This rural, tree lined property needed a gate opener that would produce results. With the Apollo 1550, this entryway is streamlined. This lengthy entry gate is also complete with keypads inside and out. Now access to the home has never been easier. Finally, an installed GateCrafters gate lock helps keep the gate secure. |

With a cabin located in the beautiful North Carolina mountains, it’s no wonder the owners want to protect their property. This wooden gate and stone column entryway offers both privacy and security. Adding on a GTO gate opener purchased from GateCrafters.com means automation is just one more convenient solution. Note the creative way the opener is installed, showing no trace of the actuator arms from the front.

| Out in Porter, TX
this customer successfully installed the Mighty Mule FM352 he purchased from GateCrafters.com. This successful DIY install incorporates solar panels to assist in the gate automation powering. This customer was new to gate opener installation but pulled off a great job! Their recommendation, "order the gate closer and begin reading the website. Then when the closers arrive read the instruction manual and then read it again."

This picture was sent in as a testament to the quality and strength of a GateCrafters.com aluminum gate. They had purchased and installed this gate in 2008 and recently Dec 2010 they had a violent storm. During this storm a large tree came crashing down on their gate. As you can see from the picture this tree, that is large enough to smash through a car or house, did very little damage to the gate. What makes a GateCrafters.com gate this strong? The all-welded design, the 6061-T6 aluminum, and the automation ready horizontal cross bar design does; and on top of that the fact they are all built in the USA give us the ability to monitor closely the quality.

What a view, this lucky Apollo gate opener has found a wonderful new home. Apollo gate openers are great for ocean side properties. All components are either powder coated steel or stainless steel. This is a push to open installation which is necessary because of the slope of the driveway. Some people mistakenly try to make gates swing unlevel uphill; but this is the correct way to install a gate,, push-to-open (swings out away from the property) when dealing with an incline driveway.

It is Christmas time and what better gift that a new automated entry way. Dave used an Estate Swing driveway gate with a matching Estate Swing pedestrian gate. The spacing Dave used and the precise leveling and matching of the two give his entryway a very professional well thought through look.

| Ted, Alberta, Canada
From our friends to the north this picture is of the residence of Ted in Alberta, Canada. The flowers and stone pillars give this property a timeless classic look that will never go out of style; and the gates from GateCrafters.com match perfectly. They used an E-SC 1602 because of the column mounting and they report that it has been working beautifully since 2005 - even down to temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius. Because of the way the E-SC 1602 is designed you can't even tell from the front there is automation which is highly desired by most. Just a note, they also report that in their area in 3 months of local quotes they could not get a gate made and installed in under a 2 year wait time. With us they designed, received and had the system up and running in 30 days!

Pete had the normal reservations when seeing the cost of a cedar gate, "Hi Matt and Sinbad, the gates are up and look fantastic. While I first thought the gates were a bit pricey, now that they are here and I can see the construction – WOW! What a product and what a value." but seeing is believing. We absolutely love his installation; it has a classic American design that can't be mistaken for anywhere else in the world. Anyone would be more than proud to call this entryway home, Pete sure is, and we are proud to call him a customer.

| Anne
Anne's fence is one of the most creative we have seen, incorporating silhouettes of dogs, birds, and plants. Her fence blends well with the environment and would look striking in the path of car headlights at night. She has chosen to use solar power to automate her gate ¡§C a great choice to go with the theme of nature and the environment that her fence evokes. She also chose a gate that is higher than the fence, making the gate appear very majestic and central on her property. Her Pro3000XL gate opener is sure to keep her gate working well for years.

| Border Collie Rescue
This border collie rescue shelter knows how to create a grand entrance ''C a thick brick wall that slopes up to the gate, with posts that rise above and behind the gate to mark the shelter's entrance, all held together with a strong, nicely installed aluminum Gatecrafters gate. A great gate for a great cause!

Craig's gate is very clean and neatly installed, with a frame that is perfectly level above the driveway. He put some extra fencing along the side of the gate to make it stretch to his house and to give the gate a more completed and well-rounded look. With the simple but powerful Pro2000XL controlling the structure, his gate is sure to keep the kids safe inside the driveway and to last for years to come.

| Derrick FL
Derrick chose the perfect sized gate for his driveway. The posts match perfectly with the pre-existing wooden posts that were already a part of his fencing, so the gate continues very well from one post to the next. He was able to install the gate in less than hour, yet it still looks professional! |
