QUOTE(scouser7 @ Jan 31 2012, 05:44 PM) 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. I choose DC Moto because my gate is the folding type. It allows the folding gate panels to be close together when fully opened; thus having a larger effective opening width. If I was to use the use the telescopic arm type, it could reduce the opening width due to the arm between the gate panels. I believe there are other brands... Already PM you the supplier's contact.

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. You could ask your auto gate installer to place a rubber stopper at both the pillars. Problem solved. This post has been edited by kelvyn: Jan 31 2012, 05:33 PM

QUOTE(Jo_da48 @ Feb 2 2012, 10:31 AM) What the distance between your two panel after folding??? My after folding taken around 1.5Feets  I did not really measured mine. But don't think it takes up 1.5ft. 1.5ft is quite a lot. From what I have asked around and own analysis, the effective gate opening width is depended on the mechanism of the auto gate (arm or the level type) and also how the gate is being fabricated (the hinge between the 2 gate panels) Anyway in my case, the attachment mechanism at the gate was installed on the side of the gate panel. If it was installed to the bottom of the gate, the gap between the gate panels will be even closer. Anyway the difference is quite marginal. My reason of not attaching to the bottom is because this will require the removal of the tile skirting at the pillars (which was done earlier) as the controlling gear/ motor will need to be lower.

May I know what's the price for auto gate motor and cabeling for the brand Celmer? My autogate got problem just after installing for 2 weeks (alignment haywire and insensitive remote control) and I wonder if I was given an inferior brand. My neighbour installed their autogate for cheaper price and no problem at all with their autogate.

You should call back the installer and check. The brand is Celmer. Yeah, install cable from switch inside my house to the gate pillar. Use back my old gate without doing the bearing. My neighbour did for RM1700 and include bearing. I don't mind the fact that I pay more than my neighbours but I'm starting to wonder whether I'm paying the price for what I get? Or I was over quote? So far, comparing theirs to mine, I noticed their gate open and close quite smoothly, remote can be sensed from far. Mine : open and close very slow and now left hand side became slower so currently looks very imbalance. When I press my remote to 'open' then try to press again to 'stop', the gate don't respond to stop immediately. Need to press one more time, only it will respond.

You need to have bearing, if not the gate will not close or open smooth (especially when gate is heavy) Better ask the installer come and check. How is your remote look like? I have 7 remote with me  , 4 are dip switch, 3 are copy. The copy type will respond slower. Don't compare price. We can always find cheaper after we brought the things.

Think it come with 3. I am setting it identical to my mom house, so I use one remote for 2 houses. Previously, my mom house I brought some extra remote @ Lelong. That is how I have so many now This post has been edited by weikee: Feb 8 2012, 12:11 AM
