thanks for the input.. however, what would be the cost like?
ballpark figure wise..

does option:
1. gate on the gate cost somewhere below rm500? (they have to take back the entire gate to do the opening, rite?

2. a side gate will involve hacking of the wall and widening of the.. what do you call that? the driveway that leads out to the road? so some minor construction job is required rite?... rm1200 would suffice?


kelvyn,
can always "make space" one, rite? i just have to be careful of the water meter/pipe and stuff.


phoenix69,
the middle panel... hhmmnn.. it's the weakest as opposed to the panel nearest to the wall rite? assuming the high of the gate is the same for all panels.. will consider your input

that(small garden thingy) can't do sir.. cos the whole front is tiled up to the brim..

so, you already have your main gate done up. Now wants to add either a small gate withing the main gate or an additional small stand alone gate beside the main gate.
If that's the case, having to remove the existing main gate and modify to accommodate the small gate may cost quite close to constructing an additional small gate beside. This will also depends on your main gate. Without taking a look at the existing gate and site condition, would be difficult.
Why don't you get the contractors to take a look for them to give an accurate quote.

Anyone has good contractors to recommend for laying armour cable about 30' including hacking and drilling? What is the normal cost for this type of work?

my house has own alarm sys. Thinking to make the remote control combine with my autogate. So it is possible? Enough channel or not?

plan to make double rail sliding doors for my house. so wanna ask the price around how much for 10' stainless steel or wrought iron sliding door.

as a very rough guide, can use RM 27-32/ft2. However, the actual cost will depends on the design of your gate and the type of material plus protection system.
For more accurate estimate, get the gate manufacturer to quote you

Recently I got a quotation from a contractor..

I asked him to quote for the following:

1) 13' Wrought Iron Folding Gate (With simple horizontal rail, top steel bottom wood)
2) Powder coated + Galvanised
3) Heavy Duty Motor System
4) Galvanised Bolt and Nut
5) Armoured Wiring concealed into wall

Price : RM4,700

Is it reasonable?

I guess this price is very reasonable and at the cheap side. How much the quote for laying armoured cable alone?
Where is your place? KV?

Thinking of choosing a autogate.
More or less decided to go for DC Moto
Is there is basic model for DC moto, without all the frills??

It seems that the sensor for autogate are not stable. true ah?

the sensor is an add on feature for the DC Moto. The basic model does not come with it

how about MAG ARM GATE? Got the quotation rm1.2k

Cool! Then I'm going to confirm with the guy. If not mistaken, the armoured cable cost about RM500-600. He quoted RM5100, after negotiation, then he gave a final discount at RM4700. My house at Bukit Rimau.

Added on January 8, 2012, 7:20 pmThen mine 1 considered cheap..but not sure how's the performance of the motor...he claimed that it's heavy duty..when moving..it might has very slightly sound only and move smoothly..

But mine 1 is wrought iron, galvanised + powder coated..Stainless Steel bolt and nut. + motor and armoured cable. Half horizontal rail + half wood.

I was offered
1.Full spec with sensor, keypad, 4 button remote, all the bell and whistle
2.Spec without sensor, include keypad , 4 button remote, less RM100-200
3.Basic spec, no keypad, 2 button remote., further less RM300-400

Is option 2 worth it?
Option 3 is it still DC moto. Less what function?

Laying armoured cable for RM500-600 is considered cheap. Does it including hacking and plastering? I'm also looking for some one to
install autogate? My place is Klang and not far from Bukit Rimau.

I assume that the above are referring to DC Moto. I am using one.
Actually, what sensor are you referring to?
It is the sensor for the pillar lights or the sensor for the passing vehicle?
What's the keypad for?

Mine comes with 4 button remote. There is a sensor for the pillar lights

Yup. I asked 3 suppliers.

2 of them say, no sensor as it is not stable. (they exculde)
Got keypad that control panic button, switch off gate. Got 2 button remote.
With sensor also can, additional charge.

The 3rd one say got all the above + sensor full spec only.

Is the sensor really that unstable?


Then 2 of the spplier say can get dc moto basic,
No keypad. 2 button remote.


Is this DC Moto?

check these out

http://www.dcmoto.com.my/gfm725_905_2.html

I am having the 4 buttons remote.
1. open and close both gates
2. Open left gate
3. Open right gate
4. Spare - which is connected to control the pillar lights


As for the sensor, my guess is that they could be covered with dust (you know out air pollution la...) and thus becomes unreliable.

Hi Kelvyn, in=m interested in havin DC-MOTO for my autogate as well. Could you share ya experience with this model, ie why you chose this brand and its reliability? Also, do you mind sharing ya suplier for DC-MOTO? Txs in advance.

Hi I had just had my auto gate installed. It's swing out type but when I open it, the gate will open until kena the pillar. I ask my installer and they said it's normal. I remember my friends' autogates didn't kena the pillar. I'm worried that after some time the pillar's cement will come off or the gate badly scratched.
