Why More Homeowners Are Switching to Electric Gates

Security is no longer optional in Nairobi. Whether you live in Karen, Kilimani, or Ruaka, an electric gate is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your property. It gives you controlled access, deters intruders, and adds serious kerb appeal — all at the push of a button.

But not all installations are equal. A poorly fitted gate — wrong motor, weak framework, or shoddy wiring — will cost you more in repairs than it ever saved upfront. That's why choosing the right team matters

What We Install

We specialise in fully automated sliding and swing gates fitted with keypad entry panels, remote controls, and intercom systems. The keypad unit you see in the image above is a CAME brand access control panel — a robust, weather-resistant unit commonly used in residential and commercial installations across East Africa.

Sliding gates — ideal for properties with limited driveway swing space

Swing gates — a classic look, great for wider entrances

Keypad & intercom entry — manage who comes in without leaving your house

Remote & GSM control — open your gate from your phone, anywhere

Solar-powered options — no KPLC dependency, no power-cut headaches

What Does the Installation Process Look Like?

We handle everything from site survey to final testing. Here's how a typical installation goes:

Site survey — we assess your driveway, gate dimensions, power availability, and security needs

Gate fabrication — custom steel or aluminium gate built to your measurements

Motor & control panel fitting — motor mounting, wiring, and keypad/intercom installation

Testing & handover — full system test, remote programming, and walkthrough for you

How Long Does It Take?

Most residential installations are completed within 1–2 days. Larger commercial setups or multi-gate properties may take 3–5 days depending on complexity.

What About Maintenance?

Electric gates are low maintenance when properly installed, but they do need occasional attention. We recommend:

Lubrication of rails and hinges every 6 months

Battery backup checks every 12 months

Annual motor service for high-traffic gates

We offer service contracts so you're never left with a gate that won't open.
