If I got quoted rm350 I think is ok. Problem is all quote I got is rm600 and above and they are not willing to lower more than that. I think it is a bit over priced. If your electician can do Selangor area maybe you can let me have his contact. Hehe....

RM600 is pretty steep, however not sure if that price includes the armour cable which comes in many grades.
Anyway I've check with the contractor and he confirms that he can do for under RM350 provided the work is as simple as you've describe. You can get a better deal if you negotiate the work together with installation of the Autogate.

can have contact?

Sure, just Click for Contact Information. Just mention to David that you've were referred from LowYat.net for wiring quote below RM350. Good luck!

is 7 core cable enuff for autogate like CASA ?

If my gate is the swing type is the Pkg #5 DC MOTO GFM905 sufficient to cater for the whole gate or do I need to purchase 2 units? I'm a noob.

All swing door packages should come with 2 motors, 1 control unit, 1 receiver unit, 3 remotes and the backup battery.

Added on March 22, 2010, 10:02 pmHere's an update on this thread. Avoid Top Ten Alarm Sdn Bhd, very bad & dishonest autogate installers who are not interested in after sale service. They rebrand low end local systems under using the VIGITRONX brand name and pretend to give 2 years warrantee, however in the event you need after sales support the make all sorts of excuses. They also carry the TELCOMA brand under their banner and I really don't have any confidence that they are sincere in developing a long term business.

wow, nice topic here.......im more interested in wooden gate.......without autogate.........how much the most cheapest n reasonable quality i can get im just surveying doing my budget for upcoming house

Get a system that is popular and well supported. For local system try OAE, with over 1,000+ units installed monthly and supported by practically ALL installers in Malaysia, you can't go wrong.

If you really want to get an imported system make sure you get a system that is supported by many local installers and that spare parts are readily available. Don't go too high end as the high end systems are difficult to install and calibrate and the spare parts (e.g. motors, sensors, control boards, gears etc) are hard to obtain and very expensive to repair.

nowadays a lot of thief use programable remote to open ur gateduring day and night time... any product have prevention on this?

Ask your installer for a "rolling code" remote control. It will cost more but is more secure than the regular remotes with the DIP switch settings.

what is the maintenance needed for autogate?
do we need to lube it every once in a while? etc?

Yes, like all things mechanical an autogate needs to be maintain regularly.

1. The gate bearings need to be lubricated yearly, usually there is a nipple at the top for the gate bearing for you to squirt grease into.

2. If you have an underground system, check the rubber seals and make sure that the motor casing is not flooded.

3. Backup batteries should be replaced every 2 years.

4. The system should be recalibrated (fast, slow, cut-off current, total time-out) every year to make sure that the gate is operating within design parameters

5. The cylinders should be cleaned regularly to ensure that dirt & dust does not get into the mechanism.

6. The electrical terminals and wiring should be checked and tighten regularly.

my advice. avoid radion. very lousy after sales service. everytime came, small repair charge RM80. regret using it.

Autogate systems are quite a commodity item these days. The old brand names like Magnet, Westmark, Radion have all be superceded by systems which are more affordable, reliable & easy to service at a reasonable cost.

Selecting a good, reliable installer is very important. It's like owning a car, when you breakdown in the middle of nowhere you want to make sure that help is just a phone call away. Likewise when your wife is stuck at home on a rainy night and the gate refuses to budge, your autogate guy better be able to help.

there is a key 2 open the auto gate manually if got power failure.
my problem is i hv lost the key, can any1 advise me as to what action should i take?

Is anyone using Genius swing type? Cause my contractor is proposing this brand to me. Thanks.

Added on April 3, 2011, 5:24 pmAll, I have been using Top Ten Alarms services, and just to let you know that the after-sales service that I had receive has been very responsive. At most is mere wait for a day or 2. I suppose it is not fair to put broad stroke to generalize - perhaps your bad experience. That is if you have personally experience after sales service from Top Ten Alarm.

For home sliding auto gate, any recommended brands. Should go for AC/DC motor type. Kindly advise.
