please view the video again.... not the autogate not strong... i think is the installation or the product problem. Do u all notice, there are no lock mechanism at the center(both door when shut)? Ordinary autogate come with a locking devices at the center of both door... that's to prevent ppl to open it by force...

time to electrify the gate...

That should do the job even if there're like 4 robbers
Security guards are not to be trusted as they won't lay their lifes to protect you

Bbbb... bbbuttt... you will be safe!!!

Good, any agent in Malaysia? I would like to install one.

as i know, most of auto gate doesnt come with lock mechanism... as usual the center part only come with triangle shape of black rubber thinggy to prevent the auto gate swing till inner part of car porch area...

Would have been different if there are dogs.
Not necessarily German Shepherd or Rottweiler or any particular guard dogs, I think a Mongrels or two would have been good enough.
But don't expect your Chihuahua to guard your house la...

That's why I am keeping guard dogs for my house!!! Hell yeah!

Dogs could produce a lot of noise, this is what u compensate for!

You have to ask the EM lock installer, if the EM are weather proof any train installer will be able to do it.

Added on June 18, 2011, 11:58 pmThe center part, on the door itself have a solenoid and this will prevent the door from being force out. Just like when no electric, use the key to turn the solenoid and push the gate open. This are all the older generation auto door. The newer version some don't have the center solenoid.

Haha, good CCTV image, poor autogate system.

Sue the autogate contractor, You are short changed !!!

Proper system should have a "auto lock" on the floor where the 2 side gate meet. Contractor to lazy to install as they need to enclose wiring in the concrete ground also.

With the auto lock, you need to be very strong to pull your gate open and this 5 to 10 seconds should give you a time window to save yourself.

weikee,

thanks for the explaination.... that's y need to becareful to evaluate when choosing auto gate.... old skool tech does not means not good... and new product does not necessary to be always good....

This part of the auto gate is also the safety hazard. People (especially old folks or visitors) can trip over the rubber piece that is fixed to the floor.

haha.this video is fake 1 la. where can so easy can open the gate? haha

u tried to forced "pull and push" any auto gate before?

The reaction of aunti looks real to me, very startled. Is solenoid same as em ? I went to someone's opis, duno its em locked, pushed it firmly with my body forward & it opened. The reception looked at me astonished.

Wouldn't say if the video is fake or not. But, generally the auto gate would not be able to be push open so easily as shown in the video. The auto gate system could be faulty or it was tempered with.

When you install already, let us know. We can try open for you

next time have to build a garage with a steel garage door. I wonder how the local MP views this sort of renovation to a normal house....lol.

Because of this video, I insisted my autogate guy to install the centre locking solenoid thing. It seems easy. They just cut hole in one gate and push a few cables through. Attach to the little box in the middle and connect it up.

just wondering the what is the price range for the EM lock? beberapa puluh or ratus ?

Around 200+ with the bracket. You need to controller unit.
