Not everyone likes to purchase system for their daily usage, but the gc ghost controls double sliding gate system would be an anomoly. The gate opener is very smooth, quiet and fast. Its design allows very coarse 20 degree increments which may prevent you from being able to fully open or close the gate without mods. The manual will also tell you to mount the controller/battery box at least 3' off the ground to prevent them from getting excessively wet and dirty. This provides for a rock-solid gate operation that doesn't sag or flex.
The gate mechanism beeps when first engaged, and then there is a low humming sound as the gate opens. It's very quiet when operating, and the only noise comes from the beeping warning that the gate will be opening once you push the remote button. The control box is easier to access and use, and the remotes are better built and have longer range. The only available automatic lock (Zombie Lock) is available separately and works only if used in conjunction with a Ghost Controls unit.
