Description
The DoorKing 9050-381 is a residential slide gate operator engineered for secure, dependable operation in single-family residential applications. Built on the proven 9050 platform, this model features a rugged galvanized steel chassis, durable metal cover, and a fail-secure release system that keeps the gate locked during power outages for applications where security is a priority.
Featuring a 1/2 HP AC motor, self-adjusting magnetic limit technology, and a quiet belt-drive system, the 9050-381 delivers smooth operation, simplified installation, and long-term reliability. Its compact footprint and versatile mounting options make it an excellent choice for homeowners seeking professional-grade access control performance.
Performance & Application
Designed for residential slide gates up to 20 feet in length and 700 pounds, the 9050-381 provides fast gate travel speeds of approximately 10 inches per second while maintaining quiet operation. The operator's self-adjusting magnetic limits eliminate traditional mechanical limit switches that can wear over time, reducing maintenance requirements and improving reliability.
Unlike the standard fail-safe configuration, the 9050-381 incorporates a fail-secure release mechanism that maintains gate security during power loss conditions. This makes it particularly well-suited for residential properties where controlled access and perimeter security are important considerations.
The operator includes programmable control functions, adjustable auto-close settings, plug-in loop detector compatibility, integrated convenience outlets, and Gate Tracker™ reporting capability for expanded system monitoring and access control integration.
