DoorKing 9595 Maximum Security Slide Gate Opener

The DoorKing 9595 is a Class III and Class IV maximum security slide gate operator rated for gates up to 28,000 lbs (12,700 kg) and 160 ft (48 m) in length. Powered by a 10 HP motor through a 10:1 continuous oil bath gearbox with an included magnetic brake, the 9595 is specified for the most demanding access control applications — border crossings, military installations, airports, seaports, large correctional facilities, power generation sites, and critical infrastructure perimeters — where maximum gate capacity and manual override capability are both project requirements. Class III and IV are restricted-access commercial and industrial classifications. This operator is not for residential use.

10:1 Gearbox with Included Magnetic Brake

The defining characteristic of the 9595 is its 10:1 gearbox paired with an included magnetic brake. Unlike the 9590's 30:1 fail-secure configuration, the 9595 can be back-driven with mechanical assistance once power is removed. This makes it the correct specification for facilities where manual gate operation during a power failure or emergency is an operational requirement — where first responders, security personnel, or maintenance crews need the ability to move the gate without a mechanical disconnect procedure. The magnetic brake holds the gate securely during normal power operation; the 10:1 ratio allows controlled manual override when the situation requires it.

#100 Roller Chain Drive

The 9595 drives the gate with #100 high-tensile steel roller chain, providing a direct mechanical linkage that will not slip and is unaffected by ice, water, dirt, oil, or grease. The unit ships with 20 ft of #100 roller chain and chain brackets. A chain tray kit (p/n 2601-270) is available in 10-ft sections and is recommended for gates exceeding 20 ft.

Electrical and Control

The 9595 accepts 208, 230, or 460 VAC single or three-phase input. Adjustable solid-state variable speed control delivers slow-start and slow-stop operation at 1–2 ft/sec. Anti-tailgating, adjustable partial open, and selectable stop/reverse loop functions are standard. Limit switches are direct-driven internally and cannot be tampered with from outside the housing. Two 115 VAC outlets and two plug-in loop detector ports (DKS detectors only) are integrated. Built-in diagnostics check for specific fault conditions at the operator.

Gate Tracker Reporting

The 9595 includes Gate Tracker output compatible with DKS 1833, 1835, 1837, and 1838 access control systems (2358 expansion board required) for centralized operator data logging across multi-gate facilities.

The 9595 is ETL Listed by Intertek, Made in the USA, and backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Operating range: 10°F to 140°F (-12°C to 62°C).

9595 vs 9590 — Which Model?

Both the 9595 and 9590 run a 10 HP motor and handle gates up to 28,000 lbs and 160 ft. The gearbox is the decision point. The 9590 uses a 30:1 gearbox in a fail-secure configuration — the gate cannot be moved at all without a mechanical disconnect when power is removed, which is the correct posture when maintaining a closed perimeter under any condition is the requirement. The 9595 uses a 10:1 gearbox with an included magnetic brake and can be back-driven with mechanical assistance after power loss — correct when manual gate operation during an outage or emergency is an operational necessity. If your facility's emergency response plan requires the ability to manually open the gate without tools or a disconnect procedure, the 9595 is the specification.
