Hi guys im looking for some advice

i am wanting to wire up some underground electric gate motors i have seen on ebay you can get a full kit with motors and control unit fobs and everything but these kits are very expensive in the range of 6/700 quid 

so i have been looking at a set of second hand gate motors just the motors on there own 

what i want to ask is i have a control unit set from a electric roller shutter door ass there anyway i can wire the 2 gate motors up to the roller shutter door unit and use that to work them ?

many thanks

 
Have a google on gate control .there are some very strict rules...even stricter since the death of a little girl due to poor design installation

it will need

approach sensors

obstruction sensors

possibly auto reverse on obstruction

delay

ability to open master gate before slave and reverse

there are trapping distance/gap specifics to be considered

along with a shed load of other stuff

just saying
