Description
The DoorKing 6500-381 is a dedicated secondary swing gate operator designed to work in tandem with the 6500-080 master unit. It delivers synchronized movement for the slave leaf in dual-gate installations, making bi-parting gates up to 18 feet long and 700 pounds per leaf operate smoothly and reliably.
- Tandem design for dual gate installations: Operates only when paired with the 6500-080 master operator to ensure synchronized, balanced gate motion.
- Heavy-gate capability: 1/2 HP continuous-duty motor handles gates up to 18 ft long and 700 lb per leaf.
- Breakaway hub: Protects internal gearing if the gate is struck, reducing damage and downtime.
- Two-piece articulating arm: Enables smooth, fast 90° opening with reliable clearance.
- Manual release with keyed access: Maintains gate operability during power failures or maintenance.
- Split housing design: Provides easy access for servicing and maintenance.
- Corrosion-resistant steel frame: Built for long-term outdoor use in various environments.
- Magnetic limit system: Electronic limits eliminate mechanical wear for extended life.
- Gear reduction: 60:1 worm gear in an oil bath delivers controlled torque and quiet operation.
- Pad-mounted installation: Requires a concrete pad for secure, stable mounting.
- Temperature range: 10°F to 115°F (-12°C to 62°C), enabling year-round operation in most climates.
- Housing and enclosure: Polypropylene split-cover design with weather-resistant protection.
- UL 325 compliance: Meets safety standards when used with the 6500-080 master and monitored safety devices.
- Independent operation note: Not designed to operate independently; must be used as the slave in a master-slave dual-gate setup.
The 6500-381 is the essential complement to the 6500-080, delivering reliable, synchronized performance for heavy, dual-leaf gates across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Its durable construction, magnetic limit system, and maintenance-friendly design help you achieve smooth operation, reduced wear, and dependable access control in environments where dual-gate automation is required.
