Chamberlain 915GA User manual

®GATE LOCK
MODEL 915GA
BEFORE STARTING
Read and follow all instructions. Check the carton inventory.
Mounting hardware is not provided. Refer to a local hardware store for
necessary mounting hardware.
• The gate lock is designed to use 5/16" diameter mounting hardware.
• For tubular gates, the following items are needed: carriage bolts,
washers, and nuts.
• For chain link gates, the following items will be needed: U-bolts,
carriage bolts, washers, and nuts.
Ensure that the gate closes properly. When the gate lock and gate bracket
are properly aligned, the gate lock will latch onto the gate bracket pin.
NOTE: Some installations may require the gate bracket to be recessed in
the mounting post so the bracket and lock will be flush and lock properly.
Instead of recessing the gate bracket, a spacer may be added between the
gate lock and the gate.
Size the spacer before attempting to mount the gate lock. If installing the
gate lock on a Push-to-Open gate, the gate lock must be installed on the
opposite side of the gate.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: If the gate lock is being installed on a dual gate, the gate lock
must be mounted on gate 1 (primary gate) and the gate bracket must be
mounted on gate 2 (secondary gate). The lock/bipart delay switch on the
operator will allow gate 1 to close first followed by gate 2.
1. Disconnect all power to the gate operator:
• Disconnect batteries.
• Disconnect AC PWR/SOLAR connector.
2. Remove the gate release pin to allow gate to swing freely during the
installation of the gate lock.
3. Align the gate lock and gate bracket to the edge of the gate using a
level to keep gate lock and bracket horizontal.
4. Mark and drill holes for the gate bracket and gate lock.

WIRING
Connect the Wire to the Control Box
1. Open the cover of the control box by loosening the four screws.
2. Run the wire back to the control box. Use the cable ties to secure the wire to the gate.
NOTE: Make sure that the gate does not pinch, bind, or rub the wire. Make sure that the wire does not sag or
touch the ground. Never run the wire along the bottom edge of the gate between the gate and the ground.
3. Feed the wire into the control box through an available knockout
located at the bottom of the control box. If necessary use a
screwdriver and hammer to open a new knockout.
4. Insert the watertight connector and tighten with the watertight
connector nut.

using GATE 2 buttons.
7. Press the LEARN LIMITS button to set the close
limit for the gate(s).
8. The SET CLOSE LIMIT LED will turn off. The limits
are now set.
9. Using a programmed remote control or single
button control (SBC) run the gate(s) from the
close limit to the open limit. After reaching the

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Follow these steps ONLY if the gate lock fails to activate properly.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
The gate lock does not activate. 1. Verify that all wiring is correct.
2. Check wiring connections. It is possible that a wire is inserted too far into a terminal block, grabbing the
insulation instead of the copper wire.
3. Verify that all terminal blocks are properly seated on the control board. If these blocks are offset by one
position, it can prevent correct operation.
4. The gate bracket pin may be binding and preventing the lock from properly sliding. Verify that the bracket and
gate lock are properly aligned. Verify that the gate lock can be manually opened with the key when the gate is
closed. Do not push against the gate when manually opening the gate lock.
The gate lock does not activate
fast enough to release the
bracket pin in order to allow the
gate to open.
1. The gate may be moving too quickly for the gate lock to properly activate. Set the Lock/Bipart delay to the ON
position.
2. The gate bracket pin may be binding and preventing the lock from properly sliding. Verify that the bracket and
gate lock are properly aligned. Verify that the gate lock can be manually opened with the key when the gate is
closed. Do not push against the gate when manually opening the gate lock.
3. Check wiring connections. A loose connection may cause intermittent operation of the gate lock, delaying its
response to activate properly.
The gate reverses unexpectedly. 1. Ensure that there are no obstructions impeding the travel of the gate.
2. Reprogram limits. See page 7.
3. Readjust force setting according to the operator owner’s manual.
