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.
