Your safety is our primary concern.

Numerous web sites unaffiliated with DoorKing, Inc., now advertise DoorKing gate operators for sale. While the prices may seem attractive, there are more important factors to consider. Our concerns when buying from an unknown web site vendor include some of these following issues.

Vehicular gate operator products provide convenience and security. However, gate operators must use high levels of force to move gates and most people underestimate the power of these systems and do not realize the potential hazards associated with an incorrectly designed or installed system. If an automated vehicular gate system is not properly designed, installed, used and maintained, serious injuries or death can result.

In addition to these potential hazards, automated vehicular gate systems must be installed in accordance with the UL-325 and ASTM F2200 Safety Standards. Most lay persons are unaware of, or are not familiar with, these standards.

Buying vehicular gate operators from an unknown web site that offers no installation means that the customer becomes responsible for the proper design, installation and maintenance of the gate system. This typically means that the customer will have to contract for the installation, usually at a higher cost than if the equipment and installation where purchased from a single source. You should also consider on-site post-sale support. Many web vendors simply do not offer this type of service.

Because of these reasons, and to maintain the highest level of consumer safety and customer support, DoorKing has chosen to market its products only to professional companies who are licensed to sell, install and service vehicular gate operating systems and access control equipment. DoorKing currently has a network of over 2000 professional dealers, distributors and representatives nationwide.
