish I could work this fast...

Would like to know where gate was purchased from 🙏

Cual es el costo en usdolar del kit, yo vivo en Guatemala Centro America

I've always been able to fix things. My wife can't keep her hands off me

I wish I could do this I love things like this but I don't think anyone would hire an 11 year old to setup a double swing gate

I have swing gates and there's power going to the control board but I have tried every combination of red, yellow, blue, and black to power the arms but no luck. Any advice?

Can this be used on gates that open out?

I have a problem with the radio receiver. Can you help me plz

Bought a house but only 1 door and no wires or pipes prepared for the other side, sad....
