Upgrade kit
Everything needed to give new life to an old system
Epsom
Fitted to a 4mtr single gate worked fine
Does what it's supposed to - but how long will they last?
Feels cheap and nasty - it might look prettier than its predecessor, but it doesn't feel it. I wonder how long they will last. I had three of the old fobs that were supplied with the gate - the fist one lasted about 13 months, then next one about 18 months and the last one about 2 yrs. The cut out for attaching a split-ring is too thick - you need a screwdriver to twist the split-ring open enough to get it to work properly - plenty of scope for jabbing yourself in the hand.
On a positive note, the support tech I spoke with, with respect to syncing the new fobs with the gate was very helpful, though what he suggested, didn't work, but I admired his enthusiasm. He said I could follow the instructions that came with each new fob - press the activation button on the old fob until the LED showed it was ready to pair, then press the button to use, on the new fob - yup - no that didn't work. Had to take the control panel cover off and sync each fob in turn. . .
Locinox Panther - Great Retrofit Closer
Recently fitted this for an upmarket client in Hampstead, great product, client very pleased. Works a treat and looks very neat.
Pug and play, easy
I took a photo of the previous inputs but it's simply a case of pulling out the plugs on the existing board and plugging them into the new one. They look like fixed screw terminal blocks but they are plugs so it's a dead easy swap. Shouldn't really fail after 5 years but the Came technical team at Donnington were excellent in explaining the remote pairing too. Only 4 stars because the relay shouldn't have failed in the first place. Metalines price matched a cheaper Internet store.
