Surge suppression is the single largest regret for gate opener customers who have a board destroyed by some seemingly insignificant power surge. Nothing can stop a direct lightning strike but small surges happen all the time. The two largest sources are residual energy from lightning nearby and power overages when the power company restores power after an outage.
This surge suppressor interrupts those surges right before they reach the control board. The surge suppressor has the capabilities for the following:
If you have a gate opener and one or more accessories that connect to the same terminal and that don't have power run from the opener or the power leads straight from the battery of the opener - you only need one of these.
If you have a gate opener and accessories that are powered from the control board you will need two of these. Or if you have two accessories that lead to two different terminals you will also need two of these.

With the online virtual builder, customers can design a customized home security gate system, complete with different gate materials and styles.
The customization goes further. DIY Gate Openers takes every aspect of gate opener installation into account, including distance to a power supply, distance from the house to the gate, and the number of homes secured by the system. By addressing these factors up front, the right gate opener can be matched to each customer’s needs, without trial and error. Our Discount It Yourself packages also let customers choose exactly what they need, not what someone else thinks they should have. Every gate opener design is truly tailored to the consumer’s specifications.
The website is designed with the customer’s needs first, and the service doesn’t stop there. If a customer finds the same gate opener or accessory at a lower price on an authorized dealer’s website, DIY Gate Openers will not only match it but also refund 10% of the difference. Likewise, if the standard Tech Support hours (9am - 9pm EST) don’t fit a customer’s schedule, they can simply email their planned installation time. DIY Gate Openers will then provide a direct number to reach a representative during that window.
How many other companies adjust their business hours to fit the customer? At DIY Gate Openers, the customer always comes first.
