The autogate installer will ask you your gate weight, than he can recommend. If too heavy, they usually recommend imported version.

any alarm sound if someone force open or gate been block?

Take out the arm. Alarm did not really try, try pulling it not easy to open. But if you really force it it should open few inch than it will lock or maybe the arm holder (cement wall) will come off..

As per my experience, sliding door is slow and noisy when it slide.
It is more important to understand how heavy is your gate and what size of motor require. I have issue with my sliding gate as the motor start to give out as the door is too heavy and i have to help IT when it open or close.
It is also more important to find a company which has been in the business for long as u will require their service after yrs and u do hope they are still around.

Check the sliding door bearing. It maybe due for replacement. I have no problem with the sliding door, one is very silent another is noisy because the bearing is due for replacement.

Yes, asked someone to service it and they say that the motor is not strong enough for the door.
Need to change this n that.
Also, my door is quite long and when it was pulled by the motor, can hear the steel shaky sound.
The swing 1 is much better. hmm.gif

Was it like this when the gate and sliding motor is new? Mine was the same, and slowly make noise. The technician disable the sliding motor and pull, it show us the bearing is worn and motor now work much harder. But still workable.

No, at 1st everything seems just good but after close to 1yr then problem started to arise.
Especially when the guy said that my gate is just too heavy.
I was thinking why he never said so when he install it?
Now the gate is slow and most of the time it will stop by itself halfway then i have to press the remote again.
Worst part is when it rains and i have to go down to ASSIST the gate to open.
Also, i notice that my other neighbours who is using slide gate also quite noisy and slow.
My another house using swing has no such issue and require minimal service for the bearing only.
I prefer the gate to close faster cause i usually wait until it is fully closed before i go down.
You know la, nowadays many robber dash into the house when he gate is about to close. sad.gif

Sliding is always slow.

Can you try unlock the motor and manually push. If its easy push mean is the motor problem. If still hard, most likely the roller inside the gate is rust or failing.

Slide will sure be slow, Depend the length too. My current house, the door about 10 feet take 15 sec to fully close / open.

Swing, i find the Arm type (mine is OAE) i am using not very fast also, about 13 sec to fully close / open. Maybe due to the arm will slow down when starting, and ending.

Don't know. Did not bother to check. As long working for me is good. Is design or maybe is pre configure to be slow start and end. I'll open up the control box when I brought my 9AH batter.

So far so good. Been running about a month. Closing and opening noisy because my small gate causing the noise, not the motor.

If without Armored cable, can use GI pipe, and put in the wires. It sure are better protection but is less flexible and more expensive.

10m for the range of the auto gate remote. Not the gate size. smile.gif

Oh, sorry. Must be my eye getting tired after the renovation.

Mine can open 3 to 4 houses away. It all depend where you locate the receiver and the signal strength. I find the cheaper non encrypted (no code hopping) remote always have better range. And I am using old remote too, I am using one remote for two house (My mother and my house one remote)

Hi all, would like to ask about automatic folding gate.. I'm new to it but I want to get one for my house..under renovation now..

Yesterday found a discount on the newspaper..and I called them up to ask for quotation..not sure is the price reasonable or not..

13' Wrought Iron Folding Gate (with 4 pieces of door) + Galvanised + Powder Coated + GI Bolt? + Motor
Quotation = RM4500 (He claimed that RM220/ft for the gate only) excluded cabling.

One question for cabling, I didn't change my car porch and driveway's tiles, so if the contractor want to pull the cable for auto gate, they need to hack the tiles to embed the wiring? So it will be another cost for replacing floor tiles?? Please advise.

Is it reasonable? Any recommended contractor to introduce to me? Please pm me the contact, thanks a lot!
*
If your existing house don't have cabling you can run it expose or hidden. Usually you can run the cable along the wall. To conceal is much easier to hack the wall instead of floor. Cement patching is much easier than floor tiles.

Next you have to be careful of water pipe, but if its new house without any repair of pipe usually is underground so no worry.

Thanks for your reply weikee. It's a corner lot, so I have only 1 party wall at car porch and driveway, is it possible to concealed the cabling into the party wall (one brickwall only)? The brickwall just done last week only. I choose not to hack the floor tiles if possible because that will be additional cost for hacking and repairing floor tiles. =.="

It's an old house. Existing house don't have cabling because it's not an autogate.

Do you have any idea what the cost like for folding gate? Got several quotation, almost 4-5k, but got 1 quoted estimate RM3500.

Any recommended contractor please?
*
If the wall are link back to your living room and without supporting pillar, it maybe possible to conceal all. It also depend where you want to locate the open/close switch. Some people choose not to have permanent switch inside the house due to cabling issue, they use remote in the house too.

The most critical part is get the a/c power for your gate.

I usually don't recommend. Think if you have search few contractor, your pricing are not much off. You need to know the autogate brand too. Is it from China? From Malaysia or Italy (I doubt)

Nope, the wall link to the staircase because my staircase is attached to the party wall, and there's DB and switches besides the staircase.

A/C power? Do you mean the power of the motor to swing the folding gate?

It's a local brand, it's their own brand I think. So is better to take any brand except China right?  hmm.gif

Yes, 240v power.

most important can source for spare parts. You can ask the wireman / autogate installer to recommend best wires route.
