🚪⚡ Another gate brought back to life!

We recently removed an outdated Aleko slide gate operator and upgraded this property with a new LiftMaster RSL12UL complete with MyQ smartphone control.

Now the customer can:
✅ Open and close their gate from anywhere
✅ Receive gate activity notifications
✅ Enjoy a more reliable, commercial-grade operator
✅ Have access to replacement parts and ongoing support

The old operator had reached the end of its service life, and the new RSL12UL provides smoother operation, improved safety features, and remote access right from their phone.

If your gate operator is becoming unreliable, making noise, or parts are no longer available, it may be time for an upgrade.

Pretty cool to see this pop up today.

We’ve installed and serviced a lot of different access control systems over the years, and CellGate has become one of our go-to solutions for residential gates, ranch entrances, businesses, and HOA communities.

The ability to manage your gate right from your phone, grant access remotely, and not rely on old-school phone lines makes life a whole lot easier.

We appreciate CellGate recognizing us and, more importantly, we appreciate all of our customers who trust The Gate Guy with their gate operator and access control needs.

If you’re tired of handing out remotes, dealing with gate issues, or want to know who’s coming and going from your property, give us a call.

Thanks again to the CellGate team. Looking forward to many more installs.
