Someone have give me a used JackPro Auto gate included the arm. According to him it been used for a year but due to owner have change to bigger gate which existing not longer able to use (What so ever reason behind)

ANyone have any recommended auto gate sifu recommending (around Puchong) that could help to verify the equipment and install it if no issue find on the unit?
ANy any suggestion?

just share with everyone my autogate installed by a friend of mine. I'm using FAAC autogate and so far didn't give me any problem.

FAAC DoMoSwing

Lets me know if you need to get this autogate system.

what the price like???

I just googled it to get the pictures. But I think, the best way is to drive around the taman taman, and see which designs u like, snap a picture and ask the contractor to do it.

Mild steel gate is the cheapest, but can rust and hve to repaint to keep it good.

Wrought iron gates, must have hot dipped galvanised which is a process to coat the mild steel with a rust-proof material. After hotdip galvanise the metal must be powder coated to give a nice texture and color.

Stainless steel is the most expensive. But the steel can be very glaring under the hot sun. Stainless steel is generally maintenance free, but I think the looks are so so only. So far, I have not seen a nice s/s gate.

Sorry i can't really remember the exact price. If not mistaken 2k++

I'll get Mild Steel with powder coat, and this will last longer. It do rust but take bit longer. I'll prefer to use mild steel as is cheaper.

instead of powder coating, why not consider galvanised if rust is your concern?

Can you galvanised the Mild Steel? Or is there a ready product "galvanised steel" that they use? what is the price?

have anyone heard about Weigand-620w? it costs RM1300, so wanna know whether it is worth to go or not?

or better stick with DC MOTO GFM905 RM1200?

can give me the contact for dc moto905 rm1200? include installation?

YES, INCLUDE INSTALLATION BUT EXCLUDING CABLING.
BUT THE CONTRACTOR IS LOCATED AT MELAKA

This is the picture of my gate. My children said I am so shameless when I said this is the nicest gate on our street. They said I have omitted to disclose that, most houses on my street are very old.... haha...

Anyway, just want to share the pictur. Note that the track and the roller are stainless steel, and the gates are fixed to the pillar by way of a 4 ft high panel (fixed to the pillar by a few wal plugs). The bottom part of the gate is not wood (cant remember if its aluminium or powder coated steel) because it would be lighter and maintenance free (vs the wood type). The flowers and the leaves are a little bit more special than those seen normally, look a bit 3D.

This guy service so far I think ok lah... I also got him to do my pergola, parameter fencing grille, grill for front door, and folding grille for my balcony door too. The flowers and leaves are not too bad, and the design look better than those I see in the pattern book (that grille guys carry).

how much does it cost u for the gate and how much for the auto gate machine ??

The gate (16' x 5') is RM4,768 and motor is RM1,880. The wrought iron comes with hot dipped galvanised and powdercoated.

what the cost of "roller are stainless steel"?

Part of the cost of the gate... tell the contractor when u order. I saw some people, the bracket also s/s but all this will add up the cost.

My price includes stainless steel bolt, nut and railing (track).

Galvanising is the process of coating a thin layer of zinc onto the mild steel members. Hot-dipped galvanising is the done by dipping the completed mild steel members (in this case, the gate) into a molten bath of zinc at very high temperature.

As for the price, it will be slightly more than those non-galvanised. This is due to the galvanising cost and also the increase in the thickness of the members to be galvanised. There is a minimum thickness of the mild steel member for galvanising. If the member are too thin, it could warp during the hot-dip galvanising process.

If you are concern with rust, then hot-dip galvanising is the way to go. My gate is galvanised.

kelvyn, what is the Chinese term for Galvanise? When i ask for quote worry they don't know this English term.
