Excellent video - I will now take a closer look at the LA 500 because our gates are similar in size and weight vs the LA 400 is was looking at. The quality of your workmanship is fantastic. You have helped me with my new gate opener purchase.
Nicely done man. Found your video while searching for ideas for a secured automatic entry gate project a client wants done on his property that will potentially become an Airbnb
Thanks for the informative video and good explanation. Im looking to do a similar setup and can not find any reasonably priced professional installers in Arizona.
Can you go a little further into the magnetic lock? What brand? Where did you purchase? How did you get it to sync up with the opener remote? Etc. I really like that feature and with reading reviews on this particular model, it’s necessary because of how the wind can damage the opener
Great craft work , Do you have the video how you hook up mag lock to LA 500? Do you using the 24 V DC transformer or are you hook up with the LA 500 controller board ? Again " Great Great video"
Looks awesome! How many dudes did it take to help you mount that 500-600lb beast?! I’m a fan of the myQ app, it will tell you how long it’s been opened for. Looking forward to more vids :)
Hola pablo. Me gusto mucho el trabajo de su gate estoy haciendo algo bien parecido. Me puede dejar saber que tipo de cable uso para extender el cable del lock hasta el control? Gracias de ante mano
It's a good thing you put that mag-lock on there. That solid surface privacy gate has a huge wind load. It's just a big sail. In fact, if you contact Liftmaster Tech support, they will tell you never to use the LA500 on a solid surface gate like that. Even with the mag-lock, as the gate is opening or closing, the wind could catch it and destroy that actuator. None of the actuators of this type should ever be used on a privacy gate like this. There is one, but most not only make the suggestion, but will insist that you do not use that type of actuator.
@@RU-vidMaster1611 Every manufacturer specifies the design load limits of each of their models, typically with a width/weight dimension. What I would suggest is dependent on a couple of factors. I would not only need at least an estimate of the gate's weight, but also of its length. I would also need to know whether the gates will be privacy gates, or with a picket and frame construction. If you would provide me with that information, I will make at least a couple of suggestions.
I currently have a Linear SW3000XLS series (dual gates). How does this liftmaster compare? Mine will need replacing soon, and I'm not sure if I want to swap out for the identical system, or go with a new brand. My Linear is about 7 years old, and I'm having issues with the secondary arm, and it doesn't make sense to just replace one arm at this point. Thanks in advance!
I had my gate only for a few years, but I have installed LiftMaster in other places and I have had good luck. LiftMaster also has my q which allows you to open and close the gate from your phone which allows you to open and close the gate from yourself
Very cool - I am looking to designing, buidling and installing a similar gate for my home. Is there any way to get design plans and parts list for build?
So I have the let mag lock for my 13 ft gate but it only came with about 6 ft of wire did you add additional wire to get it from your power source all the way to the other side of your gate and how did you do so?
@@pablodoesitall7256 Hello Sir! I am also interested in the bracket. What would you say the distance is from where the hinge of the gate would be to the hole for the actuator. My distance of bracket may be slightly longer, but the same distance would be used for the clearance from where the seam is from where the gate opens and closes to the hole of the bracket. Hoping you can help me out! Also, how far away is the hole (bracket) from the actual gate? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Lastly, what is the thickness of the bracket?
@@pablodoesitall7256 the constant amp draw makes the mag-lock … a non solar ….. but maybe a mag type dead bolt….will give peace of mind….anything to keep out the rift raft….and it’s not getting better with Brandon’s border.
@@pablodoesitall7256 Awesome thank you so much! last question what’s the brand you bought for the antique bronze patina and with what did you apply it with?
