DNOR Model 212

The dependable everyday arm system for residential swing gates — quiet, adjustable and built to last.

2 / 4-channel remote
Dual-speed adjustment
72-hour backup battery

The Model 212 is DNOR’s everyday arm motor — the quiet, dependable choice for residential swing gates since 2016. A side-mounted arm system with infrared sensor, it opens and closes on a 2- or 4-channel remote with dual-speed adjustment, cushioning the gate at the end of each swing.

It is designed to last up to 10 years with regular basic maintenance, runs quietly enough for late-night arrivals, and can be opened manually with an Allen key whenever needed. Blackouts are covered by the rechargeable backup battery, like every DNOR system.

Model 212 — common questions

Is the DNOR 212 right for my house?

If you have a standard residential swing gate up to 3.5 metres and 350kg per wing, the 212 is the everyday choice. For heavier or oversized gates step up to the 212K; the 880 series covers folding gates.

How is the 212 different from the 712?

The 212 (2016) is the newer everyday arm motor; the 712 (2010) is the original DNOR arm motor with a wider working temperature range. Day to day they do the same job — our 712 vs 212 comparison walks through the differences.

The 212 is designed to last up to 10 years with regular cleaning and basic self-inspection, and DNOR’s nationwide dealer network handles service and parts throughout its life.
