If they can promise 4 years warranty, go ahead. Usually manufacurer provide standard 1 year warranty. The balance probably from the installer itself.

Best pairing at the moment. OAE 333 + NX12 control panel which have built in receiver enabling 4 channel remote control meaning you can control both, left, right leaf and lastly pillar light (optional).

Above hinges and bearing adjustable. It can be done by any iron gate obtaining this type of bearing and hinges mount. Nothing to do with DCMoto or Casa Asia.

You shouldn't worry about track-guide folding gate sinking, you should be more worried that UniGate will sink cause is trackless and sole-dependent on the your pillar for weight support.

I will response to your question bit by bit. No worries

Comparison of space required between OAE and DCMoto 925W

OAE space required.



GFM 925W space required



GFM 925W maximum opening gap

No worries, DCMoto 925W works well even 23' length gate.



Don't worry about the gap in folding gate. Good and excellent workmanship will have 8" gap the smallest possible. If they made in 10" still acceptable but the gap leaving 12-15" is total suck! I've install DCMoto with opening gap 16" because of bad workmanship iron gate guys did.

GOLDEN RULE : DCMoto/CASA Asia have a maximum opening gap space 8" nothing more or less. If exceed then is the iron gate manufacture problem with skill or else you have a curb outside blocking the opening leaf gate.

Here is your guide of the foot print https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/530387/+1220#

Wrong!

Since 2011 OAE has a board manufacturer built a circuit board having the ability to operate either single leaf + both leaf + pillar light control. Using 4 button remote control and built in 4 channel receiver. The board model is NX12 and right now is being manufactured by OAE itself. Is a clone anyway. Chipset and parts placement remain the same. For new generation board made for OAE. THIS IS A TIP for users of OAE, you can operate single leaf operation from the same button that you operate your gate inside your house. STEP 1, depress and hold the button as long you can to desired degree of single leaf operation. If you just press and let go, it will just operate both leaf. I'm sure many doesn't know this function but it exist! go give it a try and enjoy. It doesn't applies to DCMoto since GFM905 have 5 button keypad back in 2008.

Those are still using 2 channel remote control is so so old days. Folding gate/Arm gate/ DCMoto/ Casa Asia has 4 button remote control. The first to commercially utilized 4 button remote control to control individual leaf and both leaf is DCMoto GFM905.

Adjustable hinges, is only applied during initial installation of the gate. There is bound to have flaw in measurement from your gate or else pillar to pillar length. Your masonry contractor might built pillar to pillar length of example, 16' feet. But it will never be 100% precise right? Your gate will always be manufacture smaller than 16'. The reason for the adjustable hinges is to compensate the gap difference. Once is hooked up, is no more in use for the adjustable hinges Simplified meaning, usefull during initial installation, afterward is useless.

Usually nobody uses 3 point hinges, it seems there is no bearing applied since is so small size. Ordinary folding gate uses bearing hinges to minimize wear and tear and gap-less for smooth swinging.

If you're board is NX12 as I mention, then you just buy 4 channel remote control will do. Programmed into the motherboard and you can have the ability of controlling left, right, both and pillar light.

I will grab a picture on how the board look like.

And for weikee, whats the point of having two button remote able to control left and right but missing the pillar light control function.

Will snap the photo for you by tomorrow.

Stainless steel might look eye catching for lots of user, but it induce the most heat inside the tube. DCMoto and Casa Asia, uses cast aluminium alloy.



OAE, DCMoto, Casa Asia and many other arm-type motor uses pre-filled grease inside their gearbox. There is no oil applied as it will leaked eventually.

Only sliding gate type either uses grease or else gearbox oil with gasket inside.

Even they have the whole pillar attach with metal, it only adds more weight and stress to your cement/brick pillar. Safest is concrete pillar but is costly.

24 bearing is meaning the whole gate system requirement. Ordinary swing fold gate system have 16 bearings. Btw more than that bearings only bring more cost to replace them.

The reasons why the wheels tend to jump out of your track!

- bad workmanship on the track, didn't get a well-balanced track mounted on the floor.
- bad workmanship on cement flooring, sinking!
- having small particle like small tiny rocks stuck at your track, causing the wheel to jump out.

Here you go.

Track sink, replace it or lifting it up again and weld it back.

Opening of DCMoto 925W. Look at the gap, is as close as UniGate does.



BTW i've mention a few times, UniGate is using DCMoto 905 motor system. Is 100% the truth. UniGate just manufacture the iron gate system where else DCMoto supplies the motor system. The arm length metal is been custom made to adapt UniGate gate design and requirement.

the arm is as thick as unigate does. won't bent unless you bang your gate with your vehicle

Opening angle, any folding gate with good workmanship can open as wide as unigate does. What limits the opening angle if your front pillar have sitting curb that obstruct the opening angle. If I have the chance, I'll snap shot the photo the meaning of having wide open angle.

this one right?

First I look at their control panel.... IMHO

Looks big control panel, lack of features, and no 4 channel remote control operation (you can individual opening leaf on any side you want).

Direct copies OAE design, probably the internals too.

You're way better off settle with OAE 333 with NX12 circuit board if you want to be on budget and arm-type.

Well is your choice, what's the damage of your deposit?

One bad of having unique custom made iron gate such as UniGate is all the parts is customized and not commercially available. Everything had to refer back to UniGate and prepare to pay premium service price.

Just like BTE LEGATE system. Yearly fee rm 150. And if you missed out two years maintain-ace and on third year you wanted their service. You have to pay previous two years default fee and third year in order to obtain their service. Repair and parts is another fee being charged.

Seems like a shoddy job. It will break eventually. The arm requires firm hold from your pillar and ground. Push pull need lots stress to withstand.

if they haven't fabricate your main gate perhaps you can talk to them.

Certainly suitable. DCMoto only consume max 7'' for each motor. Meaning it took 14'' off your 10' pillar to pillar space.

Doesn't matter any motor you install, it consume space the same length. If you worry of damage your DCMoto, most common is just split the main cover and can be easily glued using super glue. If you bang on your OAE or any arm type, most probably you have to replace one whole unit itself. I've seen my customer daughter drove VIOS and the tire landed right on OAE arm, broke into two pieces.

Sometimes having 5 years warranty is eye catching but what does the 5 years cover? parts & labour fees?

Auto-close not an good idea. Do it manually cause auto-close without sensor beam can be dangerous.

That's why DCMoto 925W had all this features provided by the control panel but not usable without the right accessories especially sensor beam. DCMoto intelligently preset the system not to be use with auto-close if you did NOT install sensor beam.

Panic buttom, GFM925W has piezo siren built in. Just to scare those theft off. You're better off with home alarm system.

damage the DCMoto, that was referring to petlu28 regarding to tight space pillar to pillar.
