As an aside I have told gate automtaion guy to hold fire as I may have made a boo boo. If I pay cash I wont have any proper paperwork and the guy who has done my peers has added an extra 200 euro on for cutiing out the kinks and feeding through 2 pieces of flexible ducting.!! It took extra time and was not in original quote even though I told him 10 milllion times I was getting automated gates so for 2 peers 48" high, a small bit of wall on one side to be repaired, took 3 blocks, I had 64 blocks so he supplied 4 bags of cement, 64 more blocks, 2 peer caps and one wall cap that had to be cut, then plaster. Original quote 350 now its 550. 2 peer caps at 30 euro EACH, I priced these later at 9.75 each. It means any saving on gates has gone.
The stuff I was getting is called EIRE STO, ie 2 ungerground motors, 3 x zappers, 1 overide on/off switch, and a gsm unit that does not require me to pay for a sim to keep it activated, 2 keys to allow access in event of power failure total cash price 3200. He said 2 years guarantee but wesbite says 12 months.

I have injured myself and now not sure I could open the gates manually. I am having serious second thoughts. I go to doctor on monday so will know more then. No mention of battery back up but quite afew did mention it. I have all cables in, power connected, cable in hallway, ducting at gate, ducting in peers. I think I am getting a poor deal.
has anyone opened elecrtic gates manually ie with power off.
noah
