I have a double inward swinging gate with DC/solar powered gate opener on my "new" driveway.
The openers are linear actuators. The gate has a solenoid operated latch to "lock" the gates together once closed. Operation is by remote control or gatepost mounted keypad.
Everything operates open loop, which is a concern (I'm an EE), but in the three years that it has been in place, I have had few issues aside from adjustment issues, which I corrected myself once out of initial warranty.

That said, such systems will be a continual maintenance issue. If you are not technically inclined, I would advise that you establish a relationship with a nearby well established and reliable fence/gate opener installer (Where will one find one of those?).
