CO-Z ADSW4 Automatic Gate Opener Kit, Dual Swing Gate Openers for Doors up to 600kg 6m, Electric Driveway Gate Openers with Remote Kit Infrared Sensors Equipped Solar Battery Charging Compatible

I did have a Ducati gate opener, but had major problems: the external control box wasn't rainproof (!!!) and the gates didn't close with any tightness, so moved about in the wind. The CO-Z gates, however, have a better and easier to install control box and when the gates open and close, they are much more solid. They can't be opened by just pushing, making them much more secure. Excellent product. Highly recommended. Cheaper than Ducati, too.

Installed and working without too much fuss initially.I was initially alarmed that the pistons spin round forcefully at the end of their travel, thinking this would damage the motors or my gates. The seller wasn't helpful in responding to my query, so I installed them anyway and that wasn't an issue initially but now the rotational force has broken my gates. I am making larger metal brackets for the gate attachments (200 x 50mm and 4mm thick steel). Previous metal brackets I made with thinner metal could not withstand the force. Note that the VR1 and VR2 controls should in theory reduce the amount of force used to determine a stop but they don't seem to have any effect, and this force is really excessive for wooden gates.The instructions aren't up to much, you need to take your time and work it out for yourself, but there is nothing overly complicated. I can't state enough that substantial fixings to your gates and posts are essential!!Only Co-Z branded additional remotes work (£16 each)The kit is satisfying once working properly, and recommended, excellent value, but it is also a little infuriating.... Better instructions and customer service would have got a 5 star review.

These took a while to fit as my gates and hinges are both behind the gate pillars. However after working out where I needed to mount them ( this configuration is not covered in the instructions) , i fitted them and they work great. Fixings all seem solid and well made.

They have changed the control panel, (the comments her are for the old control panel, which I previously had). was easy to fit as they were a direct replacement, I is better to go online from the QR code at the back of the manual.Please note: The manual on this page does not match the product, best go to the cozsupplies.com website.

The installation was straightforward but the infrared sensor failed after 8 months and will now only work with the safety device disconnected. I now need to source and pay for a replacement from an independent supplier for this device. Interestingly I only purchased from this company because they had UK in their title but it came from China without standard UK guarantees.

after a couple of years the motor has stopped working. The only way I can get it to work is by switching it on/off at the mains and then it will work one time only. Anybody have a similar issue and resolved this?

As mentioned before these are very powerful and ripped the screws out the wooden gates on the first few attempts. I am very happy with these but did make some additional plates to mount the end brackets to help spread the force and then as others have said, extended the openers fully out to where the gates are fully open. This goes against the manual but if you don't do this the openers keep trying to open and rip the brackets off. VR1 and VR2 don't seem to make any difference to the force.

Aquaint yourself with vr1 and vr2, turn anti clockwise, this reduces the force it takes to stop the gates trying to open past the limit you may have, wall, slope, etc. The instructions almost made me return the item as there is no mention of how to restrict movement of the opening past 90 degrees, in fact the manual for the most part is jibberish. It's not a DIY product as advertised.
