[Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) installs automatic gates across Kenya for homes, estates, offices and factories. Installation starts with a free site survey to assess the gate, its posts and the ground it runs on, then a motor is selected to match the gate's weight and opening style. Every installation is finished with safety sensors, at least two remotes, and integration with the existing intercom, keypad or access control where required. See the full [Automatic Gates service overview](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gates) for the wider range. Gate types ## Gate types we install ### Sliding gates Space-saving and ideal for driveways. The gate slides along a track or cantilever. ### Swing gates Single or dual-leaf swing gates, hinged on the posts and driven by hydraulic or electromechanical arms. ### Folding gates Bi-folding gates for very tight spaces. Open faster than sliding gates of the same length. ### Cantilever gates Sliding gates without a ground track, where the ground cannot carry a track or leaves collect. ### Heavy industrial Large sliding gates for factories and yards, with high-torque motors and safety beams. ### Small pedestrian gates Matching automatic pedestrian gates for staff, walk-in visitors and service access. What the installation covers ## What is installed on-site - **Gate motor** — sized for the gate's weight and opening type. See [Gate Motors](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gate-motors-kenya) for hardware detail. - **Control panel** — the box that runs the motor, manages the remotes and reads the safety sensors. - **Safety beams or sensors** — stop the gate if something or someone crosses the path. - **Warning light and signage** — visual warning before the gate moves. - **Remote controls and receivers** — usually two remotes per gate as standard. - **Keypad, intercom or access control** — for guests, deliveries and staff. See [Access Control](https://qyvea.co.ke/access-control-systems-kenya). - **Backup battery** — so the gate still works during power cuts. Process ## How installation runs - **Free site survey** — we measure the gate, check the ground or track, and assess the power supply. - **Motor selection** — sliding, swing, folding or cantilever, sized for the gate. See [Gate Motors](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gate-motors-kenya). - **Installation day** — motor mounted, control panel wired, safety sensors fitted, integration set up. - **Testing** — gate cycles tested with the client present. Remotes paired and tested. - **Handover** — client trained on using the gate, using the remotes, and what to do during a power cut. FAQ ## Common questions How long does automatic gate installation take? A standard residential sliding or swing gate takes one day. Heavier gates, new gate fabrication, or full automation with intercom and access control may take 2 to 3 days. Can you automate my existing gate? Yes. Most manual gates can be automated as long as the gate moves freely, the posts are solid and the gate weight is within a motor's rated range. The site survey confirms this. Do you install outside Nairobi? Yes. Qyvea installs automatic gates across Kenya including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Ruiru and Kiambu. What does gate automation installation include? Site survey, motor selection, mounting, wiring, safety sensors, remote controls, and integration with intercom, keypad or access control if required. Testing and handover training are included. How much does automatic gate installation cost in Kenya? Cost depends on gate type and weight, motor size, whether new fabrication is needed, and integration requirements.
