Overview
This slide gate operator can be used on gates up to 28 feet long with a 20' foot opening and 500 lb. It is one of the easiest gate openers to install because it is a low voltage system. That means it does not usually require installation by an electrician. It uses a 12-volt battery to power the gate and a transformer that plugs into a regular 115 VAC outlet to provide a slow trickle charge to the battery. This enables the operator to work a number of times should your main power go out. It also can be solar powered to recharge the battery. Please read the FAQ (frequently asked questions) for more information.

The SL1000 combined with another SL1000 can handle double sliding gates. The control box on the SL1000 operates both units.

The installation manual is very well documented with detailed drawings and text. The calls for technical support on this product is low. That tells us that our customers are successfully installing the product without further assistance. The only problems our customers seem to encounter is when they modify the units use or do not install it exactly as directed by the step-by-step instruction manual.

There are optional accessories, which simply plug into the control box for an easy installation. No extra terminal strips or transformers are required for the GTO brand accessories. Some compatible devices that we sell may require additional wiring or power requirements, such as the DoorKing™ telephone Intercom system.
