The installed cost depends on the gate type, dimensions, weight, expected traffic and site work. An existing gate in suitable condition may only need automation equipment and installation. A new gate project may also include fabrication, foundations, wiring and entry controls.
What to check on the quotation. Confirm the motor and controller models, remotes, safety devices, installation, testing and any backup power requested. Ask for fabrication, electrical work and civil work to be itemised where applicable, and confirm who will carry out each task.
Sliding vs Swing Gate Automation
| Option | When to consider it | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic sliding gate | The gate can travel sideways along the boundary. | Side clearance, gate weight, track or support condition and space for the motor. |
| Automatic swing gate | One or two gate leaves can swing through a clear area. | Driveway slope, opening direction, hinge condition, post suitability and clearance for each leaf. |
| Automation for an existing gate | You want to keep the gate and add or replace its motor. | How freely the gate moves and whether its structure, supports and existing controls suit the proposed equipment. |
Gate Motor Installation and Access Control Options
A gate automation quotation can cover site assessment, motor and controller selection, mounting, cabling, configuration and testing. The proposed motor is checked against the gate dimensions, expected opening frequency and the manufacturer’s limits.
- Remote controls and keypads. Tell us who needs access and how many remotes or user codes you need.
- Intercom or RFID integration. Share the models of existing devices so we can check compatibility and quote for any interface or cabling required.
- Operation during power cuts. Ask whether the proposed equipment supports battery backup or manual release, and confirm what will be available during an outage.
- Safety checks and handover. Confirm how the installer will assess trapping and crushing points, pedestrian routes and the need for safety beams or edges. Agree on the operational checks and user instructions to be provided at handover.
Automatic Gate Installation FAQs
Can I automate an existing manual gate?
It may be possible if the gate moves freely and its structure and supports are suitable. Share photos of the full opening, the hinges or track and the area around the gate. A site survey can help determine whether repairs or modifications are needed first.
Can I buy a gate motor without installation?
Yes. Request an equipment-only quotation with your gate type, dimensions, approximate weight if known and expected opening frequency. For a replacement, send the existing motor make and model so we can check compatibility and availability.
Can an intercom open my automatic gate?
An intercom can open the gate if it has a compatible connection to the gate controller. Send both model numbers and explain who should be able to grant entry. Ask whether the quote includes any additional interface, wiring and testing.
Do you install automatic gates outside Nairobi?
Yes. Share your town, gate details and preferred dates. We’ll confirm the equipment, work and scheduling available for your site, along with any applicable delivery or travel charges.
