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 😂

There is DG gate from Klang who happens to use DCMoto GFM 925W or GFM975 while Fagolli Autogate which happens to be DCMoto very own aluminium trackless gate. I would recommend Fagolli Autogate as they are using the latest version of the DCMoto GFM 975 which additional optional accessories like key activated partial side opening without carrying remote control and close-only wireless button for closing gate upon exit. Both item are wireless and runs on a lithium battery which said should last up to 10 years. Fagolli even have the GFM 975 in solar powered version for off the grid Autogate operation but you’ll need to replace two 12V 7aH SLA battery every 3-4 years.

Was looking through TikTok and saw one Golden Top Door. Seems like DCMoto is the default local brand. Update - Looked at Fagolli, cannot accept their gate design. Isnt the Delux using the same moto you mentioned? No need auto sensor and solar. This post has been edited by dudester: Dec 4 2025, 04:17 PM
