Door Access Control Kenya

An electric strike replaces part of the existing door frame strike plate and releases the latch when unlocked — good for wooden and light metal doors, and it keeps the door looking unchanged. A maglock holds the door shut with an electromagnet and releases when power is cut — stronger, used on heavy doors and where fail-safe operation is required.

Doors on escape routes must fail-safe (release on power loss). Doors protecting assets — server rooms, cash offices, exam stores — often fail-secure, meaning they stay locked if power is lost. The right choice is discussed per door during the site survey.

Yes. Most access control installations retrofit to existing doors. We fit the lock, reader and exit hardware onto the existing door leaf and frame — only drilling where necessary.

RTE stands for Request to Exit. It is a button, PIR sensor or push bar on the inside of a controlled door that lets someone exit without needing to use their credential. Required on most doors for safety and convenience.

Cost per door depends on the lock type, reader type and whether the door already has the necessary wiring and power. Qyvea quotes per door so the client sees what each door costs.
