Buyer’s Feedback:

TOPENS AT1202 Dual Swing Gate Opener Review: The TOPENS dual gate opener caught my eye after reading many reviews and I added the keypad, exit wand, lock, photocell, warning beacon, and additional remote controls. The installation process was easy for me, as a DIY individual. After installation, I contacted customer service regarding an issue with the exit wand. I received a response within 24 hours of my email and they were very thorough in helping me determine the cause of the issue. I strongly recommend the TOPENS brand gate openers and accessories.

Why is my gate opener not working?

If your gate opener does not turn on after being plugged into the wall outlet, check the following items:

  1. Make sure the gate opener is turned off before plugging it into the wall outlet.
  2. Check the voltage level of the wall outlet. A good quality wall outlet should provide 110 volts.
  3. Test the gate opener’s circuit breaker. To test the circuit breaker, remove the cover plate from the back side of the gate opener. Disconnect the wires from the circuit breaker and then reconnect them. Turn the switch on and see if the gate opener turns on. If it doesn’t turn on, replace the circuit breaker.
  4. Reset the timer. Remove the cover plate from the top of the gate opener. Connect the black wire to the red wire and connect the white wire to ground. Then reset the timer.
  5. Clean the contacts inside the gate opener.
  6. Replace the cover plate.
  7. Reinstall the cover plate.
  8. Plug the gate opener into the wall outlet again.
