To install this on a driveway gate opener, is there anything else I would need to buy to install?

You would also need a Solar Charge Controller & a Battery. Check YouTube for instructions.

I bought some extra wire but didn't need it. Just spliced in to the existing wire. I already had a 5 amp panel. It wasn't enough to keep the battery charged. So the short answer other than wire you shouldn't need anything

My gate opener has built in diodes to keep the solar panel from draining the Battery at night. If your gate opener does not have this integrated in the circuit board you will need to buy a voltage regulator and put that between the input of the gate opener control board and the solar panel. Also this panel does not have built in diodes. Some panels do. My gate opener is a Mighty Mule. I think all of their boards has this built in.

It comes with a mounting plate, so just hardware i.e. wire, nuts, bolts etc. Other than a battery and charge controller you should be good to go. Now that I read the other two answers I'd say we are agree. :)

Yes it will fit. You will definitely use both extensions, but this will allow the gate to be centered and look much nicer imo.

My husband said he'd omit the pin and replace it with a nut and bolt. We have not had anyone do this to our gate, yet! Good luck!

Yes you will need wire strippers soldering gun digital volt meter screwdrivers and other hand tools and patience also if you can a wiring diagram unless you are not using door lock function

These will only work with your garage motor and a few other manufacturers gate or garage receivers.Please let me know which type of receiver you have and we can let you know what is available.Best Regards,RonAAA Security Depot

I had to find the u bolt brackets on line. Drilled holes in the gate post and attached them. Followed directions the rest of the way

Yes. Your chamberlain door opener may be myw ready. You need this device to use it.

I've got a liftmaster so I don't know about a chamberlain ( although I believe they are both the same company). Alowed the Homelink in my 2008 ford edge to work fine. Amazon has a liberal return policy; try it.

I had a similar problem. Turns out it was installed correctly. In my situation, all I had to do was first turn the unlock lever AND lift the gate at the same time to open. Not very intuitive at first and not explained well in the instructions, but soon became second nature.

The package I ordered had everything included. Opener, remotes, chain, hardware to mount the chain to the gate, instructions...everything. The opener is still going strong. I bought mine from Amazon in June 2012

You will need an amp kit. I would recommend Rockford fosgate amp kits. It will give you all the wires you need if you're going it yourself. If you are going to a slop for installation, they may provide the necessary wiring

I installed a while ago but it matched perfectly to mine. It is about an 8 year old opener. It worked the lights as well as opened door individually. All wire were included but did not need to change. Just changed the basic push button part. Hope this helped

You would need to get a gate opener or some sort of the keypad that you can connect it to.

look on their website, I am pretty sure they sell a button opener. They also have a magnetic sensor that you can bury and the gate will open when you pull your car up to the gate.

No you will have to buy the gear rack separately. The length of the gear rack is based on your opening plus 2 feet. This gate opener has been working for me. Good luck on your installation.

I would just order an aftermarket power door lock kit and install it. Your factory latch would have to be replaced also along with adding this actuator and running power to it. If you go aftermarket you'll have a remote on your keys to work with it. You also can get everything from a salvage yard from a factory pl vehicle but you will still have wiring to do no matter which you chose.
