TOPENS ET24 Automatic Electric Gate Lock for DC 24V Swing Gate Opener Gate Operator System Device Safe Security Gate Lock

I’ve been using the ET24 gate lock with my TOPENS electric gate opener for just over two years now, and I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations. From day one, it has added an extra layer of security and stability to my gate system. The lock engages and releases smoothly every time, and I’ve never had any issues with it sticking or failing to lock, even in extreme weather conditions.Installation was straightforward, and it integrated perfectly with my existing TOPENS setup. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind it provides—knowing the gate is securely locked when closed makes a big difference, especially when it comes to safety for pets and property.

I purchased the Topens gate lock to go with the Topens gate operator. I have to open and close the gate to keep cows away from our house. I could have just let the gate close and be done with it, but I was afraid cows being cows would rub against the gate and add additional stress to the gate itself.I installed the lock and had it operating properly in just a few minutes. It works seamlessly with my remote gate opener, all you do is press the remote control and the gate unlocks and opens without any problem. Just remember to turn off the power to the gate control board when you attach the two wires to the panel. I highly recommend if you want to provide a little more security from cows and other things.

The electric lock works perfectly, but that is only half the story. The TOPENS gate opener I purchased this electric lock opener for was struck by an electrical power surge that fried the control board and the power board. The tech support department performed flawlessly and replaced both components with detailed photos, diagrams and instructions. TOPENS is a great company with exceptional customer service. Gate and electronic lock are back up and running.

I got this because I have two big dogs and just put in an electric gate opener. Problem was that the dogs jumping on the gate just opened it. This is solid and the instruction for connecting it to the control box were fine. But I had a horrible time getting it to latch without getting stuck. The gate catch with the rod that is grasped by the clasp has to be put exactly right or it doesn't work. And the instructions give suggestions about things you might have to try, like setting the closing gauge for the master gate a little past the normal close position. I assume this is to put extra pressure on the locking mechanism so that the bar will actually go under the clasp and lock in position. But it also makes the gate bow out a little. Any attempt to get that bow to go away results in no locking of the mechanism. And the piece that holds the bar that is the receiving mechanism for the lock has to be put in the exact right position. But there is no explanation of what that position is other than to make it level with the other piece. But it's position to the right or left is just as important. The little rod is not set in place, it moves a bit and so it can be attached where it will receive the other piece of the lock when the gate closes, but won't latch. Or it can be attached where it latches, but then there's so much pressure on it that it won't unlatch. This was, by far, the most difficult, arduous part of the process of installing the gate openers. At one point, I was despairing of ever getting to be able to actually use the gate opener because without a lock I can't let the dogs out and so I would end up having to use the slide gate I've been getting out to open every time I've left the house for the last 28 years. It is now latching and it has worked for several days, locking and unlocking each time without fail, so I am tentatively excited that I might have it all finished. However, the master gate does press out a little past the close spot, and I worry that there is pressure being put on the gate opener because of that, that will wear it out faster than normal. But, fingers crossed, it will have a long life. My only request is that the instructions would be a little better at explaining where each piece should go to work optimally. EDIT: Well I've had this for a while. I bought a gate stopper that goes into the driveway and that really helped with the gate. They do suggest that in the instructions. It has mostly worked since. However, if it is relatively windy the pressure against the gate seems to make it stop working. I am considering putting in a drop rod that I can engage during windstorms to take the pressure off the lock. The other issue is when the temperature dropped the lock froze and I was locked in for a bit. Even the key wouldn't unlock it. The openers were working fine in the cold weather. It was only the lock that had a problem. So, I would say that the lock mechanism is iffy for places that have many days below freezing. Luckily I live in a place where that's pretty rare.

Smooth working! Great for those cold days when I don’t want to get out of the car to open the gate. I had a couple questions and my email was answered within 24 hours!

This locked was everything we expected. Installation is very easy and only took about 30 minutes. The hardest part was finding a bolt for the smaller piece that would sit flush to all the lock to function properly. Over all very good experience with the locking system and customer support was excellent. Would purchase again.

Works great and gives peace of mind once the gate shuts.

ET24 GATE LOCK, I have installed the lock to be used with the Topens A8S gate opener. It's very easy to install mechanically and to wire up to the control box. What I enjoy about the lock is in bad weather when the gate closes it locks therefore you do not have to go out and padlock it. When you open it automatically unlocks. I recommend purchasing this Item.
