Automatic Gate Repair Kenya

Gate stopped working, opens only halfway, or the remote no longer responds? Qyvea diagnoses the fault, explains the cause and quotes the repair before any work begins.

Who repairs automatic gates in Kenya?

Qyvea Limited repairs automatic gates across Kenya, whether we installed them or not. If your gate is not opening, not closing, jamming, or responding intermittently, the first step is diagnosis — not replacement. We test the motor, the control panel, the safety sensors, the remotes and the gate mechanics separately, then quote the fix.

Faults we fix

Common gate faults

Gate not moving at all

No response from motor or control panel. Diagnosed as power, motor, panel or controller issue.

Gate opens but not closes

Usually a safety beam or sensor issue. The controller refuses to close as a safety measure.

Remote not working

Dead remote battery, lost pairing, receiver fault or interference from another nearby remote.

Gate moves slowly or stops

Motor struggling, gearbox wear, gate wheel drag, or the gate itself out of alignment.

Gate reverses mid-way

Safety sensor triggering incorrectly. Common after heavy rain or insect ingress into the beam housing.

Backup battery dead

Gate works on mains but fails during power cuts. Battery replaced and tested.

Repair vs replace

What can be repaired and what cannot

Repairable: backup batteries, control boards where the fault is a single component, limit switches, capacitors, safety beams, remotes that need re-pairing, and gate mechanical issues such as wheel drag or misalignment.
Sometimes repairable: motors where the fault is a capacitor or a limit switch. Motors with burnt windings or water ingress are usually replaced.
Usually replaced: motors with failed gearboxes, water-damaged control panels, receivers that are no longer produced.
Always quoted first: we tell you the cost of repair vs. replacement before you decide.

FAQ

Common repair questions

Why has my automatic gate stopped working?

Common causes are a flat backup battery, a tripped control panel, a burnt motor, a remote that lost its pairing, a safety sensor stuck in alarm, or a gate that is physically jammed on its track. A repair visit tests these separately before any part is replaced.

Can you repair a gate motor installed by another company?

Yes. Qyvea repairs gate motors and gate automation regardless of who installed them. We diagnose the fault, explain the cause, and quote the repair before doing any work.

Why does my gate open but not close?

The most common cause is a safety beam or sensor that is blocked, misaligned, wet or dirty. The controller refuses to close the gate as a safety measure. Other causes include a limit switch fault or a control panel configuration issue.

Do you repair or replace the gate motor?

We repair the motor where the fault is a control board, a limit switch, a capacitor or a small component. Where the motor has burnt out, water got inside, or the gearing has failed, replacement is usually more cost-effective and we say so.

How much does automatic gate repair cost in Kenya?

Cost depends on the fault. A battery or remote repair costs far less than replacing a motor or a control board. Qyvea diagnoses the fault and quotes the repair before work begins.
