TOPENS AT602 Dual Swing Gate Opener Medium Duty Automatic Gate Motor for Double Swing Gates Up to 5.5m per Arm, Electric Driveway Gate Operator AC Powered with Remote Control, Beacon and Photo Sensor

1. Though the product is super value, don't be fooled by the price. Excellent quality, sturdy and looks very durable (AT06 model). Operating two large 2m heavy gates. Not a bother. Many options and settings. 2. If your gates are level and aligned, installation is relatively straight forward. Main point, as with any gates, needs and strong mouting pillar. 3. Instructions are the best I have seen for anything. Highly detailed with various installation and operating senarios. All written is proper English and easy to follow. 4. Customer support. They respond with 12 hours with solutions and help. eg Adding electronic. 5. 7 months after purchase. The control board failed. I contacted Customer Support at Topens, after a couple minor questions, they shipped a replacement Control Board free of charge by Fedex!! Then followed. Painless, took 2 days from first contact to shipping replacement board. If you are looking for an Automatic Gate opener with a reliable company that answers email and calls plus a sturdy product. You can't go wrong. Dealing with Topens was like dealing with an Amazon direct product. Painless.

I was slightly dubious at first before buying these about the quality of them, but after receiving and fitting them am very happy with what I have for the money. I went with the medium duty gate openers and they are more than powerful enough for my needs, I could have easily got away with light duty but have always gone with over engineering things I build! The instruction manual is very well written and covers all scenarios regarding push or pull opening of the gates. The control box is fully customisable and again the methods of doing so are well explained in the manual. You can change settings controlling gate priority, opening delay, opening speed, automatic close time, etc. What I especially like is that the control board allows a simple open/closed switched input, meaning a whole host of accessories and controls can be added and used to open the gates. I personally already have smart relay switches and some home automation so was easily able to run a wire and add it to my smart relay control system. Smart functionality can also be achieve with topens own accessories too. Overall I’m happy with the build quality of the units, and hopefully if there are any problems over the coming years, the customer service will step in and help solve them.

Highly recommend these!! Great quality and easy to install. They seem very sturdy but I suppose time will tell. So far they work great with the settings we have chosen. We would certainly choose these if ever we decide to fit our other gate with them.

OK I need to update this review because following it, Topens reached out to me to offer a refund for the replacement arms, which is much better service than expected/had previously and from that perspective I give the service 5 stars. As I say, I was not expecting this at all, so all credit to them! I cannot in all good conscience give a 5-star review as I still have doubts around the longevity of their products due to the sheer number of failures I've experienced so the hardware itself right now gets 3 stars and I would still say caveat emptor. In terms of the issues I've seen, I will list them: I originally bought the HJ4022 openers as the gates they're connected to are fairly light wooden. These gates have no limit sensors but rather work on pressure to determine if they're fully open or fully closed. They also open one arm first but close it first as well, which limits the kind of stops you can use. They were tricky to set up but eventually I was happy with them. For a very short time. We went through, I think, four replacement sets over the next few months before Topens suggested returning them and getting the AT602's. These, on the face of it, are a much better beast. For one they have limit switches which makes it much easier to set them up. However, be warned - these have a tendency over time to move slightly, causing gaps. And there was always an element of movement in the gates as well. So, to that end I invested in an ET24 electronic lock. Again, this worked for a few months before it began to behave erratically. If you can imagine, the locking mechanism is like the moving part of a Yale lock, but hollow - imagine a curved > kind of shape. When the lock closes, it locks over a rather narrow pin. The problem started that the pin moved behind, into the hollow, which then jammed it from unlocking. You have a key to unlock manually but it's spring loaded and doesn't stay open. Unfortunately to stop the jamming I had to remove the pin. Eventually I had to remove the lock entirely and a much cheaper Aliexpress one worked so much better (not least because the > shaped part is solid, not hollow and the pin is about 120% thicker). And then, last week, one of the arms didn't stop opening. It went past the limiter and kept going. I believe this is what broke the magnet for the reed sensor. I had to cut power to the gates before I was able to remove the arm! Now this set lasted around 20 months, so less than two years. There is also no facility, programmatically to prevent the gates from closing - you have to use a physical switch wired in in place of the photocells (and it isn't clear if you can use this in parallel of the photocells or not). Ultimately, this is why I suggest using caution before purchasing.

Out of the box there are a lot of components to consider, all look well constructed and very well packaged. This opener works in a number of situations so it is important to make sure you follow the instructions specific to your requirements (ours was push to open). Installation is very straightforward, we were timber doors on timber framing (as opposed to posts and gates) but the translation from the given instructions to the specifics of the installation was extremely straight forward and we used our own M10 coach screw fixings as the through bolts provided were not suitable. Wiring was very straightforward, either by the written instructions or the accompanying wiring diagram. Set up of the electronic functions is straightforward if you follow the instructions to the letter for the equipment and extras you may have purchased. We had a slight glitch with the final closing positions of the doors requiring us to liaise with Joyce in customer services. Considering this was a remote service, you couldn't ask for a more helpful and prompt service, with quick reviews of photos and videos with the final adjustments to the positions and timings of various movements taking no more than 1/2 an hour now works to perfection and unbelievably quiet and smooth in operation. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
