Automatic Gate Installation Cost in Kenya

Automatic gate installation cost depends on your existing gate, its weight and the motor needed -- not a flat rate. Here's honestly what drives it.

What Affects Cost

What Actually Drives Gate Automation Cost

Existing gate weight & condition

A heavier gate needs a more capable (costlier) motor; a gate needing structural repair adds cost before automation even begins.

Swing vs sliding

These use different motor types and mounting approaches, which affects both equipment and labour cost.

Motor duty rating

Residential-duty motors cost less than commercial/industrial-duty motors rated for frequent, heavy use.

Safety devices required

Photocell safety beams are a genuine requirement, not optional, and add to the base installation cost.

Power availability at the gate

If mains power doesn't already reach the gate, wiring (or a solar trickle-charge option) adds cost.

Access control integration

Adding a keypad, remote system or intercom at the gate is often bundled but is a separate cost component.

Why No Fixed Price

Why We Don't Publish a Fixed Installation Price

Gate weight, type and condition vary enormously from property to property, so a fixed published price would be inaccurate for most gates. We assess your specific gate and provide a written, itemised quote.

FAQ

Common questions

Why doesn't Qyvea publish a fixed gate automation price?

Because gate weight, type (swing or sliding) and condition vary enormously between properties, so a fixed price would be inaccurate for most gates.

Does my existing gate need to be in good condition first?

Yes, generally -- automating a structurally weak or misaligned gate can cause the motor to fail prematurely, so repairs may be needed first.

Is a site visit required for a quote?

A site visit gives the most accurate quote, since motor selection depends on the gate's actual weight and condition.

Are safety beams included in the quote by default?

They should be included as standard, since they're a genuine safety requirement -- confirm this is in any quote you receive.
