Would it work on a large wooden gate or just lighter aluminium ones?

Yes, depending on the weight of the gate and the proper sizing and number of hinges.

We used this successfully on a heavy wooden gate. It worked quite well and was easy to install.

I'm using it on the large wooden door from the kitchen to the garage and it's working just fine, so I don't imagine you'd have an issue with a gate door.

It works on a large wooden gate because that is exactly what I used it on. Mine are 6 foot tall board on board. i used two of these on each of my gates to automatically close my gates to prevent dogs from escaping.

I installed mine on a six-foot wide Steel gate it works great. I think it would work okay on a wooden gate also

I installed one on a gate that is about 4'x7' and made out of pine. I imagine it would work on a heavier gate.

I guess it depends on what your door is made of, and how thick it is. But I think you could safely install this on a standard wooden door.

That would seem to be ok... the gate itself is not that heavy and the design is really good. I wouldn't see any problems doing it that way.

Derrick, per instructions the height of your gate will determin if the unit may work, you can also call Gorilla, let me how it works out.

I just installed this gate plus one KidCo spindle adapter at the top of one side. It seems to work, but be advised that the bolt is thicker than the ones that come with the gate. I was afraid it would not fit, but with applying extra muscle to screw it in, it did go. It seemed to chew a bit of the plastic around where it entered the gate, so I question how much you could take it apart and put it back on. When I need to move this gate, I'll loosen the tension bolts on the opposite side.

The only issue is the weight the opener has to move.cplus the arc needs to be level enough. Eg, if the weight seen by the opener is within requirements plus a safety factor for wind load, and the gate swings level, you should be ok.But for me, I'd fix the gate first, cause it will probably just get worse, and then cause problems.Note the openers do have sensors if load is exceeded, but would never bet a grand they work...

The gate I installed it on was much smaller than 20 feet, but I think if you had enough chain and didn't overload it, it should be no problem. The opener has magnetic limit switches, very much like a garage opener. I think that as long as you have a place to mount the magnets, on your gate it could work.

I don't think that would work well for you. When you release the tension, the whole gate comes off. We had an other door way to block off and we did release a regular little wooden gate. Climbing over any gate can be dangerous.

I used them on metal gates that I think would be lees weight but I see no reason why the would not open wood gates as well.

No. Gate works with tension. If not a straight tight fit it may not close properly.

It should. My gate is longer than yours, but not as high. It is very heavy and the ALEKO works great.

I don't what you are using for. I use mine for the wooden gate, and it is strong and works very well so far. i recommend you buying solar panel also.

I have it for my 4' high x 12' chain link gate and it supports that just fine. I'd guess the gate to weigh 50 or more pounds. Sorry, never weighed a gate before. It took my daughter and I to lift it and place it on the pole.

The gate is pretty easy to use and I suspect it will work fine in a doorway that is not exactly, completely square...depending, of course, on how un-square the door in question really is.

It should not be a problem to install on a wooden gate but my best answer is to call the company the tech dept has been very helpful as long as you have the patience to be put on hold for a while Not sure but the size of gate have to do with the lenght of the cycle since it is all about timing

My gate is over 100 pounds and 1 works great so Im sure 2 would work great for your heavy gate.

51 1/2" is the max for this gate, per the specs. I have one in a 50" opening and have more than an 1 1/2" that I could go larger or smaller, so it should do the trick.
