    I have no idea what this thing is your putting together today but I love you and your family so much I think I would be excited to see you screw in some light bulbs on video. I miss you. I have gone back and watch from the beginning before you moved the House to your new property 4 times. Your fun and educational to watch. I am 70 year old women alone and live in a mobile home as well and a day doesn't go by that I think or wish I could improve things in my home like the way you did. Can't wait till your next video. Thank you.

    Your best bet on lightning protection is to install a “lightning arrestor” into your power feed upstream from your circuit board. I used to do that on commercial gate openers on the west coast of Florida (the lightning capitol of the world). Believe me,it saved many a circuit board!

    I live behind a gate like that and it gives me a a feeling of general safety. It prevents people from coming down the road to ask questions, or coming cos they are mistaken about which road to take etc. I do realize a person can get past it, but like a door lock, it makes your place a little more inconvenient than some other places.

    I have the same unit. I have the zombie lock and love it. I also replaced the arm pins with locking pins. I put matching locks on the pins, control box and battery box.
    Also, I would suggest where the arm clamp connects to the gate, drill holes thru the gate and attach it there. That clamp will move as the gate gets hot or cold and your arm will get out of balance.

    Good install
    I did one at work and put the latch thing on the other end of the gate just because it's constantly really windy and the latch keeps it from rocking back and forth on the gear stuff inside the opener. So if you're looking for an excuse to "zombie proof" your property there you go

    We have double solar ghost controlled gates. Be aware they do NOT like electrical thunder storms. Ours will open in really bad storms and have lost tolerance two times. Keep your books and phone the customer service and they will walk you through how to reset your tolerances.
    Love mine even with the problems we have had.

    • @watcherofwatchers
      @watcherofwatchers ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Not true. This is a tired expression that doesn't actually represent reality and spreads a defeatist attitude. Locks are to provide an impediment, to slow down or alter the behavior of someone with ill intentions. Sometimes that leads to complete protection from that person, sometimes it is less effective at it, all depending on the skill and motivation of the attacker. Regardless, that is what a lock is for.
      If you truly believed that nonsense about locks, you would not use any lock, ever.

      That's what my dad thought. Said a thief would just break a window to get into the house. Then I had to explain to him that if the insurance company found out he didn't lock the doors because a thief would just break a window, the insurance company would do everything they could to get out of paying a claim because he literally did nothing to protect his property.

Fried it good. It was very strange, because it didn't bother any appliances at all. Well hubby got an upgrade and its now plugged into a dedicated surge protector. Live and learn.

    Thanks for posting! You’re lucky you installed a single gate closer, running wire in conduit under driveway is a lot more involved! As for the ground not being included , I think it’s a precaution against attracting lightning , as much as mitigating a strike. Here in Hawaii , basalt acts as an insulator, solar systems succumb to strikes up to a quarter mile away, where it can travel in the ground and seek wiring for an exit!

    If you’re considering purchasing a gate opener do your research. Read the reviews.
    Good luck.
