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? 

just to ask, can install the motor only to the current gate or i have to change the whole gate?

Guys,
sorry to interrupt..
Anyone has duplicated the remote control (4 buttons) before for your autogate and cost below 50 ?  If yes, pls recommend a place to do this in PJ / Damansara?

Most key maker will be able to do that. Don't know how much it will cost

Yeah..a key maker quoted me 50 for one , but I guess he refers to 2 buttons as I forgot to tell him mine is 4...

Thanks guys..

Hey guys. What is the diffrence between 2 button remote and those more than 2.?
Does it mean that those remote that has more button can do 1 side gate open whereas the 2 button remote cannot ah?

I got like 4 spare remote Last time Lelong seller got promotion, brought many and it use as spare now. Is so much cheaper than asking the key maker to duplicate. Some charging RM 80 for a dip switch duplicate.

if you just buy hardware from lelong, how do u program the remote that you bought? i know there r dip switch inside the remote, but i remember that we need to tune the frequency for the remote as well using the special device?

mind to share where you bought ur armour cable?

hi,

got a open question here.. i got a folding gate and i would like to explore the following:
1. add a small gate/door on the folding gate itself. there're 4 panels.. which is the better panel position to add?
2. have a side small 3-feet gate next to the main gate.

what are the cost between these 2 options above? any recommended contact(s) to do such jobs?

thank you very much.
