[Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) maintains automatic gates across Kenya for homes, estates, businesses and industrial sites. An automatic gate is a machine that moves every day — a sliding gate on a 200-cycle-a-day commercial driveway covers the same distance in a year as a car doing thousands of kilometres. Motors, tracks, wheels and safety sensors all wear, and the wear is quiet until the gate jams or fails at a bad moment. What we check ## What a gate service covers ### Motor health check Current draw measured against rated draw. Rising current is an early warning sign of wear. ### Gearbox grease Grease checked or topped up on motors that have grease points. Sealed motors reviewed by cycle count. ### Track cleaning Ground tracks and cantilever rails cleared of grit, leaves and debris that cause drag. ### Wheel & roller inspection Wheels and rollers checked for flat spots, play and alignment issues. ### Safety sensor test Beams and sensors tested with a physical obstruction — gate must reverse correctly. ### Backup battery test Battery load-tested. A dying battery fails silently and only shows during a power cut. Contracts ## Maintenance contracts For homes, estates, businesses and industrial sites that rely on the gate running every day, Qyvea offers scheduled maintenance contracts. A contract typically includes: - Visits at an agreed frequency (quarterly, half-yearly or annual) - Priority response for faults between visits - Documented motor current, battery and sensor readings after every visit - Discounted replacement parts where items fail Contracts are also available for [homes](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gates-for-homes-kenya), [estates](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gates-for-estates-kenya) and [businesses](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gates-for-businesses-kenya). Frequency ## How often should a gate be serviced? - **Quarterly** — high-cycle gates: estates, businesses, factories, high-traffic driveways. - **Half-yearly** — most residential homes and lighter commercial sites. - **Annually** — low-cycle homes where the gate opens only a few times a day. The right frequency depends on how the gate is used, not on a fixed rule. Qyvea advises after the first site visit. FAQ ## Common maintenance questions How often should an automatic gate be serviced? Most residential gates benefit from a service every 6 to 12 months. Business and estate gates with heavy cycle counts benefit from quarterly servicing. What does automatic gate maintenance include? Motor current check, gearbox grease, track cleaning and lubrication, wheel inspection, safety sensor test, backup battery test, remote battery check and control panel review.
