Lock Master Sliding Gate Opener Questions & Answers

To open a Lockmaster sliding gate during a power outage, use the manual release key (usually provided in the kit) to turn the lock on the motor housing, allowing you to disengage the clutch and push the gate manually. Locate the keyhole, often under a plastic cover on the side or top, turn the key, and slide the gate.

Hi David, I have had the same problem with adding new remotes especially if they are the 4-silver buttons and black slide cover. Some of them can't be programed via the LED learn program. Some have to be paired only by an original working remote to a new remote but that works for a while and then fails. Make sure you have the correct frequency remoted as the lockmaster swing gate (but not all correct frequency work either.) So, I purchased 2 remoted from Ebay (Sean's Gate Remotes. Item no 145793480865) to test if they would work and worked perfectly, they are a solid remote, so I scraped all my other remotes and now have 8 remotes and are working perfectly now over 18 months. Regards, Stephen

The distance (usually it is 2.5cm /1 inch or more) between the gate opener and the gate is also determined by the proper position of the post brackets. REV 09a 10 Step 1 Place the post pivot bracket between the two post brackets. Insert the M10x30 bolt through the center hole of the post bracket and post pivot bracket as shown. Place a 10 washer , 10 lock washer and M10 nut on the bottom of the bolt and hand tighten. Both round and square post can be used because of the curved design of the post brackets. When mounting the post brackets, use bolts long enough to pass through the entire post. When mounting the post brackets to wooden posts, a larger-size washer or metal plate should be used between the bolts and the wood post to ensure the stability of the fastening hardware when thrust is used. should be made of metal and set in cement to ensure the stability of the post. Determining the Position of Mounting Hardware NOTE: The following steps are intended for Pull-to-Open gate installation only. You will find a series of sizes from following chart to determine the proper mounting position 11 Step 2 Attach the gate bracket and post bracket assembly to the opener by inserting a clevis pin. Secure the clevis pins using the hairpin clips. Step 3 With the gate in their desired open positions (from 0° to 100° the opener in their retracted positions, place the opener with the gate bracket and post bracket assembly on the gate post and the gate. Position the gate bracket and the post bracket assembly so that the gate opener is level with the horizontal cross member of the gate. While holding the opener in the desired level position, temporarily secure it with two C-clamps. Step 4 Determine the optimum position of the pivot bracket on the post bracket assembly by ensuring a minimum 2.5cm (1 inch) distance exists between the gate and the gate opener in both the gate-open and gate-closed positions. To ensure the minimum 2.5cm (1 inch) distance maintained in the gate-closed position, remove the clevis pin from the gate bracket while holding the gate opener, then close the gate. Move the gate opener so as the gate bracket and the opener are aligned. NOTE: Ensure the gate opener and the pivot brackets do not bind in the gate open and gate closed positions. have enough distance, or the gate opener is binding on the post pivot bracket, you may move the post pivot bracket assembly slightly to the right or left to obtain the proper distance. ce the M8 x 30 bolt into the desired pivot on the post bracket. NOTE: There is an emergency release design. Use the triangular key to unlock the opener, you can stretch the moving rod or retract it by using hand to pull or push the front mount assembly. Be sure that the openers are both locked before you prepare to activate your openers. Other information please refer to content in page 22. 12 Installing the Mounting Hardware Step 5 Sign the bolt-hole point on the gate bracket and gate. Do this by placing a punch or a sign in the middle of each bolt slot on the post bracket assemblies and the gate bracket. It allows slight adjustments to the post bracket. Then remove the post bracket and gate bracket by taking off the C-clamps. Step 6 Using a drill and a bit of 10.5, drill holes through the post and the gate at the sign bolt hole point. Step 7 Attach the post bracket assemblies to the gate posts by inserting four M10 x 200 bolts through each post bracket assembly and the drilled holes in the gate post. Fasten each bolt with one 10 washer, one 10 lock washer, and one 10 nut. 13 Step 9 Cut all parts of bolt which is extending beyond the tightened nuts by saw. Installation of the Opener Step 10 Attach the gate opener to the securely fastened post bracket assemblies and gate brackets by using the four clevis pins. Insert one clevis pin through the gate opener and the gate bracket. Insert the other clevis pin through the gate opener and the post bracket assembly. Secure the clevis pins with the two hairpin clips. Step 8 Attach the gate brackets to each gate by inserting two M10 x 75 bolts through the gate brackets and the drilled holes in the gates. Fasten each bolt with one 10 lock washer, and one 10 nut. 14 Mounting the Control Box CAUTION: Install the Control Box in a well ventilated place protected against rain and sunlight. NOTE: It is strongly suggested that the control box should be mounted in the side of opener 1 in the right-hand side from a view inside the gate so that the electric lock (optional accessory) can be properly installed (See P9). Step 3 Insert second gate opener cable and alarm lamp cables into the control box through middle strain relief house. Then repeat step 2. Step 4 Insert other cables into the control box through rightmost strain relief housing. Then repeat step 2. Step 1 To install the control box use the deck screws (not provided).

Hi Peter, if it's triangular key these may work..... eBay triangle key universal, Antrader triangle spanner key (amazon) or Alekob release key LM901-902

Hi Phillip, Limit switch needs adjustment, look at this u tube video : Lockmaster Electric Swing Gate Opener Not Closing Properly - Easy fix

Hi Rodger, I am trying to do the same thing. Did you find out how to achieve the installation? Stuart.wood@hotmail.com

same problem... any answer forthcoming?

Has anyone found a solution to this yet? Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

doesn't seem to be one ... i tryed changing the circuit board to one with a lock conection but then the arms wouldn;t work,,,don;t know

the only Lock master that has an electronic lock on the motherboard is the LM902. As the parts are sold by non tech people with language difficulties your chances of getting an answer is almost zero. They advertise on Ebay with the picture of the board with the electronic lock but any attempt to get that confirmed has failed at least 5 times. Even complaining to eBay got no results.

Hi did you get it sorted?? I have Same unit and when you push button it just starts and stops and goes nowhere…

Yes

Same as mine, did you find a solution?

apparently these cheaper units can develop this issue. ive since removed and will fit a more expensive unit later.

Have you found an answer? In the manual set up procedure at P9, using INC and DEC, 11 PBS is available; 00 PBS is null.

It’s a piece of s*** product: installed mine 2 weeks ago and the worm gear engaging on the output shaft snaped in half (pulled it appart to see it’s made out of nylon), tried to reset it like you probably are trying yourself as the dim switches work when they want and the auto close function could not be turned off on mine.It was good for about a week then it would just open and close flat out and stop abruptly : just came back from a machinist shop an hour ago(5 hours at 100 an hour plus the material to get one made out of brass).So now the question is: do I pay the money for a cog or do I buy a brand new motor assembly (from a different brand of course) for less = what’s four more dynabolts in the concrete? Good day to you

Try Aleko in the states they have a bunch of stuff but I haven’t compared them yet - hello@aleko.com - alekoproducts.com may have to use a international shipper

Hi Brian, Don't know of any contact number for technical support (usually any issues you have is to contact the company you purchased original unit from if still under warranty), but I have purchased spare parts etc from a company called Starproducts.com.au 66 Boulder rd Malaga W.A 08-92492666 I am sure they could help you with technical info as they supply a lot of lockmaster supplies in their online categories section under...(home essentials). Kind Regards

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question . Will try the company tomorrow.
