How Much Do Automatic Doors Cost in Sharjah? (Real 2026 Prices)

Short answer: A standard Italian-brand sliding gate motor (600kg capacity — Nice Robus, Life Acer, Beninca Bull 6m, BFT Deimos, or Somfy Elexio 500) costs 1,699 AED installed in Sharjah, Dubai, and Ajman, when the site is ready and no extra civil work is needed. Add 200 AED for GSM/WiFi app control, and 250–300 AED if piping, trunking, and concrete work still need to be done.

That's it. That's the number nobody else ranking for this keyword will actually give you. Here's the full breakdown, and why the "starting from" price you'll see everywhere else is only half the story.

The base price: 1,699 AED

This covers a 600kg-capacity motor plus installation, for gates in the 4-5m x 2.5m range with cast aluminium leaves — the most common residential and light-commercial gate size in Sharjah. At this price point, all the major Italian brands sit in the same range:

• Nice Robus
• Life Acer
• Beninca Bull 6m
• BFT Deimos
• Somfy Elexio 500

If someone quotes you far below 1,699 for one of these brands on a comparable gate, ask what's being cut — usually it's wiring quality, not the motor itself.

What's NOT included

GSM/WiFi remote control (+200 AED). This is the app-based or call-to-open system. Most customers want it, almost nobody includes it in the "starting from" price you see advertised — which is why the number you're quoted online and the number you actually pay rarely match.

Civil work (+250–300 AED), if your site isn't ready. "Site ready" means: concrete base for the motor already poured, piping in place for sensors, flasher, and push button. A lot of sites aren't ready — no concrete base, no pipe runs. When that's the case, we handle it for 250–300 AED, which covers piping the sensor/flasher/button lines under the door and covering with concrete, wall trunking where needed, and bringing the electrical connection to the motor. No charges beyond that. Some customers instead have their main contractor or electrician handle this part separately — that's a legitimate option if you already have one on site.

So a realistic full-install number, site-not-ready, with app control: around 2,150–2,200 AED for a standard 600kg gate. That's the number the "starting from 1,699" ads don't want to lead with.

The mistake that costs more than the motor

The single most common way people overspend on automatic doors in Sharjah isn't overpaying upfront — it's underpaying upfront.

We regularly get called to gates where the customer installed a motor rated below the gate's actual weight, or had it installed cheap with low-quality wiring. In Sharjah's heat, that wiring degrades faster than people expect. It shorts, and the short frequently burns the motor's mainboard. At that point you're not repairing anything — you're buying a full replacement motor. The 100–200 AED saved on a cheaper install turns into the full cost of a new unit within a year, sometimes less.

Compare that to correctly sized motors with quality wiring and accessories: we've pulled out and replaced Beninca units after 10 to 12 years of continuous use — same model, just end-of-life, not failure. That's the real cost comparison: 1,699 AED once every decade-plus, versus a "budget" install that needs redoing annually.

Rule of thumb on sizing: a 600kg motor is right for gates up to roughly 4-5m wide x 2.5m high in cast aluminium. Heavier or larger gates need to size up — if you're not sure, a photo of the gate is usually enough for someone experienced to tell you if 600kg will hold up or not.

An opinion most installers won't tell you: BFT isn't what it used to be

BFT used to be considered a top-tier brand, on par with Beninca and Nice, built to run for years with minimal issues. That's changed.

BFT motors sold in the UAE market now come from UAE-based assembly rather than direct assembly in Italy, and the performance isn't at the level it used to be. If you're choosing between brands purely on reputation, that reputation is outdated for BFT specifically.

For long-term reliability right now, Life Home Automation performs best, alongside the long-standing reliability of Beninca and Nice. This isn't the popular answer — most price comparisons online just list BFT alongside the others without flagging this — but if you want a motor still working in 10+ years, sourcing and assembly matter as much as the brand name.

Quick reference

Item	Cost (AED)
600kg motor + installation (site ready)	1,699
+ GSM/WiFi app control	+200
+ Civil work (piping, concrete, trunking, power run)	+250–300
Typical full install, site not ready, with app control	~2,150–2,200

No hidden charges beyond these. If a quote comes in well under 1,699 for a comparable brand and gate size, that's worth asking hard questions about 

— the wiring and mainboard are usually where the cost gets cut, and that's exactly what fails first in Sharjah's climate.
