CO-Z Sliding Gate Opener Stopped Working. Best Gate Opener for the Money?

In this video, our Co-Z gate opener stopped working. If you recall, we installed this 2 years and 3 months ago. So far, it's worked great, but this week it stopped working. The gate will open, but it will not close. If you remember, we paid like $200 for this unit and didn't expect it to last very long. So, I guess it did about what we expected it to. So, for the money, it cost us about $8-10/month if you look at the purchase price. Not that bad. I think I'll purchase another one and install it. Seems like a good price vs. some of the $1800 Lift Master openers out there.

I love how you posting this video has made you the go-to for all technical support.
Please keep up the diligent work! Haha

I installed 2 of these gate openers 2 years ago and thank God haven't had any problems. Mine are the 1400 lbs one.Good luck brother it is still a good deal. You can't get a gate for under $2, 000.

Thank you for the vids on this Co-Z unit. I just bought a similar unit and will be installing it within the next few days. I've been watching your videos and taking notes. Very helpful information. Thanks for sharing. 👍

I bought mine a few months after you got yours. It has worked great the past 4 years and then yesterday it wouldn't open. The chain was broken and I repaired that only to discover the gate wasn't stopping when the magnets made contact with the limit control switch when opening or closing. I suspect that's what broke the chain and I am thinking the limit control swith has gone bad. Now I'm torn between looking for a new limit control replacement switch ot just getting a new unit. They are not that expensive and I'm afraid to invest in a limit switch only to have something else go bad.

I know this is old video but let me comment what I think is happening. I too have this motor for about 7years still going strong. I’d installed about 6 of these units. When I watched your video, I’d noticed that your gate doesn’t have a stopper at the end, which the magnetic sensor is passing the mark on the motor. When you try to close it, since the magnetic has passed the mark, the magnetic sensor is reading as if it needs to be opened again, that’s why is behaving such way. Put a gate stop on the wheel or the gate exactly where the magnetic meets the sensor while the gate is opened. Hope this helps.

I like mine too got mine in August of 2019 and last week did the same situation yours doing now it locked up completely even when you use the key I had to take the chain off to move it but I will order another one when I get the money it was worth the money and time it's been a real good opener anyhow that's my comment have a nice day

Good video. Mine does the same thing. I'll check the sensor wire tomorrow. Thanks!

Try flipping the the reverse switch on the bottom half of the circuit board.
I had this problem and I flipped the little black direction switch and it worked !
After it starts back working you can Actually put it back in its original position, or look leave it as is

Scott quick question on the sensors there are three lights green yellow and red, do you know if all three lights are to be on? My gate flopped after I posted that I had a loose wire, now I noticed the yellow light is not on. Thanks for any help.

Hi. I see at Amazon that this gate opener is a Gear type which needs a track to run on it. How did you get it to work on Chain rolling mechanism?

[DinkDiggler]

Thanks for posting this video! How do I open it up to access the internals? My gate folks mounted it about waist high and built it into our fence - wild.

I'm late but it's simple. Ur magnet moved a bit. Make sure they don't trigger the opp sensor. Or just reverse open and close it and you'll be fine.

Hello just bought this unit… can you tell me if the power cable came with the unit and what other tools are needed for installation thank you

[victorbejaranojr.]

What you have is a limit switch/ sensor problem. There should be a reset button; cycle and/ or test the sensor on the closing side. the system is sencing the closed position thats why it does not move. This system is affordable, you must conduct weekly maintenance by cleaning the track, making adjustments to the chain and sensors as needed. As you operate it and it moves back and forth foreign objects and general movement will cause misadjustments which must be corrected...

Hi im having the same problem. Which sensor wire are you talking about that came lose? I only remember hooking up the power wires. And had to position the magnet. Other then that i dont remember any sensor wires.

Thank you for being honest ♥️ please let us know if you got it fixed & how. 👋🏻

[abn]

My coz gate doing the same thing. Any suggestions? I think it has do with the sensor since they fixed my drive way and impacted

[jimweda]

I'm having the exact problem but on after 2 months. If I can figure it out I'll make sure to post here.

So what did you end up doing? I'd think that if you could get a motherboard it would solve the problem.
