Hi I had just had my auto gate installed. It's swing out type but when I open it, the gate will open until kena the pillar. I ask my installer and they said it's normal. I remember my friends' autogates didn't kena the pillar. I'm worried that after some time the pillar's cement will come off or the gate badly scratched.

I choose DC Moto because my gate is the folding type. It allows the folding gate panels to be close together when fully opened; thus having a larger effective opening width. If I was to use the use the telescopic arm type, it could reduce the opening width due to the arm between the gate panels. 
I believe there are other brands...

Already PM you the supplier's contact.

You could ask your auto gate installer to place a rubber stopper at both the pillars. Problem solved. biggrin.gif

May I know what's the price for auto gate motor and cabeling for the brand Celmer? My autogate got problem just after installing for 2 weeks (alignment haywire and insensitive remote control) and I wonder if I was given an inferior brand. My neighbour installed their autogate for cheaper price and no problem at all with their autogate.

If the cables include installation than is cheap. Hacking and installing armor cable can be from 400 to 1k depend on site.

What is the brand? You should call back the installer and check.

The brand is Celmer. Yeah, install cable from switch inside my house to the gate pillar. Use back my old gate without doing the bearing.

My neighbour did for RM1700 and include bearing. I don't mind the fact that I pay more than my neighbours but I'm starting to wonder whether I'm paying the price for what I get? Or I was over quote?

So far, comparing theirs to mine, I noticed their gate open and close quite smoothly, remote can be sensed from far. Mine : open and close very slow and now left hand side became slower so currently looks very imbalance. When I press my remote to 'open' then try to press again to 'stop', the gate don't respond to stop immediately. Need to press one more time, only it will respond. rclxub.gif

You need to have bearing, if not the gate will not close or open smooth (especially when gate is heavy) Better ask the installer come and check.

How is your remote look like? I have 7 remote with me smile.gif, 4 are dip switch, 3 are copy. The copy type will respond slower.

Don't compare price. We can always find cheaper after we brought the things.

How to say.. the simple 2 button type. One for opening one side only, another to open two side. Press back the same button to stop and to close back.

Not trying to compare price.. but very sakit hati when you see the door doesn't operated as good as you want. Just need to know.. am I paying the correct price for Celmer autogate? If yes, then I accept the fact and ask the ppl to come again and adjust.

Hi guys,

Can the autogate dysfunction if some one cut off the wire at the hand/swinger of the autogate?

I looked at my autogate and those of my neighbours, all has a little exposed wire there, so I wonder what happens if someone cut them. What if you have some kids playing prankster and cut them or burglar?

Is there anything I can add to it to protect the wires?
