Automatic Gates for Homes in Kenya

Automatic gate systems for Kenyan homes — sliding and swing gates automated by certified technicians, with remotes, intercom and backup battery as standard.

Who installs automatic gates for homes in Kenya?

Qyvea Limited installs automatic gates for homes across Kenya — for standalone houses, townhouses, villas and maisonettes. The aim for a home installation is a gate that opens when the driver approaches, closes behind the car, works during a power cut, and does not need attention for years. See the Automatic Gate Installation page for the wider process.

Best for homes

Home gate options

Sliding gate

The most common home choice. Slides along a track or cantilever — no swing clearance needed.

Swing gate

The classic look. Single or dual-leaf, opening inwards or outwards. Good for wide driveways.

Pedestrian gate

A matching automatic side gate for staff, walk-in visitors and household members on foot.

Cantilever gate

Sliding gate that hangs above ground with no track — leaves, gravel and slopes are not a problem.

Small folding gate

Bi-folding gate for tight urban plots where sliding or swing is not possible.

Automated new gate

Fabrication and automation of a new gate, sized and matched to the property.

What comes with it

Standard features on a home gate

Two remotes — additional remotes can be paired for family members or staff.
Safety beams — stop the gate if something crosses the path while it is moving.
Backup battery — gate keeps working through short power cuts. See Solar Backup Solutions for longer protection.
Warning light — flashes before the gate moves, especially useful at night.
Keypad or intercom — for visitors, deliveries and household staff. See Intercom Systems.
Smartphone module — optional. Opens the gate from your phone, useful for guests and remote access.

Integration

How the gate fits with the rest of home security

CCTV — cameras at the gate record every arrival. See CCTV for Homes.
Intercom — talk to visitors before opening the gate, day or night.
Electric fence — perimeter protection as an outer layer. See Electric Fence for Homes.
Home alarm — the gate can be linked to the alarm as an extra zone.

FAQ

Common questions from homeowners

Which automatic gate is best for a home?

For most Kenyan homes, a sliding gate with a track or a cantilever gate is the practical choice because it does not need the swing clearance. Swing gates work well where the driveway is wide and the entrance can accommodate the gate leaf swinging inward or outward.

Can I open my gate from my phone?

Yes. Qyvea can add a smartphone module to the gate controller so you can open the gate from your phone, useful for guests, deliveries and remote access when you are not home.

Does the gate still work during a power cut?

Yes. A backup battery fitted inside the control panel keeps the gate working for several hours after mains power is lost. The battery is tested during maintenance visits.

How many remotes come with a home gate?

Two remotes as standard. Additional remotes can be supplied and paired for family members, staff or a regular visitor.

How much does an automatic gate cost for a home in Kenya?

Cost depends on gate type, gate weight, motor choice, and whether intercom or access control integration is included. Qyvea provides a free site survey and itemised quote.
