RECOMMENDED OPTION: Significantly reduced shipping costs compared to one-piece model
SAFETY & SHIPPING ADVISORY: We strongly recommend selecting the two-piece arm kit (KIT-1601-567-REV) for substantial shipping cost savings. Single-piece arms over 8 feet typically incur shipping costs approximately three times higher than two-piece alternatives. Both options provide identical safety features and performance once installed.
IMPORTANT: While the reversing edge provides valuable secondary protection, it is NOT a replacement for primary safety devices like loops or photocells. Always install appropriate vehicle detection systems as your primary safety measure.

Note: For complete barrier gate safety, DoorKing requires the use of appropriate primary safety devices such as in-ground loops or photocells to protect vehicles passing underneath the barrier arm. The reversing edge sensor in this kit provides an important secondary safety feature but is not intended to be the sole safety system. Always follow manufacturer installation guidelines and safety recommendations to ensure proper system operation and compliance with safety standards.
