Works Great
The gate lock is helpful for the obvious; keeping people out and pets in but it also offered support for our gate when sitting in the closed position. (we have a 16' cattle/livestock gate which weighs 150+). Since it is critical the gate is level for the automatic opener to run properly this should keep it from dragging or sagging because of gravity. It also helps when the wayward child or adult decides to stand on the gate; the lock keeps the gate securely in position. It was simple to add and just took a few minutes to install.Important Note: After a week or so the gate didn't seem to lock; after a quick assessment it ended up we needed to tighten all of the bolts, screws and check the alignment of the gate. That took less than 15 minutes and everything runs smooth now. So as the unit and your gate settle I would recommend checking all mounting for any shifting/loosening.

Works Well But Need Fine Tuning
You will need a wire to run from the control box to the actuator. This set up did not work perfectly for me. I could not use the hardware and bracket so I had a welder weld everything on the fence for me. I highly recommend consider welding this on. The pin has play that allows the fence to bounce around and can be very noisy, a problem if the fence is near your or your neighbor's house. I rectified that by using a bolt and nut instead of a pin that could be easily removed by hand. I also added a few rubber cushions behind, above, and below to reduce noise.

Sturdy and solid mechanism
This is solid, well built, and smooth operation. You will need to run wire from the controller to this, and it opens a few seconds before the gate opens.My only issue is that there is a minimal amout of tolerence for the gap for the pin it latches too. Meaning, you will need to take time to make sure the latch and reciever are properly installed/aligned. Otherwise it could cause too much risistance and the controller will not open the gate, meaning you will need to give it a slight push when opening. Its new still, but i have had to adjust slightly each month due to any gate changes in use.

I've had this installed for about three weeks now. If you have an automatic gate, you need this lock! I welded a link of chain on top of the locking pin and also next to it on the bracket so that I could put a padlock on it to keep people from being able to pull the pin and push it open. It is simple to wire up, though you do need to buy a length of wire to make it to the control box from this lock. Directions don't tell you, but remember to switch the toggle for this accessory in your control box to on or it won't work. The controllers come with the switch on off by default. Get one, its very stout!

It does work, but it needs more options. Alot of times when I release my gate this unit hangs up for a couple seconds, then it releases.
