You know those houses ? With automatic gates that are controlled by controllers ?
If you're to ask an engineer to make one for you, how much will the whole thing including the installation costs ?
A separated value would be great ...
Like how much for the gate and how much for the actual installation

This post has been edited by SeeD: Oct 7 2007, 12:39 AM

Depends whether your gate can support.

Also, price vary depending on the type you have in mind. There's the sliding version and the regular open outwards type and also whether you want to wire it to some lighting.

Mine costs about RM2k for the new gate and autogate system when I reno my home 2 years ago.

from past experience, get a new one is always better than fixing it ,fix it,not long later spoil again

What kind of engineers are you talking about?

You need engineers to pull wire, do tiling work, make the gate, install the electrical parts, etc.

Anyway, I'm moving this into Properties discussion.

Actually you dont need to, because I only need to know the exact cost of the whole thing.

I asked them already, RM1K+ to install the auto open on your existing gate. <--- Won't last long IMO.

Gate nowadays belly expensive, mid-end ones already RM10K.

The cost of the gate itself would depend on what kind of gate you want, and what is the size of the gate.

Nobody here can give you the exact cost unless they know what you need and what is the measurement.

One more thing not to forget is the warranty of the Auto gate and axtra remote controls.

Choose the design of the automatic gate wisely too.
Normal gate style (opens outwardly), long sliding style and Folding style.
Those sliding style one usually will have a small gate for you to open for people to come in. without opening the gate.

Not sure of the exact prices tho.
You can try yellow pages or ask a few friends for recommendation.

Well, I'm not trying to be funny but Im trying to install one myself, in my own home.
Since I've studied so much automation related subject. I'd think putting them into use would be great.
My dad quite agreed though, he asked about costs so ...
I searched the internet before sensors can costs from 50 to I have no idea how expensive they can be.
As for the gate openers, they costs 700 USD cheapest.

I'll appreciate it if anybody could give any answer to the question above.

Those auto gate not sure they come with how many remote.

At least 2.

Strictly speaking, the autogate mechanism only cost RM2-3k inclusive of installation.

Why want to do it on your own?

The manufacturer spend hundreds on thousands on R&D, do you think you could emulate that on your own?

Anyone here knows about any local autogate company websites with a catalogue of different gate types/mechanisms and their respective price?

Make your own remote controller?

Hmmm RM 2 - 3k huh, I'll check around in Malaysia to see what I can do.
It's not about emulating anything now. It's about applying what I've studied into use, not into waste like the rest of the population in Malaysia

http://www.gatedepot.com

You mean to pasang that auto thingy at any gate cost RM2K - RM3K ah? I can get it done for only RM1K.

remote is a small problem ler...you can always get it duplicated.
anyway for SeeD's case...i rather agree with scorgio about just getting the people to do it.

My friend who is studying Electronic engineering did a house alarm system for my dad..a simple one with remote control...and the cost to make one end up more than purchasing a security set outside. Not to mention it comes with warranty and support too. DIY doesn't mean it'll be cheaper. it depends on the thing that you're building tho..because they mass produce it.

But i totally understand what SeeD meant..
well if time and cost is not a problem...and you're doing it as an interest, just go ahead and DIY it. It's satisfying to see the end result/ product. money can't buy it.

I was referring to the more reliable brands.

RM1k also got. But what brand? RM600 for the motor & remote set I also saw b4.

Just make sure the motor & other mechanism is durable lah. If not, more headache than convenience.

The labour to install autogate is already RM2-300. So left RM7-800 for the set of machine.

U do the math.

This post has been edited by scorgio: Oct 9 2007, 12:26 AM

My autogate came with 3 remotes... so 2 for the car drivers everyone else gets a key for the small door... once they're in the house there is a switch if they wanna open the autogate.

Third remote is a spare...

RM1K 'Pau Ka Liao'

I know there are some problematic auto gate, my friend's one need to tarik hard, like trying to pull a bull out from his house.

Added on October 9, 2007, 4:26 pmGot small door then different story. But if without small door I think is a belly big problem ler. Now not sure want to install or not.

This post has been edited by zeist: Oct 9 2007, 04:26 PM

Can your automatic gates capable of manually open ?
Say no electricity or something. Then you manually open the gate instead of ... well you know what I meant.

Ya lah. What I meant was, after deducting the labour. What do you expect from a RM800 machine?

Either you install a small door next to your gate or cut the existing gate and put one in... most metal/grill shops do the cutting and fitting.

Cost mine was cheap RM100 but that was done as part of larger renovation work...

My contractor told me if no power not to force the autogate open because I could damage it... not sure if its true but I'm not tempting fate

Added on October 11, 2007, 4:50 pmHehe, I saw there are a few houses doing this as well. But I think I'll do this last/later. Might just change the original gate to some stylish wooden gate. No need auto open also nevermind ler.

What gate are you using? The steel/alumminium type cost around RM10K+ <--- too pricey, depending on design. I saw a wooden one also belly nice, where you can flip. I think this is the latest trend now.



This post has been edited by zeist: Oct 11 2007, 04:50 PM

Just a regular steel gate from the developer... I wanted an autogate because it helps that I don't have to keep running to and from the fron gate just to park my car every morning and when I come home in the evening.

Getting lazy

I don't think its steel/alu its stainless steel and yup costs a lot of money...

In a cost scale its the most expensive:-
Normal Steel -
Wraught Iron -
Stainless Steel -

I kept the original developer installed gate because it would be such a waste to throw it away... might as well use it for a few years and when its rusty and broken down then I'll buy a new gate

Oww... So there are 3 types of steel gate.

- Normal Steel
- Wraught Iron
- Stainless Steel

What about wood made gate?

Those steel gate are too belly expensive, spending on gate alone RM10K+ is insane, that's why I'm considering wood gate now, they look belly nice too.

No point spending so much on gate it is just some ornamental thing and it is placed outside of the house somemore.

This post has been edited by zeist: Oct 12 2007, 11:54 AM

Normal steel is what the majority of Malaysian homes have installed... including me because it's cheap

Wrought Iron and Stainless Steel - there is a reason for the extra cost... besides looks.

Both are made from stronger, better materials and is more durable to the elements compared to Normal Steel or Wooden Gates. Additionally maintenance wise Stainless Steel doesn't need to be painted every few years to prevent rust and decay.

Choose a gate that suites your house looks and your budget, if you like the wooden gate go for it.

Hehe extra reason like..? Quality? You pay for what you get?

Aww, I didn't know about the stainless steel gate able to prevent rust and decay, before this I know nothing about steel gate... I think I might consider this stainless steel gate... I'll put in the list.

Thanks for the info.

auto gate can be manually open wan no problem. usually most comes with a key, so when no power, use the key to open the bottom lock mechanism. but only 1 side can open la....

wow... expensive..

I see, thanks for the info.

wow, great to know ppl are discussing this.

I found 2 websites about autogate in M'sia, reasonable price.

My contractor adviced me to use "MAG" quoted me RM1700* w 1 year waranty. But I asked for a straight quote from MAG is only Rm1600*. He said he's using this brand for 3 years w no prob.
http://www.magnet.com.my/products/Autogate...uct/AG_main.htm

Then I found out another one from the newspaper, seems popular, said to be reputable Taiwan Brand. This one with installation is about RM2K +. Hav not get quotation. This model quite interesting coze comes with Alarm.

http://www.jackpro.com.my/

Anyone, using any of the 2 brand above? Or any frens/relatives, got any feedback? product repu good not?



* excluding wiring

Added on October 23, 2007, 9:25 amalrite, Jackpro quoted me Rm1700 w installation (no wiring work). This one comes w Alarm sensor + Hitachi backup batt. Quite atractive.... but never heard of this brand from frens wor. Anybody out there can share?

This post has been edited by adrianocy: Oct 23 2007, 11:52 AM

Which type of autogate more reliable?
1. folding gate
2. swing gate
3. sliding gate

and how are the price range for these 3?

My opposite neighbour using folding gate, I think is pretty chunted. IMO, go for swing or folding. Sliding is freaking old and will give alot of problems.

Wow I think I must lepak here more often... got so many stuff I ngam also.. btw, anybody installed the auto gate with those stainless steel arm type? Which is more durable? Coz I've seen my neighbors doing sliding and arm type, but my neighbor said usually he request the technician to service the sensor panel and the arms once a every year.. so far no problem, but he refused to recommend me.. funny

My bf's business is installing autogate and alarms/CCTV. Wanna get more details bout the durability email me at panda_lim85@yahoo.com

hi, my dad's lighting business includes MAG autogate. RM1700 includes conceal wiring and everything. Pm me if interested, sorry for the hijack.

Stainless steel is more durable coz when its raining, it won't get rusty.

sorry to spoil your mood, wooden gate is quite expensive which on par as wrought iron gate. you know why, the woods are not those normal cheap woods. imagine the wooden gate is made from cheapo woods, after few months if weeks, there will be mushroom growing already.

I have taken over the web design to Jackpro and will recreate a 3D version web display, incidentally, I should answer a question about the manufacturer is Malaysia and Taiwan.

For your info, their expertise is to combine both security alarm & auto gate, the uniqueness is the gate system that utilize less parts thus less troublesome.

One thing I know is that if you have ever use an auto gate before, you will doubt its reliability after 2 years, and you will give up on the concealed type that one component failure will lead to another due to related mechanism.

The owner used to be just an installer to the older type but has re-invented a new system with Taiwanese engineer because local manufacturer is old and dictate the market in the past.

So, if you are going to use auto gate in your life, you may try a few in the span of 10 years and found yourself settle on one type but I am not promoting any brand here.

As a 3D web campaign designer, it is my job to study client history and conceive the best possible website commercial for my clients, stay tune in two months from now and see the what 3D website look like.

wow cool! i think they have the best features for now. they even have safety features. Last time i heard gates also crush people and kids. Freak accidents still happens. Jackpro is good since they have all the features.

which type of swing type auto gate better? those which underground or arm type better?

the arm type looks better and lasts longer..but more expensive
im currently using jackpro..solid and stylish

wat hapen for armtype autogate if children keep jumpin or step on the arm...can it resist the weight? cos i heard fr my fren da arm wil bend and jam internally. is dat true?

not sure.anybody has experience this b4?

hmm ... my auto gate is giving me some problem. any idea who should call for repair?

wats ur prob? mind to share?

errr ... i think the control board or the receiver got problems. I can't open the door or sometimes the door will open itselfs or close by itselfs ... but now the problem is i can't control the auto gate ... not functiong ... lol

i got 1 contact from my friend and will call him later ...

Will recommend to everyone here if that guy is good

consult your sales agent or the shop where you get your autogate from..they should have contacts..

anyway interested to install autogate or alarm system can check out the link below.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=898239&hl=

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.



Philip Fong

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.
this is new type of autogate for swing ot folding gate
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...

This post has been edited by advocado: Feb 23 2009, 01:34 PM

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).

i am going to renovate my house soon
the contractor recommend me to install the autogate wiring with 7 cables compare to the normal 3 cables one?

do u know what's the difference between 7 cables and 3 cables?
btw, wats the general cost for the wiring alone? (for 3 cables)

7 wire cable is for more sophisticated gate motors with counter circuitry. i.e. apart from power supplied to energize the motor there would also be signals coming back to the control board to indicate the degree of rotation of the motors. these allow better control of the opening angle, speed of the opening and closing and sensing of obstacles in the gate's path.

If you're going to run wiring and conduit for your gate, then you might as well pull 7 wires instead of 3 as the cost of the extra wires is not going to cost you all that much more.

Cabling cost varies as it depends your gates configuration.
1. distance from gate to electrical source
2. wring running in surface conduit or embed in underground or in walls?
3. Amount of hacking required
4. refinishing of surfaces, e.g. repainting, re-tilling, concrete etc?
5. the type of gate you're planning to install. e.g. Types of gates

This post has been edited by weitatt: Jul 9 2009, 08:25 AM

thx for ur feedback
seems like the contractor is not fooling an outsider like me

however, he quoted me for rm1500 for installation alone, the cost includes:
35ft cabling, hacking the current cement ground, embed it in the ground,
resurface with cement again and install arm gate system

not including re-tiling (will be getting new tiles later on)

If it is RM1500 excluding the gate system that is really expensive!

What brand autogate are you getting? You should nego to get the Autogate & Installation together, you'll be able to get a much better price. contact http://autogatemalaysia.blogspot.com/ and tell them that you've been referred online to get a better quote.


This post has been edited by weitatt: Jul 9 2009, 11:30 AM

Yes, RM1500 without the system (arm, motor, gate)
What's the standard price btw?

Need to nego nego with him because we'll let him do take the whole project and get better bargaining power

if i am not mistaken, my wireman charge me about 1.2-1.3K for the concealed armour cable for auto gate, not sure how many wires that this cable got.
expensive ?

Those price u guys mentioned, does it include the gate itself?
Else how much they cost for the gate alone?

nope, the gate depends on what type and size of the gate.

roughly how much let say for 20x70 house and norml quality gate?

You'll need the following wires for a typical swing arm installation:-

1. 3-core 240V AC from power source to gate control box.

2. 2-core low voltage signal wire from control box to inside house for gate push-button switch (this is optional, if installing this switch is going to involve hacking and ugly conduits all over the place, then just use the remote)

3. 3-7 core low voltage wire from control box to left motor.

4. 3-7 core low voltage wire from control box to right motor (could be under driveway from post to post). Wiring Diagram

5. Optional : 2-core low voltage wire from control box to solenoid lock. (routed within the gate)

The material cost should not cost more that RM200 -RM300 (wires, conduit, joints, switches, cement etc), all in I would say for a medium size gate if the work can be completed in a day it should not cost more that RM500-RM700. If this work was undertaken by an Autogate installer they'll just factor it in as part of the installation and quote an incremental lump sum

This post has been edited by weitatt: Jul 9 2009, 02:34 PM

thanks for the info.
i am still a bit blur, is the above considered as using normal cable or amour cable ? my wireman told me there is 2 ways of doing the wiring for the front porch, one is to use amour cable, while the other is using many cable, basically a cable for light , a cable for door bell, one for gate, etc.. , can explain more about this ?

Armoured cable is expensive and overkill for you simple application. coloured code electrication cable routed through the appropriate conduit is sufficient as the power/amp requirements to power your gate and lights is not all that demanding. For electrical work get multiple quotations as electricians can really charge alot if you don't know what you want. PM me if you would like me to refer you to my trusted electrician. He's certified, fair and does a proper job.

weitatt
many thanks for ur information

really appreciate it!!

my autogate came with purchasing of the 2nd hand house, the owner told me the guy who installed for him no longer with this business,
so, is it likely to ask others to repair it if the autogate got problem?

Normally a key is given in the event of power failure.

I fixed mine for RM1200 including installation (armor cable). The motor was german based but all assembled and rest of the part built in Msia. That was back in 2004. Still going strong not a problem.

Added on July 22, 2009, 4:20 pmIf a quality motor is used, you hardly would face problem with the system. With Swing gate, most encountered problem is the gate alignment due to wear and tear from the movement or children bang the door.

This post has been edited by VeeJay: Jul 22 2009, 04:31 PM

You should be able to get other installers to repair your gate provided they have good contacts with autogate suppliers and manufactuers, Spareparts are generally easily available for most major brands of autogate systems. You should check out Autogate Malaysia for details of your gate, spare parts and call to get a quotation.

thank you Veejay & weitatt.........

There are quite a number of options in the market. Jackpro is a local brand, so is MAG.
They are both quite common brands and have good and bad reviews from the users, mainly it depends on the batch of the product as the components (e.g. motor) varies from batch to batch. If you have the budget you can consider using imported brands like Stagnoli, Telcoma or FAAC, main difference is price (RM2000+) and the quality of the components especially the motors and the gears.

Buying an Autogate is not a easy choice, ideally you want to get a realiable system that will last at least 7+ years. Do your research! You can find details of most of the local system on the following site => Autogate Price, Brochures & Specifications

This post has been edited by weitatt: Aug 5 2009, 01:22 PM

Hi,

Since there is so many discussion on autogate, I decided to chirp in and get some opinion. Please give some opinion is this can work.

I am planning to do renovation for my house and got some quote for autogate wiring (only wiring as I will do all the resealing of the cable myself as renovation people can help me do that). However, those quote I think is a bit too much as wiring does not even cost more than RM100. So, I am planning to do some DIY wiring which is something like this.

I plan to pull an armour wire (7/5 core) from my indoor living room switches to the control box outside which is around 25 feets. In my living room switches, there is 1 switch which connects to my outside gate light which I plan to use and reconnect for my autogate as it is already connected to the MCB with power. With this I can already connect the power to the autogate and use the current switch for push button switch. Outside my home, I can pull another 2 armour cables from the control box to the left and right swing arm which is maybe 5 feets and 15 feets respectively. I can also pull a colour code cable from the control box to the outside gate light to light it whenever the autogate is operating.

Possible? Hope can technical people can give some comment as I feel this can be done easily rather than pay a few hundreds for something which is simple. Thanks.

Of course laying cables is nothing fancy and anybody can do it. The dirty part is to cut the wall, dig the trench and patch everything up as new again. If you can get someone else to do that part for you for free, DIY is a way to go. My electrician charged me rm350 for installing 7 core armour cable from key pad to control box, 5 core from left post to right post. and 2 close-only switches on outside and inside the gate. The autogate supplier quoted me rm500.

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.

This post has been edited by weitatt: Jun 12 2010, 11:14 PM

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.

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?
