Mighty Mule (FM100) Powder Coated Black Keypad Mounting Post, 22, Black

I actually bought two of these and they are very easy to install. Just dig a small hole and set with cement. They are made of a coated material so I do not expect them to rust. Excellent purchase!

Great product

Overall quite happy with the mounting post, the sections are very solid if the screws are properly tightened. You may need to use pliers or an extension (cheater pipe) on the provided Allen key to really crank them down but it is possible using nothing but the provided tool. Paint quality seems good and it arrived without any scratches. Will be using with a Ghost controls keypad which will require drilling new holes on the mounting plate, but not concerned with rust since it’s aluminum.

This stand for our gate opener seems sturdy and works for us. The only problem is that I wish the portion after the curve were longer. You have to pull your car extremely close to it to reach the keypad.

Post is easy to put together and works perfect for holding the key pad. To those that say it wobbles, I can see that if you don't tighten the set screws enough. I tightened mine as tight as I could get it with my hand and allen wrench. Then I put a box end wrench over the allen wrench and gave it another turn or so to tighten using the leverage of the box end wrench. No wobble and all is good. Don't be scared by those with a wobbly post, they just didn't tighten it enough.

Nice , solid and stable. I am using it on Ghost Control keypad so I had to drill the holes in the correct location. I suspected I would have to do that so no problem. Five minutes at the drill press and both poles were modified. Thank You.

We had no problems installing two of these poles. We even had to modify the mounting holes as we bought them for Ghost controls keypads. They look great. We didn't even get them deep enough due to our horrible bedrock. They are very sturdy and we'd totally buy them again. Not sure what is going on with people - tighten the sections up! And, cement is your friend!

UPDATE: 21Dec2016: Well, it turns out I did not assemble this the way it should have been, but the instructions make it easy to not know how to assemble without the horrible wiggling. You have to really jam the 2 poles together very tight before tightening down the set screws. Now there is no wiggling. Well, similar to other reviews, THIS POST WIGGLES LIKE CRAZY!!! because the way the 3 pole sections are connected is very poorly designed. Bad batch of connectors?? I don't know. It is as if they sent me the wrong parts. I would send it back immediately if I did not have ways to stablize it somehow with glue or additional bolts. It is completely unusable as designed. One would hardly be able to push the buttons accurately on an attached keypad the way it is. This REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. AT LEAST 3 stars off due to this extreme defect. I am surprised Mighty Mule would produce such a defective system considering their otherwise good quality products

The item got broke after using when we install, it is not free return they also will charge restocking fee on the top you will not get a full refund if u used item and u have to pay shipping on the top

The mounting post is a nice looking and functional product. Easy to dig into the ground with a spade, and we cemented in to make it sturdy. Only issue is that because it comes in pieces (easier to ship), the middle connector is wobbly so it still wobbles a bit despite a solid base. Make sure that you measure it to the height you want while sitting in a vehicle... it's easy to install it too low, and if you have to get out of the car that defeats the purpose.
