    I purchased the A8132 gate opener in December 2024. The package arrived quickly and was followed by a welcome message from Lori in the customer service team.
    The product is robust and good quality. It was easy to install once the geometry of the actuator support had been figured out.
    Lori was easily accessible and most helpful. My queries were answered in full within an hour or so and I have never had better customer support.
    The gates have been installed and working perfectly.
    Thank you Lori.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2024

    I installed these gate actuators a few weeks ago and they seem to be working fine after spending some time fine tuning their operation. They are very easy to install with clear instructions and there is also a video tutorial available on Youtube. Despite having light gates I went for the more powerful actuator arms because I was concerned about how they would hold without having a centre stop on the driveway. I found that in windy conditions they would start to flap around and was concerned about damage occurring. To resolve this I made the stainless steel rising stops ( as our driveway is sloped) shown in the photos to butt against a central stop and also found that if you set the arms to stop one slightly short of closed position and the other slightly past the central position they will force against each other to provide a firm rigid closed gate which resists wind pressure.
    I also added a lock as shown in the photos.
    I mounted the control panels within another waterproof enclosure with battery back up.
    I also wanted remote access operated by the Amazon Echo Alexa device so installed a Shelly remote WIFI module so that it can be button or voice operated.
    The kit represents great value for money but as to be expected there are some areas for improvement. I would have preferred stainless steel parts to prevent rusting and so replaced all fixings with stainless steel. The gates are operated with the supplied remote control (or in my case Alexa) but can only cycle through the operation so with each press it opens, stops, closes, opens, stops, closes and so on. It would have been nice be able to actively select open, close or stop with separate inputs on the control panel.
    Another annoying feature I had to overcome was that I wanted to disable the photocell on the street side of the gates on opening because when you open them for a delivery they will walk forwards and stop the open operation. I came up with a way of making sure this feature is only enabled on closing the gates.
    I'm hoping to do a Youtube video in the near future showing the installation and modifications I carried out so if interested keep an eye out on there.
    I had a slight issue after installation and found the response from Topens ( Joyce ) to be second to none. I received a prompt response within 24 hours and was sent replacement parts so was very impressed with the Topens customer experience.

    I did a lot of research into the various offerings from suppliers for automated gate systems. Eventually I decided on the Topens unit as it looked well built , the on line instructions and video were clear, and there were good reports about the customer support. Although I have never fitted automated gates before, everything fitted as it should and the gates worked correctly. The two electronics boxes are well sealed against the weather. It is worth noting that the terminals used for wiring pull off to make the wiring easier and then can be plugged in again. I didn't see this in the manual and it took a bit of time to work it out although in fairness it is in the video which I missed. There was a minor issue with one of the actuators but the tech support was every bit as good as promised and this was resolved within 24 hrs. The distance from the gates to the house was on the 20m range limit but this has not been an issue. I did fit the WiFi extender as I needed extra range for one of the remotes. If you are thinking of fitting an automatic gate kit, then I would have no hesitation in suggesting the Topens unit.

    So. Having fitted new gates, I decided to purchased these electronic gate openers. My gates are 100m from the house up a lane. I also wanted the gates to serve a purpose and be closed at night, but open during the day. To do that, I purchased an inexpensive WIFI gate module which is Alexa and app controlled, this in effect makes the gates fully automatic, also allowing me to programme schedules for closing at night and opening in the morning. it works great. Now the downsides. I purchased the heavy duty arms which are apparently suited to gates multiple times the weight and length of those I have. I did this specifically in the hope that they would then be more than capable of dealing with the gates I have. However, they struggle to hold the gates sturdily in an open position in wind, and in fact after a few windy nights I noticed that there was a lot of slack in the gate movement in the open position of about 8 or 9 inches. Re tightening the mounting bolts helped a bit, but Im not sure if these arms would hold up in a big storm. I would suggest closing the gates if the weather is particularly stormy. I have the electronic lock from Topens also, so when closed the gates are quite strongly braced agains winds. I would recommend buying the next model up from the spec for your gates to ensure the arms can cope. Also, one arm is about 4 seconds slower opening and closing that the other. I have approached Topens about this and await their solution. Given that there needs to be a delay in the slave gate opening anyway when the electronic lock is fitted (to give the lock time to disengage) , its not such a big deal. The power supply and brains of the gates are in two separate control boxes that must be mounted adjacent to the gates. Theres quite a lot of wiring to contend with, and although its not hard to wire up and get working, it took me several days to get everything tidied and connected the way I wanted it. I'm pleased overall so far. The remote blippers that come in the box work well, but I tend to use my phone which has the app for the wifi opener I fitted and this works just as well.
