Doorking 6524-381 Solar Swing Gate Operator 24VDC

Solar-Powered Swing Gate Operator for Secure Off-Grid Installations

The Doorking 6524-381 is a dedicated solar-powered swing gate operator designed for secure installations where AC power is not available. Ideal for residential, commercial, industrial, and restricted-access environments, this operator supports single or dual gate configurations using 24VDC solar input and offers reliable performance without trenching or utility power.

Built around the 4100-018 control board, the 6524-381 supports monitored safety devices and access system integration. While solar-ready, this model does not include batteries, a solar panel, or monitored entrapment protection—all of which are required for UL 325 compliance and must be purchased separately. For complete installation, Doorking recommends the Solar Power Kit (P/N: 2000-070), which includes two 18 Ah batteries and a 10-watt 24V panel.
