FAQ

Common questions.

Does it work with my existing gate motor?
ForgeGuard works with most 12V and 24V DC gate operators — swing gates, slide gates, and barriers. If your actuator runs on 12V or 24V DC and has a relay or dry contact input, it will work. Contact us before ordering if you're unsure — we'll tell you straight.
Do I need the cloud plan to use it?
No. Every ForgeGuard unit runs a local web interface accessible on your network — open/close, view logs, manage schedules — all without cloud. The cloud plan adds remote access from anywhere, AI alerts, phone notifications, and AI camera features (face and plate recognition).
What's included in the first free month?
The first month includes full cloud access at the tier matching your product — Basic for the Controller, Camera plan for the Camera Bundle. After 30 days you'll be billed at $9/month or $19/month. You can cancel anytime from your account.
Can I install it myself?
Yes. If you're comfortable connecting wires and can safely work around DC electrical systems, you can install ForgeGuard without a contractor. The included guide covers everything step by step. For 240V AC systems upstream, consult a qualified electrician — but the ForgeGuard unit itself runs entirely on low-voltage DC.
What is the DIY kit exactly?
The DIY kit is a digital product: the ForgeGuard OS software, a complete sourcing list of off-the-shelf components (everything is standard hardware — no proprietary parts), full assembly and wiring diagrams, and configuration instructions. You source the parts and assemble the unit. Estimated parts cost is $80–$120 from standard suppliers.
Why does it take 4 weeks?
We build each unit to order — not stocked from a shelf. This lets us test and configure each unit before it ships and keeps quality consistent. The 4-week window is the worst case — most orders ship in 3 weeks.
What about warranties and returns?
Hardware is covered by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. We offer a 30-day return window for units that don't work with your hardware — must be unused and in original condition. DIY kits are non-refundable once downloaded.
