TOPENS ET24 Automatic Electric Gate Lock

Works really well to prevent wind from opening automatic gates. Takes some time to get it setup correctly. Easy to install with the existing setup.

Compatible and has worked fined outdoor, very easy to configure

This lock is solid and support is great. Works easily with controller just plug make small dip switch change and go.

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.

I purchased a complete Topens Dual Gate Opener setup (A La Carte) including: PW502 Opener, TC196 WiFi Remote, ERM12 Remote, TC175P Wired Keypad, TEW3 Vehicle Sensor Wand, and ET24 Gate Lock. After setting up and adjusting the gate travel, everything works as expected. One significant issue I had to work thru with the support staff at Topens was the inconsistent operation of the TC196 WiFi Remote that works via your smartphone. Although my indoor setup is well within the 230 meters from the gate controls (mine is about 50 meters at the most), the operation was inconsistent. It may work one day and not that afternoon. After several exchanges with Topens support, they suggested an external antenna ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094MW1YMV/) that has fixed the issue. One additional tip I would offer is when you are setting up the TC196, the "paring" sequence MUST be done as fast as possible. It appears the main board only has a few seconds to press the momentary switch on the main board, then press "A" on phone, have lights flash and press "A" on phone again. It took me multiple tries to get it programmed. Again, after solving the issues with the TC196, all the operations of the gate and related components appear to be working as expected. Thanks again to the support at Topens for assistance in getting everything working!

works great

Great product and easy to install. Keeps a double gate secure and provides solid piece of mind

Terrible design. First, the latch is open at the back, so if the gate isn't pushed flush closed, the pin gets stuck behind the latch. This means you have to set the gate to push extra after closing to ensure it's pushed all the way back, which bends the gate and hurts the motor. Second. The force needed to move the pin across the angles metal and into position means you have to set it to slam closed and can't use soft close, which also makes it bounce back out of position from flush. I have set my settings for distance and close 30 different times trying to get it perfect, which is impossible due to things like heavy wind changing how hard it closes at times. I then taped the pin in position to line up perfectly with the position the pin needs to end up, avoiding the resistance of the lock moving the pin, but it still catches 20% of the time. I then took a grinder to the lock edge on the inside to widen the inside gap and reduce the angle the metal, as well as cut notches in the side of the pin, so it can fit snug into the side to help keep it from moving out of position. It has been an ongoing issue for 4 months, and has probably severely damaged the gears in the motor due to constantly getting stuck and trying to open, but after the recent grinding it has worked without issue for a week.... it shouldn't have to be this difficult though. I'm no engineer and can think of 10 different ways this could have been designed to avoid all these issues.

Straight forward to fit. With clear and precise instructions. Simple 2 wire connection. Had to do a bit of fine tuning with the adjustment if the closing ram also from TOPENS. All in all very happy with the system.

Das Torschloss ist im Aussenbereich wenig geeignet. Es rostet und der Mechanismus klemmt dann. Für Aussenteile sollte man doch bessere Materialien verwenden.

Se place sans difficulté, côté gauche ou droit. Pour moi portail a deux vantaux mais doit pouvoir se placer sur un portail a un seul vantail. Prévu pour être assisté d'une batterie (que je n'ai pas monté) en cas de coupure du courant. Bien entendu il faudra que le mécanisme d'ouverture automatique du portail permette le montage d'un verrou.

Fácil de montar. Lo instalé en una puerta automatizada para que nadie pudiera forzar los brazos de apertura desde fuera. No ha fallado nunca.

Works very well. I have solid gates so the wind tries to blow them around. Lock prevents this.
