Existing systems supported, whether we installed them or not. ## Who maintains access control systems in Kenya? [Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) maintains and repairs access control systems across Kenya — for offices, apartments, schools, factories and estates. A maintenance visit is not just about fixing what is broken; it also checks that the system is still doing what the site thinks it is doing — every door responding to the right credentials, every user record current, every backup current. Faults we fix ## Common access control faults ### Reader not reading Reader fault, cable break, controller fault or power supply problem. ### Door not locking / unlocking Failed electric strike or maglock, door closer issue, misaligned door or controller relay fault. ### No audit trail Database corruption, clock drift, controller memory full or software sync failure. ### Cards stopped working Database corruption, reader firmware fault or card technology mismatch. ### System loses power Failing backup battery, PSU fault or overloaded controller power rail. ### Doors won't release on fire alarm Integration wiring fault or relay config. Safety-critical — fixed as a priority. What's included ## What a maintenance visit covers - Testing every reader with a known credential - Checking every door's lock, closer, alignment and release - Verifying controller operation and battery backup - Reviewing user accounts and removing stale entries - Checking the audit log for gaps or clock drift - Backing up the system database - Firmware check on readers and controllers - Fire alarm release test on escape-route doors - Written health report per site Contracts ## Maintenance contracts For offices, apartments, schools and factories running access control day in and day out, Qyvea offers scheduled maintenance contracts. A contract typically includes: - Scheduled visits at an agreed frequency (quarterly, half-yearly or annual) - Priority response for faults between visits - Documented system health reports after every visit - Discounted replacement parts where items fail FAQ ## Common maintenance questions Why is my access control reader not reading cards? Common causes are a failed reader, a broken cable between reader and controller, a controller fault, an expired or corrupted database, or a power supply problem. Diagnosis tests each of these before replacement is recommended. Why is my door not locking or unlocking? Faults on door hardware are usually a failed electric strike or maglock, a broken door closer preventing the door from latching, a misaligned door, a power supply failure or a controller relay fault. Can you maintain access control installed by another company? Yes. Qyvea maintains access control systems regardless of who installed them. We document the existing system, back up its configuration, and take over ongoing support. Do you offer maintenance contracts? Yes. Scheduled maintenance contracts for offices, apartments, schools and industrial sites include periodic visits, priority fault response and documented system health reports. How much does access control maintenance cost in Kenya? Cost depends on the number of doors, whether the system has software or hardware faults, and the response time required. Qyvea provides a free initial assessment and a clear contract quote. ## Book an access control maintenance visit Tell us what the system is doing (or not doing). We'll diagnose, quote and fix.
