Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question about your gate motor? You’re not alone. Here are some of the most common things our customers ask us.
How do I find the name, brand, or model of my gate motor?
Most gate motors will have a label or metal plate on the outside or inside of the motor housing. This typically includes the brand name (e.g. Centsys, Ditec, Nice), the model number (e.g. D5, Robus 400), and sometimes a serial number.
Here’s how to check:
-
Open the motor housing (if safe to do so) using the supplied key.
-
Look on the motor casing or internal components for a label, engraving, or metal plate.
-
Check your original manual or remote—the branding often matches the motor installed.
If you’re not sure, just take a clear photo of the motor and text or email it to us. We’ll help identify it for you.
-
How do I take my gate motor out of gear (manual override)?
Most automatic gate motors can be manually disengaged in case of power failure or for servicing access. The process varies slightly depending on the brand and model, but here’s a general guide:
Centsys D5 Sliding Gate Motor
-
Use the supplied key to unlock and open the motor housing.
-
Locate the round manual release knob (usually grey or black).
-
Turn the knob anti-clockwise until it loosens fully.
-
You can now manually slide the gate open or closed.
-
To re-engage, turn the knob clockwise until tight.
Centsys Swing Gate Motor
Insert the key into the lock on top of the motor and turn. This will immediately release the gate for manual movement.
Italian Brands (Ditec, Nice, ATA, etc.)
-
Use the supplied key or Allen key to unlock and remove the top motor cover.
-
Locate the manual release mechanism—usually a knob, wheel, or lever.
-
Insert the manual release key and turn it anti-clockwise to disengage.
-
The gate can now be operated manually. Re-engage by turning the release clockwise.
Important:
Always ensure the area is safe (no vehicles or people in motion) before disengaging the motor. For older models, especially swing gates, power should be turned off before accessing the unit.
-
