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?

Make your own remote controller?

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.

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... 

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.

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.

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..

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

and how are the price range for these 3?
