If you are thinking of automating your gate, the first thing you will want to know is the sliding gate motor price in Pakistan. The honest answer is that there is no single figure that fits every house. Two homes on the same street can get very different quotes because their gates are different weights, their tracks are in different condition, and their owners want different accessories. This guide explains what actually moves the price, so you can read a quote properly and know you are paying for the right thing.
NagTech is an authorised Centurion partner and installs Centurion sliding gate motors for homes, plazas, factories and housing societies from our offices in Lahore, Islamabad and Faisalabad. Every quote we give is written and based on a free site survey, not a guess over the phone.
Why sliding gate motor prices vary so much
A sliding gate motor is not a standalone gadget. It is part of a system: the motor itself, the gear rack fixed along the gate, the track the gate rolls on, the battery that keeps it working, the remotes, and the safety and installation work that ties it all together. The final price depends on all of these, and on the gate you already have.
That is why a “price” you see in a WhatsApp forward or a market shop often turns out to be only the motor box. Once the rack, battery, remotes and fitting are added, the real number can look quite different. A proper quote should list every part, so you can compare like with like.
Gate weight and length
The single biggest factor is your gate’s weight. A heavier gate needs a stronger motor, and stronger motors cost more. This is why we always check the gate before recommending a model.
Typical home gates
Most house gates in Pakistan, including many in DHA, Bahria Town and similar societies, are within the range a home motor can handle comfortably. For these, a lighter-duty motor is usually the sensible and more economical choice.
Heavy, long or high-traffic gates
Factories, warehouses, plazas and society entrances often have long, heavy steel gates that open and close many times a day. These need a heavy-duty motor. Paying for extra capacity here is not a luxury: an undersized motor works too hard, wears out faster and may stop in the middle of a cycle.
Gate length matters too. A longer gate travels further on each cycle and usually means a longer rack, which adds to the material cost.
Centurion models: D5-Evo vs D10
For sliding gates, we mainly install two Centurion models. Choosing the right one is the most important decision in your quote.
| Model | Maximum gate weight | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Centurion D5-Evo | 500 kg | Homes and most residential gates |
| Centurion D10 | 1,000 kg | Heavy gates, factories, societies and high-traffic entrances |
The D10 costs more than the D5-Evo because it is built for heavier gates and more frequent use. If your gate is comfortably within the D5-Evo’s limit, there is no need to pay for a D10. If it is close to the limit, or the gate opens dozens of times a day, the D10 is the safer long-term choice. You can read more about both on our sliding gate motor page.
Centurion motors come with Centurion’s 24-month manufacturer warranty, and they use code-hopping remotes that resist cloning, which matters when the motor is guarding your main entrance.
Battery backup and accessories
In Pakistan, battery backup is not optional. Load shedding can hit at exactly the moment you are coming home late at night, and a gate that will not open is a security problem as well as an inconvenience. Centurion motors run on a backup battery, so the gate keeps working when the power goes. There is also a manual release key for emergencies.
Beyond the battery, a few accessories can change your price:
- Extra remotes for family members, drivers or staff.
- Safety beams that stop the gate closing on a car, child or pet.
- Smartphone control through Centurion’s G-REMOTE app, so you can open the gate from your phone.
- Intercom or access control if you want visitors to call before entry.
Not everyone needs every add-on. A good installer will tell you which ones make sense for your home rather than adding everything to the bill.
Installation work and your existing gate
The condition of your gate and track can change your quote more than people expect.
The track
A sliding gate rolls on a track at the bottom. If the track is straight, level and in good shape, the motor can be fitted directly. If it is bent, uneven or rusted, it may need repair or replacement first, because a motor cannot fix a gate that does not slide smoothly by hand.
The gear rack
The motor moves the gate by turning a gear against a rack fixed along the gate. Most gates that have never been automated need a new rack, and its length depends on how long your gate is.
Wiring and mounting
The motor needs a solid base and a power connection near the gate. If there is no power point close by, cabling adds to the job. Once the track and rack are ready, most sliding gate motors are installed in a day.
How to compare gate motor quotes
When you have more than one quote in hand, check these points before deciding:
- Is the motor model named clearly, and is it genuine Centurion?
- Is the motor rated for your gate’s weight, with some room to spare?
- Are the battery, rack and remotes included, or listed separately?
- Is any track repair mentioned, or has nobody actually looked at your gate?
- What warranty is offered, and who handles it if something goes wrong?
A very low quote that leaves out the battery or rack, or uses an unnamed motor, often ends up costing more once the missing parts are added.
Get an exact quote for your gate
The quickest way to know your real price is a free site survey. A NagTech technician checks your gate’s weight and length, the track, the power supply and how often the gate is used, then gives you a written quote with the motor model named and every part listed. No guesswork and no surprises later.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of a sliding gate motor in Pakistan?
It depends on your gate’s weight and length, the Centurion model needed, the condition of your track, and accessories such as extra remotes or safety beams. NagTech gives a written quote after a free site survey so you know the exact figure for your gate.
Which Centurion motor do I need for my house gate?
The Centurion D5-Evo handles sliding gates up to 500 kg and suits most homes. The D10 handles gates up to 1,000 kg and is meant for heavy or high-traffic gates.
Will an automatic sliding gate work during load shedding?
Yes. Centurion motors run on a backup battery, so the gate keeps working when the electricity goes, and a manual release key is there for emergencies.
Can my existing sliding gate be automated?
Usually yes, as long as it slides freely by hand. Some gates need track repair or a new rack first, which we check during the survey.
How long does installation take?
Once the track and rack are ready, most sliding gate motors are installed in a day.
Do gate motors come with a warranty?
Centurion gate motors carry Centurion’s 24-month manufacturer warranty. We explain the full warranty terms in your written quote.
