In the past 20 years, the concealed under the floor type can only lasts 2 years and expect to repair here and there until you give up.
It is hard to maintain things under the floor and the type of technology is more than 20 year old, so imaging driving an old car.

There is a significant difference between the popular arm type and if you know a little bit about mechanics, the SCREW system push & retract where the center of rotation is very small and distribute the force evenly along the arm.
The GEAR system put all the force to only one section of the gears, sliding it from one end to another, this require more power to drive it, when the grease thicken through time, you know what will happen next.

The other is the clutch system that controls the speed, Jackpro uses Ampere which is the amount of electricity feed to the motor instead of gears. I was one a sale person 10 years ago that is how I know but now a professional in 3D imaging and revised their website because I owe them a favor last time and stumble upon this thread.

Use this to make comparison and surprise yourself, do tell them you got your information from me and cut the commission but make your complain directly to their two hand phone support line. I don't have anything to do with it.

May i know, currently what is the most reliable brand for sliding auto gate system ? Roughly how much ? Thanks !

No one can really tell which is the most reliable unless they have tried all of them, sometimes you have to look at their specification compare it to your gate.
If you go for a hundred cheaper but they cut material cost in the gate or bad installer that just had a lousy day, then it is luck. The tone of voice by the person in charge also matters.

Elock swing autogate...Rm 1350...installtion wiring's add Rm 250..worth it?

currently the arm type abit outdated d.

http://www.goldmark.com.my/GFM905.html

prince range from 1400 - 1700with installation but without the conceal wiring.

i am not the seller or contractor
i just got the quotation from my contractor also

I already have an auto gate which is forever breaking down on me. Planning to change to a new one. Interested in Jackpro. Can anyone tell me roughly how much is Jackpro? Thanks.

1.Was wondering if I can only have a gate no option for standalone sidedoor, is there such a gate where I can manually open the gate for people to get in out instead of opening the full gate, without risk of tripping or hitting our heads? I find most of these doors troublesome to get in/out.

2.Also normally how many types of programming are given to these doors, if the gate is 2 piece, can i choose the door to open inwards or outwards, or 1 in 1 out, or partial open?

3.What are the best brands of autogate? Do the Gate & Motor/Logic come together from same maker?

4.How do they do the wiring in order to get power? Any specific things I need to look out for? I don't want short circuit or electric hazards.

5.If I put a lock on the gate, will the gate keep forcing itself to open, thus damaging the motor/gate/lock?

6.If someone accidentally stepped in the way of the gate is there some kind of safety to prevent the person from getting clamped? It's a good safety feature but sometimes you just want to prevent people from getting in...

As i know, the auto gate system need 1400 to infinity... and the gate is depend what material u want... if u want normal steel gate, that cost not much.

my autogate system cost me Rm1200 to install. more then 6 months working ok.
I can not control the gate now, problem! and the bad news is I can't find the guy who installed the system liao; maybe he changed his office, watever.

any good guy to recommend?

1. You can have the autogate only open 1 side of the gate to allow simple access.

2. Normal arrangement is to have the gate open out. You can have it open in too but the placement of the motor will be limited by the available width of you gate post. Yes, you can set the gate to open 1 in and 1 out. Howver once you decide on these configurations (both out, both in, one in one out) the pattern is fixed

3. Best - price not an issue FAAC. but for most residential houses a good local brand is sufficient. A very common one out in the market is OAE. Fairly realiable, easy and cheap to get spare parts.
You can find the specification on http://autogatemalaysia.blogspot.com/

4. They just have to draw 3 wires (live, neutral, earth) from your existing Electrical Distribution Board (DB)

5. The only danger with gate crushing is with sliding door system. There is no such danger with Swing Arm system as the closing force of the gate is not extremely high.

Added on June 25, 2009, 12:27 amHere's a description of the different types of system:-
http://autogatemalaysia.blogspot.com/2009/...ystems-arm.html

1. Folding gate most unrealiable as it has the most moving parts (gate hinge, floating hinge, lower track etc). It is also the least secure as the the gate is held in position only at the bottom track.

2. Swing gate is the most common systems around nowadays. As long as the gates has good bearing, properly installed quality arms it is fairly realiable. Underground systems were popular 5 years back but now most of them are being replaced by above ground arm actuators which are not proned to flooding.

3. Sliding gates are the most realiable systems. Just 1 large powerful AC motor driving the whole gate. very few moving parts. Downside is that it is slower as the gate has to travel 11 feet of track and there is the danger of crushing.

I'm looking for Arm type swing....MAG or Jackpro??

Please advise.

MAG & Jackpro are both local brands, you also have the option of DCMOTO, OEA, Radion which are local brands worth considering.
Stay away from Vigitronx (Top Ten Alarm - terrible after sales support) and Telcoma (expensive low end Italian system with very limited installations in malaysia), Low quality problematic products, lousy service

If your budget allows you can also consider Imported products such as Stagnoli, DEA.

Also consider your requirements, e.g. size and weight of your gate, volume of usage. Is your usage light duty or heavy duty? A good system that is properly sized for you gate should last at least 5-7 years before any major maintenance is required (changing motors or gears).
