Open electric gate manually

The double door gate across the driveway is closed, the electric system is not working and there is a manual way to open it. I have turned the key to manual, but the gates won't open. What else needs to be done?

SOURCE: Sliding gate will not close

Check track for obsticles, Does it slide smoothly or does it hand have way and get more difficult, Clean any sensors you can see with a clean rag. Let me know what you find.

SOURCE: Strike open light flashes and gate opens

The loose connection may be true, but i would first start out checking the track and rollers for any obstructions that could stop the gate from closing, if the gate can be closed smoothly by hand than check the ERD potentiometer on the circuit board. also peel of the blue circle sticker for the alarm potentiometer and adjust as necessary

SOURCE: i have an elite robo swing r900 gate opener. gate

first check you battery and make sure it is putting out 12v dc then if you have a solar power system check the red and black wire comming from the panel and make sure it is putting out 24volts. if you panel is not putting out the volts it caused your battery to die so replace your panel and battery and all should work fine. if your using a trickel charger do the same check power its putting out and make sure its correct and also check the 120v ac comming in to the charger. Follow the steps it deffinatly sounds like a power issue.

I have a Coromaster BIIB. It looks like there is not a battery that can open the door during load shedding. Any assistance? Thanks

It sounds like you have a Coromaster BIIB automatic gate opener that uses an electric motor to operate the gate, and you are experiencing issues with the gate opening during power outages or load shedding.
One solution to this issue is to install an automatic gate opener with a battery backup system. This system uses a battery to provide power to the gate opener during power outages, allowing the gate to continue to operate normally.
Another solution is to install a manual override system that allows you to open and close the gate manually during power outages. This can be done by installing a manual release mechanism that can be used to disengage the gate from the opener, allowing you to open and close the gate manually.
If you are not comfortable working with electrical devices, it would be best to seek the help of a professional technician. They will be able to install the necessary equipment and ensure that it is working properly.
It's also important to check with the manufacturer of your specific model of gate opener, they might have a solution or an add-on that can help you with this problem.

Have a BFT Phobos BT gate opener. The problem I am having is my gate won't close all the way. There is a small gap. I tried to set the limit switch by removing the screw but it isn't...

The opener may have been mounted improperly or may have slipped from it's original mounting location. You may not be able to make an adjustment because the arm is already fully extended.
You may have to re-position the gate opener.
