Hi all, would like to ask about automatic folding gate.. I'm new to it but I want to get one for my house..under renovation now..

Yesterday found a discount on the newspaper..and I called them up to ask for quotation..not sure is the price reasonable or not..

13' Wrought Iron Folding Gate (with 4 pieces of door) + Galvanised + Powder Coated + GI Bolt? + Motor
Quotation = RM4500 (He claimed that RM220/ft for the gate only) excluded cabling.

One question for cabling, I didn't change my car porch and driveway's tiles, so if the contractor want to pull the cable for auto gate, they need to hack the tiles to embed the wiring? So it will be another cost for replacing floor tiles?? Please advise.

Is it reasonable? Any recommended contractor to introduce to me? Please pm me the contact, thanks a lot!

Thanks for your reply weikee. It's a corner lot, so I have only 1 party wall at car porch and driveway, is it possible to concealed the cabling into the party wall (one brickwall only)? The brickwall just done last week only. I choose not to hack the floor tiles if possible because that will be additional cost for hacking and repairing floor tiles. =.="

It's an old house. Existing house don't have cabling because it's not an autogate.

Do you have any idea what the cost like for folding gate? Got several quotation, almost 4-5k, but got 1 quoted estimate RM3500.

Any recommended contractor please?

Nope, the wall link to the staircase because my staircase is attached to the party wall, and there's DB and switches besides the staircase.

A/C power? Do you mean the power of the motor to swing the folding gate?

It's a local brand, it's their own brand I think. So is better to take any brand except China right? :hmm:

Recently I got a quotation from a contractor..

I asked him to quote for the following:

1) 13' Wrought Iron Folding Gate (With simple horizontal rail, top steel bottom wood)
2) Powder coated + Galvanised
3) Heavy Duty Motor System
4) Galvanised Bolt and Nut
5) Armoured Wiring concealed into wall

Price : RM4,700

Is it reasonable?

Cool! Then I'm going to confirm with the guy. If not mistaken, the armoured cable cost about RM500-600. He quoted RM5100, after negotiation, then he gave a final discount at RM4700. My house at Bukit Rimau.
