QUOTE(dudester @ Nov 20 2025, 11:39 AM) Considering Delux autogate 16-18ft. Any negative feedback ? how is their motor? Where can i sell my used sliding gate motor, it is still very good. Replacing because renovating house. You may consider delux if you have the deep pocket budget hence the brand itself have set its name. The only negative feedback is the price tag and huge gap beneath and opening is not that tight gap. Delux higher and mainstream model still uses DCMoto GFM925W 4th Gen in a OEM form. Used sliding gate motor is as good as scrap metal dealers to be honest. Cause second hand and brand new price gap is too small. |

QUOTE(nam3le5sone @ Nov 5 2025, 07:33 PM) Hi sifus, This is my first time buying and installing a front gate for my new house. Specifications: Stainless steel frame Aluminium panels Size approximately 14 feet x 5.5 feet Swing gate Comes with an inner door Dnor auto gate supplied separately; installation cost paid I have a few questions: 1. For the part highlighted in red in the photo — is that cover piece normally included, or does it require a top-up? I thought it was included based on the design I selected, but when installation day came, the seller said I had to top up RM300 (we negotiated down to RM250). Is this a common practice or not? The second photo shows my current gate waiting for that cover piece. 2. What worries me more is that after three days, the wall near the gate looks like it’s starting to crack. I noticed some other sellers recommend using three hinges instead of two. Should I ask my gate supplier to add one more hinge to each gate leaf? Please refer to the last four photos. I would really appreciate any advice.       Two hinges is way sufficient for a gate length of 14’. I only recommend three hinges and bigger size ball bearing hinges to my customer for gate length anywhere from 20’ to 28’. 14’ is no big deal. Why your wall start to crack could be due to poor masonry workmanship OR the gate install uses ordinary 2.5” wall plug like 8mm-10mm where else I would use 4” wall plug at 12mm for my customer. Cause the deeper the wall plug expansion, it holds way inner side of the wall hence better grip (bricks instead of outer cement layer). Many installer of Autogate just uses 2.5” wall plugs at 8mm-10mm size due to costing and easier to install. Hardly or nobody uses 12mm 4” expansion wall plugs 😂 |
