Do you include safety features in your gate automation systems in Kenya?

Indeed, safety is one of the most crucial areas we focus on while doing the installation of automatic gates. In Kenya, the best safety system is the use of infra-red safety beams. Safety beams work by shining a beam across the gate path. When someone or something says a car, the gate will not close on the car or the person. Additional, we include an electronic lock which ensures that the gate is securely locked and no one can access your home.
Infra-red safety beams are available as wired or wireless options to suit any clients needs. Centurion’s Photon Wireless safety beams have the advantage in that you don’t have to dig across your driveway to wire them.
