    Motorised Entry

    Pedestrian Access Gates

    Motorised pedestrian gates provide automated, controlled entry for walkways in office buildings, residential estates, and commercial properties. These gates combine the security of a physical barrier with the convenience of remote or credential-based operation.

    Technical Overview

    How Motorised Pedestrian Gates Work

    Motorised pedestrian gates use compact swing or sliding motor units specifically designed for lightweight pedestrian-scale gates and doors. A DC motor drives the gate leaf through an arm or linear actuator mechanism, opening and closing the gate automatically upon receiving a trigger signal.

    Access triggers include proximity card readers, biometric scanners, video intercom call buttons, remote controls, and push-to-exit buttons. The control board manages the opening sequence, hold-open timer, and closing cycle. Safety sensors detect obstacles in the gate's path and reverse direction to prevent injury.

    These systems are commonly installed at pedestrian entrances alongside vehicle gates, providing a dedicated secure walkway for foot traffic. They integrate with the same access control infrastructure as vehicle gates, allowing a single credential to operate both pedestrian and vehicle barriers.

    Weather-resistant designs with IP65-rated components ensure reliable operation in Kenya's varied climate conditions, from coastal humidity to highland dust and rain.

    Key Features

    System Capabilities

    Compact Motors

    Purpose-built DC motors for pedestrian gates. Low power consumption with quiet operation suitable for residential environments.

    Multi-Credential Access

    Support for access cards, biometrics, intercoms, remotes, and push-to-exit buttons on a single gate.

    Safety Sensors

    Infrared obstacle detection prevents gate closure on people or objects. Auto-reverse with configurable force sensitivity.

    Weather Resistance

    IP65-rated motors and control boards designed for outdoor installation in all weather conditions.

    Auto-Close Timer

    Configurable hold-open duration and automatic closing ensures the gate is never left open unintentionally.

    Unified Access Control

    Integrates with the same access control system as vehicle gates for single-credential operation across all entry points.
