Automatic Gate Maintenance for Factories & Industrial Sites in Kenya

Factories and industrial premises put more physical strain on security equipment than almost any other environment — dust, vibration, heat, and continuous shift operations. Systems here need servicing on a schedule that accounts for the harsher conditions, not the standard office interval. Qyvea services, diagnoses and repairs automatic gate systems for factories & industrial sites, including systems installed by another company.

Motors, sensors and safety systems — tested properly.

Why Automatic Gates Need Regular Servicing

Gate motors are mechanical systems doing physical work every single day — opening and closing under load, in sun and rain, year-round. Bearings wear, chains stretch, and safety sensors drift out of alignment long before a gate actually stops working.

Automatic gate servicing typically covers:

  • Motor and control board testing
  • Safety sensor and limit switch checks
  • Remote and receiver testing
  • Backup battery testing
  • Track, hinge and lubrication checks
  • Written service reports

If your automatic gate system was installed by another provider, we assess it on its own merits and tell you plainly what we can do.

Discuss a Contract

We Didn't Install It? That's Fine.

Properties change hands, contractors move on, and the original installer of your automatic gate system may no longer be around. None of that means the system is beyond help.

We assess the existing equipment and configuration, then tell you plainly whether it can be:

  • Repaired as-is
  • Reconfigured
  • Upgraded in part
  • Partially replaced
  • Fully replaced, if that's genuinely the sensible option

We can't promise every third-party system is repairable sight unseen — some equipment is genuinely past its useful life — but we assess before we conclude that.

FAQ

Common questions about automatic gate maintenance

How often should automatic gate systems be serviced in a factory?

Most factory sites benefit from servicing every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and exposure to the elements.

Can you service systems installed by another company?

In most cases yes — we assess the equipment and its condition first, then confirm what can be serviced or repaired.

Do you offer maintenance contracts for factories & industrial sites?

Yes. Maintenance contracts are scoped to the number of devices, sites, and required response times — contact us to discuss what a contract would cover.

What if the equipment can't be repaired?

We tell you plainly and quote for the specific replacement needed, rather than repeated repair attempts on something that genuinely needs replacing.

Do you provide a written report after servicing?

Yes — every scheduled service visit includes a written record of what was checked, found, and recommended.

Can you service both sliding and swing gates?

Yes — our technicians service and repair both sliding and swing automatic gate systems.
