No, but I spec'd the gates for our community after the original gates that the develper installed were garbage.
Mot decent gate controllers have inputs for 'loop detectors'- these are big wire loops that sense metal- or cars- on the road. All gates should have two or three. On a keyed entry, the loop in the gate will prevent the gate closing on the car, the loop past the gate will prevent the gate closing after the car has cleared the first loop. On an unattended exit, the first loop opens the gate, then the last two prevent closing.
The quality of staff working for gate installers is astonishing. I wound up doing most of the programming. I would not be surprised if they forgot to connect the loops or failed to tell the controller to look for a loop input.\
Get them for damaged, loss of use and Diminished Value. Wait until they acknowledge the fault before you take on the last item.
