PSS Store helps answer an important question many home and business owners have about reliable gate operators. Simply put, who makes a good gate opener?

With many brands in the market, it’s often hard to gauge how to select the right one. Many buyers face similar dilemmas when it comes to choosing the right price, brand, style, compatibility and usage. To help simplify the decision making process, the professionals at PSS Store created a breakdown of each brand based on usage, price and compatibility.

  • LiftMaster – A product line from Chamberlain Group, LiftMaster has served many happy customers for over 100 years. As a revolutionary company in the gate operator space, LiftMaster leads the way in innovative technology, brilliant engineering and reliable parts. But what about price? Considering other comparable products, LiftMaster is usually not the most expensive in the market. With that said, more than likely you will get more than you pay for with LiftMaster.

  • CAME by LiftMaster – Essentially one of the biggest partnerships in the gate operator industry is the one made by Italy-based CAME and LiftMaster. The partnership resulted in superior technology and intuitive engineering. Since many of the new developments hit the market, prices remain relatively high. But who doesn’t like the latest and greatest technology? Early adapters are enjoying the benefits of features like increasing the range of operation for remote controls and using the Security+ 2.0 radio technology that eliminates frequency interference. 
  • DoorKing (DKS) – Established in 1948, DoorKing is a long lasting leader of gate access controls.
