Keeping your home secure is important, especially when you have pets and small children. A sliding gate is an affordable and easy-to-maintain security solution, but like many gates, it's prone to getting stuck, which can put a (pet) bite on your wallet.

Open operators, a type of gate opener, help keep your sliding gate running smoothly. The open operator is attached to a sliding gate's track (or rails) and opens and closes the gate using a motor. When installed correctly, the open operator should open and close the gate smoothly without jamming or binding.

MOOZ Reviews has tested over 50 open operators over the years, evaluating their performance, ease of installation, and ease of maintenance. Our top picks are the best open operators for sliding gates.
