Swing Gate Motor Installation in Kenya
Swing gate motors only work well when the bracket geometry is right — get it wrong and the gate will not open fully or the motor strains. Here is how we install swing gate motors, single or double.
Step by step
- Check the gate — hinges sound and the leaves swing freely; pillars strong enough for brackets.
- Geometry — pillar and gate brackets set to Centurion's installation dimensions for the required opening angle.
- Operators — one per leaf, fitted level and secured.
- Controller and battery — in a weatherproof box, with charger or solar panel.
- Safety — beams across the opening; obstacle sensing set correctly.
- Commissioning — limits, leaf delay (so double gates close in the right order), auto-close and remotes.
Swing motors we install most
Most often the Centurion Vantage 500, battery-driven so it works in power cuts.
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.

How getting your gate automated works
- Free site surveyA Qyvea technician checks the gate weight and track, the power point and where the beams go. The gate must run freely by hand first; we tell you if it needs fixing.
- Itemised quoteYou get every line in writing: motor, rack or brackets, safety beams, remotes, cabling and labour. No surprises on the day.
- Install & hand-overWe fit and test the motor, set the limits and auto-close, pair your remotes or app, and show you the manual release for power cuts.

Frequently asked questions
How much does swing gate motor installation cost in Kenya?
It depends on the number of leaves, brackets, cabling and safety accessories, so we quote after a free site survey. Swing motors we install start from KES 69,000.
Can the gate open outward?
Yes, with different bracket arrangements — we check the space and slope at the survey.
My double gate closes in the wrong order — can you fix it?
Yes, that is a leaf-delay setting on the controller; we set it so the leaves close in the right order.
