Does anyone know on which company that does the gate and auto gate system apart from Unigate ?

You can try Magtenic company. Last time I saw their advertisement in Chinese newspaper classified section. Stainless steel gate 12 feet with OAE autogate with installation less than 4k I think.

My current house gate & autogate also get from them but that time is in charge by my brother. Contact no. is 012-3451674. Hope this help. smile.gif

Got a quote from Santronec Automation Supply for CASA-ASIA...RM2220!!! Said they make CASA themselves 's n based in Tropicana. Apparently the price is steep coz its 3 yrs warranty on motor n lifetime for lightning strike. Ashed why some others advert less, he said maybe warranty period in less than 3 yrs etc. What I like is that he will only come over to check the gate first to see if it was installed propoery then only confirm the autogate. said many gates are mainly the folding gate are not installed propoerly n can cause damage.
Anyone in the forum has engaged Santronic before? Pls share

It is interesting to know of any supplier that is willing (and keep their promise) to cover their equipment against lightning strike. smile.gif

CASA is definitely made in Penang. Not KL.
Whether they will honor 3 years warranty on lightning strike you have to make reference checks with their customers.
I think most installers now will offer 3 years warranty for a slight premium which would be still less than RM2,200. If your area is not prone to lightning strike (e.g. no on hilltop, no an isolate tall structure, not have prominent lights above pillars etc) the probability of a lightning strike is very remote. My parents place has been using autogates for the past 20 years and we've never had a single failure due to lightning strike

It depends on luck whether the lightning strike on your autogate or alarm. But honestly saying, I seldom heard people that their system strike by lightning... Even from some autogate & alarm system installer. But CCTV alots lar. Coz my company one always kena... Especially raining season tongue.gif

yup, its made in penang but the company is here in kl. He also mentioned that CASA n DCMOTO is same-same but different. Anyway, the 3 yrs warranty is only for motor n lightning strike is lifetime. But, every1 is rite, i also never heard of autogate damage by lightning.
On warranty, he mentioned that if the compnay carries spare parts and wld be able to repair on the spot but DCMOTO if damage the whole motor would be shipped to penang for repairs...which means ya hse wld not autogate for 1-3 weeks. DCMOTO users, is this true?

I just saw this bad review about CASA ASIA in USJ.com.my.

03-12-2011 - folding type auto gate system casa asia

"Some 6 months back i cotracted this installer for the above gate system..he was cvery nice n recommended a gate maker he personally guranteed n assured me of next day after sales service n gave a written warranty of i year for electrical n 2 years for motor and lifetime for lightning ..since then i have had recurrent problems ..to which he sent his men to attend but only after repeated calls...about a month back the keypad for operating the gates from the house failed to operate the gates ..again only after several calls was the problem attended and just 3 weeks ago the keypad FAILED YET AGAIN .. this time he was very arrogent and gave me dates several times but failed to turn up..he now does not receive my calls n his office girl gives all sorts of excuses..i am disgusted withe man ..and want a solution to this..but short of making a report to the arbitration tribunal what shd i do ..thec gate system is the casa asia 320H... "

What are your thoughts guys?

Actually, it is quite common to come across contractors/ supplier, etc that will give their best promise when they try to win the job. After that, will depends..... Some will honour their promise. While for some, you really have to follow up with them. While for the worst case, they will even ignore your calls. You just have to carry out your own checks, ask around, etc....
Sometimes, common sense prevails. If the price offered is too good to be true, then it is. biggrin.gif

Ask the company for some references. Also make sure the installers have their own full time staff technicians to provide support, not freelance contractors who just install and leave. Usually an autogate will need some fine tuning after installation to make sure the motors cut-off, the gate doesn't slam, the high-speed/low-speed is set correctly etc.

Sometimes the batch we get are a bad one and it does not mean the whole model range is bad.
Depends on luck
