Check the block above, then shop through our link: Gate Operators Direct.
Step 1: Use free shipping in the continental US
The site states “FREE SHIPPING IN CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.” Since gate operators are heavy equipment where shipping could otherwise be expensive, confirming this applies to your order is worth doing before checkout.
Step 2: Sign up for the newsletter
The homepage’s own signup prompt jokingly reads “Subscribe to Our Newsletter — No thanks, I’d rather pay more,” implying the newsletter carries a discount for signing up. Subscribing before you buy is a direct way to access that.
Step 3: Choose your operator type correctly first
The site separates Slide Gate Operators from Swing Gate Operators, with specific models (like the Eagle 2000 series in multiple horsepower and configuration options). Confirming which type and horsepower your gate actually needs before buying avoids an expensive wrong-fit purchase and return.
Step 4: Apply a promo code at checkout
- Choose Slide or Swing gate operator based on your gate type, and the correct horsepower model.
- Add compatible accessories (remotes, sensors, control boards) to the cart.
- Enter your promo code in the discount field.
- Confirm the total (including free continental-US shipping) dropped before paying.
Other ways to save
- Use free continental-US shipping, stated on the homepage.
- Sign up for the newsletter for its implied discount.
- Confirm your gate type and horsepower before buying, to avoid an expensive wrong-fit return.
- Buy accessories (remotes, sensors, control boards) in the same order as your operator to consolidate shipping.
