DoorKing 1601-567 14ft 2-Piece Octagonal Aluminum Barrier Arm | DKS 1601 UPS-Shippable Gate Arm
DoorKing 1601-567 — 14ft 2-Piece Octagonal Aluminum Barrier Gate Arm
Get the premium octagonal arm profile with the added convenience of standard UPS shipping — the DoorKing 1601-567 is the 2-piece version of DoorKing's top-tier octagonal aluminum arm, engineered exclusively for the DoorKing 1601 Barrier Gate Operator.
The Smart Shipping Solution — Ships UPS, No Freight Required: The biggest practical advantage of the 1601-567 over the 1-piece 1601-555 is its shipping method. The 1601-567 ships UPS in two pieces, eliminating the need for expensive freight-only shipping that is required for the single-piece 14-foot arm. For installers, service companies, and facility managers ordering remotely, this translates to faster delivery, lower shipping costs, and far less logistical complexity.
Two 7-Foot Sections — Simple Assembly: The 1601-567 consists of two 7-foot arm sections that assemble into a complete 14-foot arm using a coupler. Holes are pre-drilled in the arm sections for straightforward assembly. The two-piece design assembles quickly on-site with no special tools required, making it equally suitable for professional installers and facilities maintenance staff.
Octagonal Profile — Maximum Strength & Rigidity: The octagonal shape is designed to resist wind and heavy use, minimizing wear on the barrier gate opener. Compared to round or rectangular arms, the octagonal profile distributes stress more evenly, providing superior resistance to flex and vibration in high-cycle, high-traffic environments.
LED Signal Lighting Compatible: The 1601-567 accepts a reverse edge sensor with optional LED lighting. When lowered, the edge sensor is lit with red LEDs sending a clear signal for drivers to stop. When raised, the LEDs transition to green — easily alerting drivers when to pull forward. This active red/green LED signal system enhances safety and traffic flow at busy access points such as parking structures, HOA entrances, and commercial facilities.
Compatible Models: The 1601-567 is designed for use on a DoorKing 1601 barrier gate operator ONLY. It is not compatible with the 1602 or 1603 operators.
