DoorKing 6500 Secondary Swing Gate Operator

DoorKing 6500 Secondary Swing Gate Operator

The DoorKing 6500 Secondary Swing Gate Operator is specifically designed for bi-parting (dual) gate applications, working in conjunction with a DoorKing 6500 primary operator. These secondary units cannot function as standalone operators but create a synchronized pair with the primary unit for smooth dual gate operation. Like the primary models, secondary operators feature the same innovative split housing design for easy maintenance without having to remove the gate arm.

Important Note: These operators CANNOT be used as standalone devices and must be paired with a corresponding primary DoorKing 6500 operator.
