All gates have the same few requirements to work. 

1. They need power. Check the breaker that supplies power to your gate and reset it. 
2. Clear any obstructions away from the photo eyes that monitor the gate opening. Snow is the number one cause in the winter for gates not opening. 
3. Replace the batteries in the remote controls. Cold weather and time degrade battery life and it may be as simple as the gate isn’t receiving a signal to open. 
4. If these basic steps don’t work, then you can call us at (406) 752-0892 and we will be happy to walk you through model specific steps or come out ot your location and provide service to your operator.

Maintenance is a large factor. How much time you want to spend shoveling snow so the gate functions properly may sway your decision on a gate type.
