Take the batteries out of spare remotes to test. - **Exit button or intercom wiring** — water in a push-button or a damaged cable can short the trigger input. - **GSM opener users** — someone authorised on a GSM unit is calling it; check the user list. - **Settings** — some controllers have auto-open or "holiday lockout" options that behave unexpectedly after a reset. - **Lost or cloned remote** — delete remotes you can't account for. ## Fixing it We check the trigger inputs and wiring, clear and recode remotes, and replace faulty buttons or boards. Every price here is our current store price. For supply and installation we visit the site first (free in Nairobi), then send an itemised quote: motor, rack or brackets, safety beams, remotes, cabling and labour.

Yes — until it is fixed, keep the gate locked in manual mode if you can, and delete remotes you can't account for. Can rain make the gate open? Yes — water in a push-button, keypad or cable joint can short the trigger input. ## More on gate automation [Gate Motor Not Closing — Causes and Fixes](https://qyvea.co.ke/gate-motor-not-closing-kenya)[Gate Remote Not Working — What to Check](https://qyvea.co.ke/gate-remote-not-working-kenya)[Automatic gate repair Kenya](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gate-repair-kenya)[Gate Motor Remote Controls in Kenya](https://qyvea.co.ke/gate-motor-remote-control-kenya)[Centurion G-Speak GSM Gate Opener in Kenya](https://qyvea.co.ke/centurion-g-speak-gsm-gate-opener-kenya)[Gate motor beeping Kenya](https://qyvea.co.ke/gate-motor-beeping-kenya) ### Get it installed Free site survey in Nairobi, then an itemised quote: equipment, rack or brackets, safety beams, remotes and labour.
