What's out there
Wildwood's large, wooded lots mean long driveways and gates that are often far from the house and far from power. Solar and battery openers are common out here, and so are the problems that come with trees: shade on the panel, falling limbs, and leaves in the track.
What Wildwood calls are about
- Solar openers dying in winter or under summer tree cover
- Remotes that don't reach the gate from the car
- Limb damage to gate leaves and operator arms
- Gates on sloped drives that drag or bind
- Keypads and wireless entry at the road
Good to know
Batteries in solar openers wear out. If yours has gotten weaker each winter, mention the age of the battery when you call.
Rough or long driveways make it easier to wait for a pro if you know where your manual release is. Look it up in the manual before you need it.
