Why are automatic gates planned differently in Kyrenia?
Kyrenia is a hillside town stretching between the Five Finger (Beşparmak) Mountains on one side and the sea on the other. This geography directly affects the choice of automatic gate:
- Salt and humidity: In homes close to the sea, the risk of corrosion on motor housings, tracks and hinges is high. We prefer rust-resistant components and protected control boxes.
- Sloping plots: Driveways to hillside villas are often sloped, which determines whether a sliding or swing gate is the right choice.
- Wind: Winds coming down from the mountains and in from the sea put strain on wide gate leaves, so motors and locks are chosen accordingly.
Villas and residential complexes
In the villa and complex areas stretching from east to west of Kyrenia, our most requested services are automatic garden gate and automatic garage door installation. For complex management, we install barrier and number plate recognition systems at shared entrances to separate residents' and visitors' access. In holiday homes that stand empty for part of the year, phone-controlled gates and motorised shutter systems make it easier to manage your home remotely.
Many villa owners in Kyrenia spend part of the year abroad. In this case, being able to control gate and shutter systems remotely and give temporary access to people such as gardeners or cleaners is a real convenience. Planning phone control modules at the installation stage is more practical than adding them later.
Hotels, restaurants and tourism businesses
Kyrenia is one of the busiest tourist centres on the island. Hotels use revolving or automatic sliding doors in their lobbies, turnstiles at staff entrances and cold room doors in kitchens and storerooms. Restaurants and cafés around the harbour and along the coast choose guillotine glass systems so they can use their terraces all year round. Planning maintenance before the season is the way to avoid unexpected breakdowns during the busy period.
During the busiest months of the tourist season, a broken entrance door directly affects guest satisfaction. That is why, when working with hotels and restaurants, we agree pre-season inspection visits and a contact channel for fast response in advance.
Kıb-Tek power cuts and battery backup
Power cuts happen in Kyrenia too, especially in the summer months and on stormy winter days. With battery backup systems you can keep opening and closing your gate by remote during an outage. We check the compatibility of the control board during the survey before adding a battery to your existing motor.
Making sure complex entrances do not lock during a power cut is especially important for complex management in Kyrenia. For barriers and gates at shared entrances, we add battery backup and pre-programme which position they should stay in during an outage.
Why is maintenance needed more often in Kyrenia?
Salty sea air wears exposed parts such as motors and tracks faster than in inland areas. That is why we recommend a more regular maintenance schedule to our customers in Kyrenia. Maintenance includes cleaning tracks and hinges, checking for corrosion, and testing photocells and control boards. Systems we install come with a 3-year warranty; if periodic maintenance is carried out without interruption, the warranty can be extended to up to 5 years. For details, see our maintenance and repair service page.
During maintenance visits we clean salt deposits that build up on motor housings and under tracks, and spot rust starting at screws and joints early. When small signs of corrosion are dealt with in time, they can be fixed before they turn into major faults that require parts to be replaced.
