AUTOGATE FAQ

Questions we get every week

Straight answers about autogate motors in Malaysia — which one suits your gate, what happens when the power goes, and what it costs. Still stuck? WhatsApp us and a real person will answer.

What happens to my gate during a power cut?

It keeps working. Every DNOR system carries a backup battery good for up to 72 hours of operation, so a blackout does not leave you locked in or out.

How much does a DNOR autogate cost in Malaysia?

The final figure depends on your gate type, its width and weight, whether wiring already exists, and which accessories you add. Our cost guide breaks down what goes into the price, and a quote for your specific gate is free.

Does DNOR manufacture its own motors?

Yes. Promax Automations was founded in 2009 and launched its first motor, the Model 712, in 2010. Its own manufacturing company, DNOR Automation Sdn Bhd, was formed in 2011, and every unit is quality-tested at the Puchong factory before it ships.

Is a DNOR motor built for the Malaysian climate?

It is engineered for it specifically. DNOR pairs Italian motor technology with engineering done in Puchong, tuned for tropical heat, humidity and monsoon rain rather than a European winter. The durability record is independently verified: 1,459,258 continuous gate swings, certified by the Malaysia Book of Records on 28 March 2023.

My autogate stopped working after a flood — what should I do?

Do not power it back on until it has been checked. Water in the control board or motor housing can turn a repairable fault into a replacement. Our rainy-season guide walks through the steps and what to check first.

Should I repair or replace an old autogate motor?

It comes down to the age of the unit, the cost of the parts still available for it, and how often it has already failed. Our guide sets out where the line usually falls.

Is a DNOR autogate covered by warranty?

Yes. DNOR systems carry a warranty of 1 to 3 years depending on the model, with terms and conditions applied. What it covers and how to claim is set out in our warranty guide.

What is the DNOR Solar Smart Dualcam?

It is a solar-powered dual-lens CCTV camera that needs no wiring and no socket. It streams live HD to your phone, records, and includes a built-in siren, spotlight and detection alarm — and it can trigger your gate from the DNOR app.

How do I use the DNOR remote control and keypad?

Every function of the remote and keypad — pairing, channel settings, the auto-close timer and the alarm controls — is covered step by step in our remote control guide.
