which model of DCMOTO are you looking at? 903 or 905? how much?

DCmoto...905 i think...have been quoted 1.6k from few people...i think the price quite standard

do you know what's the difference between 903 & 905? cant seem to find much info about 903.

903 and 905, look the same only difference is controller. Source:-

For more information on the difference, refer HERE

seems like the difference between DCMOTO 903 and 905 is only on the controller board and remote control. how much is the price difference between 903 and 905?

If I recall correctly, the difference is only abt rm 200-300

gfm-905 premium, I got my quotation for a full set (including photobeam, multifunction keypad, antispy transmitter, etc) + installation for RM2500. and this quotation was obtained 2 years ago (I still keep the quotation till now).

Higher end controller, cost more to dupe.

this mean the 903 is using the typical remote control that can be duplicated?

It say 903 using fix code, so it could be using the 8 dip switch.

Anyone knows where to buy the rubber piece in the middle of auto gate that stops/holds the gate on closing?

Should be the same ask what you can get in hardware store. Ask them about stopper.

tried to ask a few shops around my place but they dont seem to carry the stopper. might need to search other bigger stores.

wonder whether ace hardware carries such product?

Having the rubber stopper at the middle of the gate is a safety hazard. People get tripped over. Nowadays, mostly new auto gate do not use that anymore.

Need to make another big decision this week.
Its time to finalize on the autogate.
My contractor is chasing me as he need to build the front gate wall.

Going for folding type autogate.

There is 2 type or arm (I am going for the folding gate with tracks type).
1. The one with thick arm
2. The one with thin flat bars that goes underneath the gate.

Which one to choose?

Having a folding type gate is a good choice as it avoids the gate from hitting the car parked outside your gate when opening the gate. Just make sure the rail are firmly installed to avoid having problem of the undulating rail later on. Try to use a stainless steel rail. e.g stainless water pipe
As for choosing whether to go for the arm type or the surface mounted rotary type; both have its pros & cons.
Try to avoid those floor mounted underground motor. They are the cheapest; but may not be lasting. The underground motor gets flooded due to seepage of water.

Thanks for the info.
I understand that arm type allow the gate to fold in less (because of the arm type location) compared to the type with the thinner bars that drive the gate by pushing and pulling the underside of the gate (old type usually motor underground. now days motor above ground). Is this true?

surface mounted rotary type (what is this?)

Which ones are more durable?

Sorry for the questions, just need info for decision making

The conventional method, need more expensive labor, and the center of the gate will need solenoid because the conventional method use normal gear, where the arm type uses screw thread mechanism, which require higher force to force open the gate.

Well, both still have problem to prevent people force in.
