Anyone still lurking around this thread?

I am currently renovating my house. The new gate will be 14ft wide, 5.5ft high 4 panel folding making each panel around 3.5ft. Now, the headache part is choosing the correct gate motor.

The gate maker suggested me to get the D'Nor as most of his customers are using this brand and so far the reliability rate is high. I had read abit and there seems like there are a lot of people suggesting Dc Moto or Legate. Anybody experience to point out for the pros and cons of these few brands? Thanks

@kelvyn,

I had already asked and the guy mentioned, most likely it will take up around 1.5ft per side at most including the arm so roughly, I still have 11 ft of opening which I think is adequate. I think probably going for the arm is still the best, or you any have other suggestions?

@weikee

Yeah, pretty much figured that also.

Been following your home thread for quite some time as a silent reader, so have you done up with your gate yet?



Actually after some reading, I am quite incline for Dc Moto GFM 905 but just don't know about the spare part availability for this brand. A youtube video I found about this model online.

He said at most so I can expect lesser, probably if can be done around 1ft region then I am happy enough. I will talk to my gate contractor and see on this issue. How much did you pay for the gate motor?

For those that using DC Moto 905, what is your max remote range let's say from inside the car. Mine 10 meters also cannot reach.

Cause I would like to press it slightly before reaching the house and by the time the car reaches the gate, the gate is wide enough for the car to enter.
