What the kit includes — and receiver capacity
Standard sliding kits include the motor, control board with built-in rolling-code receiver, and typically two remotes. The receiver stores many more — most boards hold dozens of remote identities — so every family member and driver can carry one, all paired to the same board and erasable individually if one is lost.
Adding spare remotes later
Spares pair at any time with the learn button — no technician needed, steps ship with every remote. Order spares matched to your board (a photo confirms the family), and quantity orders for compounds take better pricing. Lost remote? Erase-and-re-pair wipes the lost unit from the receiver so it can never open your gate again.
Beyond the remote — key switch and wall controls
A pillar-mounted key switch gives staff access without handing out remotes, wiring straight to the same board terminals — the practical backup when a remote battery dies at the worst moment. Wired wall buttons inside the property work the same way. All controls coexist: remote, key and button all fire the same gate.

FAQ
How many remotes come with a sliding gate kit?
Typically two — and the receiver stores dozens more, so spares for the whole household pair to the same board.
Can I add remotes without a technician?
Yes — the learn-button procedure takes under a minute and written steps ship with every remote.
I lost a remote — is my gate at risk?
Erase the receiver memory and re-pair the remaining remotes; the lost unit becomes useless. We guide you through it on WhatsApp.
Can staff open the gate without remotes?
A key switch on the pillar wires to the same board — keyed access with no remote to lose.
Do old remotes survive a board upgrade?
If the new board is a different receiver family, new remotes are needed — we flag this before you buy so the total cost is clear.
