Lighter gate means anyone can just lift it and derail easily??

Unless the gate weight tons, if not SS or aluminium still easy to derail. Just need a crowbar. You see how some "security" area, the gate have two rails, that will be hard to derail.

Yeah I tend to agree with weikee. When I first started researching on folding gates, there were comments like its very easy to lift-up and derail it (hence not safe). But at the same time, heavy gates also tend to wear out the motor faster, hence making it easier to be worn out.

After going to fairs and testing out trying to lift up fully aluminium folding gates, its really not that easy to derail it. And frankly in Malaysia today, robbers don't need to derail your gate to get into the house, they will wait for you that's all.

So to me aluminium sort of gives the best balance (in my view), its light, rust-free (that is what they guaratee), and modern looking.

Anyone has reliable and reasonable agent contact for DCmoto GFM-925 installation at Melaka ?

Thanks.

Bro, mind to share the contact and have you install the autogate already?

hi guys... can recommend contacts for auto-gate with motor, alarm and sensor??? gonna make a 14 feet gate for hse...

Curious where can get a better looking wall push switch for autogate. Mine is those 2 button type (Press 1, Press 2) that supplied by developer. Any place in Klang Valley have better selection?

Any place sell light switch will do.

Just wondering do you all have any preference for swing type or sliding type auto gate?

Any particular pros & cons for each type?

how is the reliability of OAE gates?

Stick to any autogate system to your preference and forget installing alarm and sensor. Is a total waste of money. What's the point of having the alarm when it won't inform you when there is a alarm triggered via phone calls? Unlike your home alarm system is connected to your house phone line or GSM module, it will immediately calls to the numbers programmed in your alarm system to inform you of an alarm triggered. My advice, don't waste money on alarm system and sensor from autogate system. Is pointless.

For DCMoto GFM 925W already has a built-in siren inside the control panel. Which there is no extra cost from my installation since is provided in the package. You have the panic alarm trigger function came with it. That's good enough to chase them away.

Get a proper alarm system if you want to protect your assets inside your house.

Remember the golden rule of autogate, is only meant for mild protection and the convenience of having it that you do not have to get out of your car to operate your gate system. Any theft can break in to your house no matter what autogate you install when it has big intention to break-in anyway. They could have just climb in instead.

I just installed wall mounted folding auto gate systems which cost me RM1900.

Are you using DCMoto GFM925W? The movement wasn't smooth to your experience is due to the fact of having 3 speed movement. Is your swing gate installed with ball bearing side holder?

first swing to 45 degree is high speed
when it reach 70 degree is medium speed
when it almost reach 90-100 degree then is the cushion speed

It's programmed to move in such a way it doesn't wobble vigorously upon opening and closing.

Compared with screw-driven arm autogate such as OAE, it only depends on two speed. One is running at 24V and 10-12V for low speed. DCMoto GFM 925W operated at max volt of 16V and then reduce to 12v then 10v.

For DCMoto slider, you bound to experience this jerking effect. The reason behind is because of having 3 speed movement.

Why 3 speed for sliding motor? Reason as below :

- minimize having loud banging during opening and closing (when coming close to the end of the opening or closing sequence)
- Since it doesn't utilize magnetic/contact switch to stop the gate from operating. It release on counting mechanism to operate (consider it as the most advance technology ever created in the history of autogate) Even Italy DC Motor still relied on contact switch to operate.
- during the final speed (cushion speed) the voltage has been dropped to the lowest some where 8v-10v it bounds to be like harmonic frequency sound due to low power to push the gate. Is very normal to experience this effect.
- because this kind of DCMoto sliding operates, it will open and close the gate firmly. Thats when you hear those internal gears being tighten. Not to worry of reliability, it will last. Because it's gear-oil filled gearbox which can last somewhere 5 to 10 years depending on how well you take care your sliding gate roller bearings.

It depends on your folding gate.

Anything less than 14 feet will felt slow for DCMoto GFM 925W, reason is the length is too short and it has 3 speed movement. Doesn't have much space for the high speed to maximize it's potential

I would recommend anywhere from 14ft to 20ft. The GFM925W works wonderful.

Image below is a 23feet length wrought iron gate. Is very heavy due to 1.9mm thickness in which standard iron gates uses 1.6mm

Operation time is roughly 12 seconds. And it's powered by DCMoto 925W

Want to install autogate for my house.

Pm me ur contact.

Very much agreeable and good logics. Helps me clear the doubts alot.

I'm looking for dcmotor to install for my gate. Location is setia alam, anyone hv the contact please pm me, many thanks

Hi any vendor covering rawang area. Need motor & gate for a 12" length

Hey guys, seem like DCMoto 925 is one of the highly recommended motor. My contractor has recommended me D'nor 712 for a 13ft folding gate. Any users can comment on this brand?
