Installed this gate at our office, worked great.. had some issues with connectivity but once I spoke with the tech support and completed the trouble shooting they were able to resolve the issue and now everything works great. Overall great product and great customer service.

Was working without issues for 3 months, and then something must've tripped in the control board. I reached out to support over email and was able to get a new board in 2 days; no issues since. Otherwise, all openers/etc. work well.

Topen saves my bacon again. We had lightening take out several of our electronics, this is the model they suggested to replace the previous model we had. Easy to install, works great a busy facility. The previous model was 3 yrs old, so far this one seems to work as well as the old one.

The Topen CK1200 gate opener is working really well. It opens and closes within seconds and it’s quiet. My husband installed it using the owners manuel. The instructions were clear and not difficult to follow. We had a heavy downpour right after installing it and it continues to work real well. The chain doesn’t show any rust. So the whole thing is waterproof. It’s worth the money. The remotes are easy to use & were easy to connect to the gate opener.

Purchased to replace gate motor for a heavy steel gate. The unit is compact, quiet, and seems to handle opening the gate easily. The cost of the unit is quite reasonable compared to other brands. Even though it does not come with a lot of “bells and whistles”, there are a bunch of add on accessories depending on your needs (considering the WiFi remote and will review if purchased). The only thing that could be improved are the installation instructions. They read like they were written by an engineer and figures could be improved. Otherwise, it was easy to install myself. Tech support was helpful and responsive regarding some general questions I had about the unit.

This is the second gate opener I purchased from Topens. Honestly, their tech support team is really helpful and they do want to take care of their customers and keep them happy. It does take a while to communicate with them but they always respond. I had an issue where I had the chain set up the wrong way and they pointed it out by the pictures I sent them. It's a great product for the price and you can purchase additional warranty coverage if you need to. I would recommend this product for those who like to save money and like to install items and work on their own house projects.

I bought the gate opener hoping it would be ok. I have been using for 3 weeks now and seems to be working great. Was fairly easy to install also

I am very happy with this gate opener. The system is compact and robust.I have it connected to a cantilevered 24ft opening gate, overall length is about 40ft.The installation was simple and straight forward. Had to play with the controls a bit to fine tune the stop/reverse setting. Have just gone through a cold weather snap of -20C for about 14 days.The opener worked every morning.Would happily recommend this product for any such application.

IT IS A BAD MAGNET DESIGN!! THEY GIVE YOU A LITTLE MAGNET TO ATTACH TO THE GATE TO STOP THE MOTOR. THE LITTLE MAGNET IS A JOKE AND DOES NOT WORK!!! No matter how tight we got the chain, it slipped. No matter how close we put the magnets, they did not work. It took off with a mind of it's own at 1130pm one night, pulled the gate past the magnets, and twisted the chain and apparatus to total destruction. It's nothing but junk! Used it for two days. The remote worked ok. I am having to replace it after one week of on/off use and a mechanic working on it several times. I have more expense in fixing it than I gave for it. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME!!!

Before you install the Gate Operator outside wire everything inside your home on a bench in order to test that everything functions. More importantly that you have an understanding how it works plus test all the settings.This Gate Operator kit comes with everything you need to install including floor anchors which I did not use as a they have a 9/16 inch diameter and I only had a 1/2 inch masonary bit. No big deal as I had 1/2 inch expansion bolts. The other tools you will need is a hammer drill, adjustable wrench, chain breaker tool, screwdrivers which will include a small flat blade for wires that go to control board. If you are not going to use the U bolts that come with this kit for a cleaner install like I did you will need more tools. Drill bits, cut off wheel, metal file, self taping sheet metal screws and washers.My gate required some tweaking since I only had a small gap for chain to move. I was able to elongate a few holes to adjust chain perfectly. I do not believe most will have this issue but it is wise to have all the tools to resolve this if you need to drill a hole or make the chain bracket slot have a bit more adjustment. This is not Topens fault but my custom gate which I have to modify in order to fit the way I want it to.Once you have the motor secured to concreate, chain has been cut, gate opens, closes with no binding when disengauged from motor you may unhook chain and continue with wiring.You need to provide the 120v wire from your home. Best to use Liquid Tight conduit from Big Box Store along with the conduit fitting as this motor has a hole in the bottom for it. I also have an optical sensor and coaxial cable from my old Multicode Reciever box going to the bottom as this unit has two holes for bringing wires in. The GO has grommets to keep bigs out.The wiring is very well documented in the manual. The only thing I would add is that you may have more than one remote receiver connected to this unit. I current have the Topens remotes plus my old original Multicode remote with Sonoff LV opening gates which are programmed to my cars already. Connection 15 and 16, see pic is for push button opening. Anything that closes a circuit may be used like the Sonoff LV to open and close the gate making it a smart gate. There is enough space to put whatever extra receiver box you decide on top of the motor, see pic. I will strongly advise on getting the Optical sensor to be safe and it is very easy to to add. The only thing you will need is wiring as sensor does not have any. When you are testing the Optical sensor indoors make sure to have the reflector a few feet apart as it does not work real close to main unit that transmits the beam.When placing the magnet be sure to line them up with markings on the side of gate motor. Cover must be off to see markings, see pic. This gate does not stop right away when it reaches the magnet but slows down to a stop which I like. Make sure to adjust the force pots on the board. Don’t crank them all the way up to full power. Start low then gradually adjust to lowest setting that allows the gate to open.In summary the Topens CK1200 is a very complete Gate Operator with all parts needed to install. As noted above, if you do not want to have all these u bolts and or looking for a more streamline/custom install you will have to modify some brackets. The good news is that the brackets are beefy, thick metal and you will have no issues cutting them to fit your needs if you choose to do so. The customer service is 5 stars, answering all my questions via Amazon before the purchase. If there are any problems I will be sure to update this review. When my 2nd gate fails beyond repair I will replace it with another CK1200. I may even do a video of install if time permits for those who are hesitant to tackle this project.PS. Pressure washing my driveway on the to do list ;)
