It wasn't too bad installing. Here are some tips. First, i built my support columns out of 6x6 wooden posts buried 2 feet in concrete. They recommend installing the opener with posts but I wrapped the posts in salvaged stone I cut with a grinder. To affix the opener and lock I built out the posts with chunks of 4x4 as pictured. That way I could screw into wood rather than stone which I thought might not hold. The posts took about 12 hours and I am a general contractor. On the lock side i had to leave room in the stone for the zombie lock to grab hold of the stationary vertical bolt it grabs as it extends beyond the gate and my gate closes close to the stone. They say not to put a wheel on the gate which i understand in most situations. However, my driveway runs downhill and the wheel only touches ground just before the gate closes. With a wheel, my gate support post has the weight taken off it and the zombie lock glides in perfectly every time. Beneath the wheel right where the gate closes I poured some mortar flush to the ground into a small depression i dug. That way the wheel does not wear a groove into the ground defeating its purpose of gate support. Where the wheel attaches to the gate and where the arm attaches to the gate, you must bolt through everything or the wheel will rotate up and the arm will slide. If the arm slides just a little the gate will not keep shutting correctly. I thought the wiring would be hard but it was easy. The instructions were pretty good but i watched some videos on you tube. Programming remotes and keypads took longer than i would like. After you get it, its easy, but it does take a while.. The instructions they provided with the keyless pad for guests included an addendum i did not see at first. The addendum explained the programming of the keypad whereas the original instructions did not. That drove me mad for an hour and a half so i called customer service. They got back to me the next day but by then i had figured it out. It took a little while to find the buttons in the control box you must press when you first teach the opener how far to open and close. Also, that first week, my gate was smetimes just barely hitting the stone when it closed. So occasionaly it would have to stop short of closing. When it did that it would jump back a foot and stay there. It took me a while to figure out that's what it does when it hits an object while closing. Anyway, the gate was real work - mostly the stone I wanted and it took a while to iron out all of the above issues. But it has been working to perfection now for weeks and oh what a pleasure not to get out of the truck especially in the rain. I highly recommend it. A cut above the low end openers with fewer options.. Lastly, this gate, yours too, is simply a privacy feature. If somebody breaks through it I know what to do. It can easily be defeated with a wrench. You just have to unbolt the arm from the gate. Same with the lock. If somebody dislikes you they can snip the electrical control cord or steal your battery or smash the control box. All very unlikely but thats the reality. One year later or thereabouts the gate is still working great. I am.happy with it. On several occasions over the year, maybe 6 times, it has done something weird like close and then open back up partially when i have gone. At first I tried reprogramming it. Later, i just unhooked it from the battery and it seemed to reset itself and operate properly again. It just gives me peace of mind, and stops the door to door marketers and others i don't want from coming to my house especially when I am not home. So a couple glitches here and there is tolerable. Anybody can open this gate by removing a pin from the hydraulic piston that closes it, but if they do that, they understand why i have a gun in my hand when they show up. Haven't needed to do that, which is why i love the gate. Update: five years later.... the board eventually malfunctioned which I replaced. I consider that acceptable wear and tear. The arm malfunctioned 6 months later. They sent a new one for free. That felt pretty damn good. You can make appointments with tech support and they take good care of you. I am totally satisfied. Review: ZERO problems and I have owned it for 3 1/2 years - since December 21, 2020 - I had to replace a failed GTO unit; failing completely twice. I use it on a single 16 foot tube gate. I was utterly shocked to see that this gate package has lasted over 3 1/2 years! I was always replacing circuit boards (TWO) plus a circuit board in the arm. The small batteries are also a problem but they are common to all manufacturers. I upgraded the battery to one MUCH larger for $130 with a three-year guarantee vs ONE year. The integrated charger handles it well. This was simple to install but the power gate latch was different. It needed a Zombie lock but many people won't need or want that. I could have used the same solar panel but I used the new one supplied and put it 130 feet away, which worked great! I THOUGHT that I needed a new circuit board and they sent a new one FAST but it turned out I was wrong and this one has lasted 3 1/2 years. HOORAY! I really like the circuit board box because it is so easy to open by just sliding the cover up instead of unscrewing and usually losing a few of the 4 screws in the grass. I also bought a keyboard that is mounted on another post near the gate, so the gate can be opened without a remote. It can also be programmed for visitors to get in. I also bought a second remote for another vehicle. It has soft close and open and can be easily set to stop at the right place. The only minor thing I don't like is that the clamp that holds the arm to the gate moves around which was easily fixed by putting a screw through it and the gate.

Cons: battery box sold separate and should be included because you have to have it with the solar kit. The ghost multi connect has some delays when connecting some. It may be the distance from my home to the gate. I also had to purchase a wifi booster but my driveway is a quarter mile long so I get that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ghost Controls Heavy-Duty Solar Automatic Gate Opener Kit for Driveway Swing Gates with Long-Range Solar Gate Opener Remote - Model TSS1XP - Ghost Controls Premium Wireless Keypad for Automatic Gate Openers - Model AXWK - Ghost Controls Premium 5-Button Remote Transmitter for Automatic Gate Openers, Model AXP1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/35774909-gc-ghost-controls-solar-heavy-duty-automatic-gate-opener-kit](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/35774909-gc-ghost-controls-solar-heavy-duty-automatic-gate-opener-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
