If the motor has a manual release key, insert the key into the lock and turn it. (If the key fits into a sliding gate door lever, pull the turned key towards you to open the door lever until it clicks into the fully unlocked position, generally perpendicular to the motor).

The price to install a gate motor can vary depending on many factors. A quick replacement installation can take 2 hours, a complex new gate motor installation can take 6 hours or longer.

To determine the size of your gate you need to measure the opening and add 350 – 400mm. Each motor will have a maximum size gate leaf it will operate. Use the width of your gate to select the right motor for your installation.
