Herm, but the quotation from several contractors showing me the price of motor per unit, swing is more expensive than slide (each unit higher beberapa puluh only) maybe different brands different prices?

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.

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.

maybe every 3 months have self maintainance with WD40 on it??? Will it help?

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.

Maybe because of the auto gate arm instead of the board?
What system is that?

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.

Thanks for the advise.
Must check and see on this coming weekend.
Nowadays always rain making me so frustrated.

I m using DC Moto Swing Type for the foldable door.. so far.. so good..

wow, sounds troublesome when you have to assist the autogate to open, i m still considering swing or slide..

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.

for your swing one, how many watt and torque of motors u r using?

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.

icic, I am actually doing some study on the torque vs suitable gate

Hi, any of you know how to contact Herostar Automation (Radion)? Our gate has broken down and my mother has been trying to contact the number given on their site http://radion.com.my/contact.html but it's constantly engaged.
Are they still around?

hi. any problems with autogate, alarm sys or cctv, pls call this guy. Jeff 012-2380900. no need to mention who recommend.

How is the quality? Noisy when sliding? thunder and water resistant?

if you think your autoagate is slow, you can open the controller box. There'll be a knob in there to adjust the timing to your preference..
