D5 Smart Sliding Gate Automation Kenya

Gate automation in Kenya is becoming increasingly popular as homeowners, institutions, and commercial property managers seek enhanced security, convenience, and modern appeal. Whether you’re planning to automate an existing gate or invest in a new one, this guide will walk you through the costs, systems, benefits, installation process, and leading gate motor brands such as Centurion Gate Motors Kenya.

How Much Does it Cost to Automate Gates in Kenya?

Automating a gate is a valuable investment, but it’s important to know what to expect in terms of cost. At Premier Automatic Gate Systems, we focus on providing reliable and cost-effective gate automation services in Kenya.

Average Costs:

  • Swing Gate Automation: From Ksh 140,000

  • Sliding Gate Automation: From Ksh 110,000

These costs are for automation systems only and do not include the fabrication of the actual gate. Prices may vary depending on the size, weight, condition of the gate, type of terrain, and add-on features like GSM control, solar backup, or remote access.

Can You Automate an Existing Gate?

Yes, existing gates can be automated in most cases. Our technicians will conduct a free on-site survey to determine compatibility.

Key Considerations:

  • The gate should be well-aligned and structurally sound

  • Hinges must face each other for swing gates

  • For sliding gates, there must be space for motor placement and gear track

  • Gates opening outward may need adjustments or custom mounting

  • Electric power or solar installation should be factored in

Our team is experienced in modifying existing gates to suit automation without replacing the whole system—saving you money.

Benefits of Installing Automatic Gates in Kenya

1. Enhanced Security

Automated gates restrict unauthorized access, making them ideal for residential compounds, gated communities, offices, schools, and industrial premises. When integrated with CCTV and access control systems, they create a secure perimeter.

2. Convenience

Open and close your gate using a remote control, mobile app, keypad, or even RFID tags. No need to exit your car—perfect during bad weather or late hours.

3. Property Value Boost

An automatic gate system adds visual appeal and functionality to your property. For commercial premises, it portrays a professional and secure environment. For homes, it elevates privacy and sophistication.

4. Smart Integration

Smart-enabled gate systems like the Centurion D6 Smart allow mobile control, scheduled access, gate status monitoring, and remote diagnostics.
