What is Sliding Gate Automation?

Transform Your Manual Gate Into a Fully Automated System

A sliding gate automation system replaces the effort of manually pushing or pulling your compound gate with a powerful electric motor, intelligent control board, and remote-access devices — giving you seamless, secure entry with the press of a button, a voice command, or a tap on your smartphone. No more stepping out in the rain, no more honking at the gate, no more security risks from leaving your vehicle to open the entrance.

Handles Gates 100kg to 2,500kg+

Our motors cover all residential compound gates, estate entrances, factory perimeter gates, and industrial sliding barriers — precisely spec'd to your gate's actual weight.

Infrared Safety Beams — Stops Automatically

Every installation includes wireless photocell safety beams that instantly stop and reverse the gate if any person, vehicle, or animal is detected in the gate's path.

Works During KPLC Power Cuts

Battery backup is standard in all our packages — your gate continues to operate through typical power outages. Solar backup is available for full off-grid operation.

Multiple Access Methods

Remote control, keypad PIN, RFID card, fingerprint reader, smartphone app, or GSM phone call — choose any combination to suit your household and access needs.

Retrofit on Any Existing Gate

No need to replace your gate. Our team fits the motor, rack, and all electronics onto your existing sliding gate structure — provided it is structurally sound and rolling freely.

Why Premier Automatic Gates Systems

Kenya's Most Trusted Gate Automation Company

We don't just fit motors — we engineer lasting security solutions. Every recommendation we make is based on your gate's actual weight, your daily usage patterns, and your property's unique conditions.

We are an authorised installer for BFT, CAME, NICE, FAAC, Centurion, An-Motors, Erreka, and Beninca. Authorised status means genuine products, factory training for our engineers, full manufacturer warranty support, and first-priority access to genuine spare parts. Never purchase a motor without verifying your installer's authorised status — counterfeit motors are widespread in Kenya and carry no warranty.
The most common gate motor failure in Kenya is an under-specified motor on an overweight gate. We physically measure or calculate every gate's weight during site assessment — using dimensions, material type, and infill density — before recommending any motor. We never recommend a motor by visual estimation or rule of thumb. A motor specified correctly for your gate should last 10–20 years; an under-specified motor typically fails within 12–24 months.
The most common single cause of control board failure in Kenya is power surge damage at mains restoration after a KPLC outage. A surge protector installed between the mains supply and the gate motor's control board is a KSh 5,500 insurance policy against a KSh 18,000–45,000 control board replacement. We include a surge protector in every package as a non-optional standard component — it is not an optional extra.
A non-functional gate is a security emergency. Premier Automatic Gates Systems maintains a dedicated service team with same-day emergency response for all Nairobi suburbs. We carry the most commonly required spare parts for every brand we install on our service vehicles — enabling same-visit repairs for the majority of fault types without waiting for parts ordering. WhatsApp a photo or video of your fault for rapid remote diagnosis before we dispatch.
Every quotation from Premier Automatic Gates Systems lists every component, service, and labour element individually. You know exactly what you are paying for before you commit. We do not add items to invoices that were not in the accepted quotation, and we do not quote artificially low to win the job and then inflate the final invoice with "extras." Our written warranty covers both workmanship (2 years) and materials, and is provided in writing at handover.

Make the Right Choice

Sliding Gate vs Swing Gate — Which is Right for You?

Both systems offer excellent security and convenience. The right choice depends on your property layout, inside space, gate design, and budget. Here is an honest, expert comparison:

Sliding Gate

The gate panel slides horizontally along the fence line. Requires wall space behind the gate equal to the gate width + 20–30% for motor and rack overhang. One motor regardless of gate width.

Best for: Properties with limited inside turning space · Sloped driveways · Commercial high-traffic entrances · Budget-conscious buyers · Apartments & estate main gates
✓ Advantages
  • Single motor — lower cost
  • Works on sloped driveways
  • Ideal for narrow inside spaces
  • Faster cycle than swing
  • Harder to force open
✗ Limitations
  • Needs long wall behind gate
  • Track needs regular maintenance
  • Less prestigious aesthetically
  • Cantilever more complex

Swing Gate

The gate leaf swings inward or outward like a large door. Double-leaf systems use two motors — one per leaf. Requires clear inside or outside space equal to the leaf length × 1.1.

Best for: Large plots with flat entrances · Premium residences · Decorative wrought-iron gates · Properties where aesthetics are paramount · Karen, Runda, Muthaiga homes
✓ Advantages
  • Prestigious, elegant appearance
  • No ground track to maintain
  • Underground option available
  • Any gate design possible
  • Very wide openings possible
✗ Limitations
  • Needs swing-arc clear space
  • Double-leaf = two motors
  • Not suited for slopes
  • Higher cost for double-leaf

What Clients Say

Trusted by Homeowners & Businesses Across Kenya

A 4.9-star Google rating from 112+ verified Kenyan reviews — here is what our clients genuinely say.

"The team installed our sliding gate motor in Karen in one day — exactly as quoted, not a shilling more. The D10 Smart is whisper-quiet, opens in seconds, and has worked perfectly through three KPLC outages thanks to the battery backup. The WhatsApp support is genuinely excellent even months later."

James Kamau Verified
Homeowner · Karen, Nairobi

"We automated all three entrance gates at our factory in Industrial Area. The industrial motor has handled 80+ cycles daily without a single fault in over a year. The installation team was professional and the project was completed 2 days ahead of schedule. Very impressed with the workmanship."

P
Peter Odhiambo Verified
Factory Manager · Industrial Area, Nairobi

"I was sceptical about paying for a proper assessment but it was the best decision. They found our gate weighed 850kg — not the 400kg the previous installer had guessed — and specified the correct motor. The gate has worked without any issues and the team was honest and transparent throughout."

Common Questions

Sliding Gate FAQ — Kenya 2025

Every important question answered honestly — so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Sliding gate automation in Kenya starts from KSh 109,000 for a 600kg residential system (Centurion D6 Smart, fully installed). A 1,000kg system costs KSh 158,000 and heavy-duty 2,000kg industrial systems start from KSh 198,000. All prices include motor, battery backup, safety beams, surge protector, rack, cabling, civil works, and professional installation in Nairobi. Use our instant online quote tool for a personalised estimate.
The best motor for your gate depends on its weight and daily cycle count. For most Kenyan residential homes (gates under 600kg, 10–20 cycles/day), the Centurion D6 Smart or BFT Deimos A600 are excellent choices. For heavier residential and estate gates (600–1,000kg), the Centurion D10 Smart or BFT Deimos Ultra are the market leaders. For commercial/industrial gates (1,000–2,500kg), heavy-duty operators from BFT, CAME, or FAAC are recommended. Premier Automatic Gates Systems recommends based on your actual gate weight — never on guesswork.
Yes — every package we install includes a 12V 7Ah backup battery that powers your gate through typical KPLC outages. Most Nairobi outages last 2–8 hours — the backup battery provides 50–150 gate operations without mains power, more than adequate for most scenarios. For areas with frequent or long outages, we recommend our solar backup add-on (KSh 22,000) which charges the battery continuously from a solar panel — providing indefinite off-grid operation. All gates also include a manual release for emergency use.
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. Retrofitting a motor onto an existing sliding gate is one of our most common services — and is significantly less expensive than a gate replacement. The requirements are: the gate must be on wheels (not dragged), must roll freely when pushed by hand, and must have a structurally sound bottom rail suitable for welding or bolting a gear rack. Our engineer will assess your gate during the free site visit and advise honestly on whether a retrofit is appropriate or whether any pre-automation structural work is needed.
A standard residential sliding gate automation on an existing gate typically takes 1–2 days. New gate fabrication plus automation takes 5–10 days from order to installation (depending on gate fabrication lead time). Commercial or complex multi-gate projects may take 2–5 days for the automation works alone. We provide a clear project timeline with every quotation and coordinate with your schedule to minimise disruption.
All our packages include 2 radio remote controls as standard. Additional access methods available as add-ons include: additional remote controls (KSh 2,500–3,500 each), PIN keypad (KSh 8,500–18,000), RFID card reader (KSh 9,500–22,000), fingerprint biometric reader (KSh 18,000–38,000), video intercom (KSh 22,000–55,000), GSM phone-call access module (KSh 3,500–8,500), and smartphone WiFi app control (KSh 8,500–18,500). Most clients opt for remotes plus a keypad as a minimum, with intercoms and fingerprint readers for higher-security needs.
Yes — Premier Automatic Gates Systems services and repairs sliding gate motors from all major brands, including systems installed by other companies. We carry genuine spare parts for BFT, CAME, NICE, FAAC, and Centurion and can typically diagnose and repair most common faults within a single visit. Same-day emergency service is available in Nairobi. WhatsApp us a photo or video of the fault for rapid remote diagnosis before we dispatch a technician.
Yes — Premier Automatic Gates Systems installs across all 47 Kenyan counties. We serve Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret, Thika, Kiambu, Machakos, Nanyuki, and all other major centres. For upcountry projects, a transparent transport supplement (typically KSh 8,000–20,000 depending on distance) is included in the written quotation. Product supply for remote installation projects is also available nationwide.
