Wealthy homeowners in Lagos are increasingly investing in automated goals, with the prices for tailor -made luxury designs up to 10 million N.
Once regarded as just functional security features, the gates have become status symbols – reflective class, security and personal taste.
Rising material costs and the growing appetite for convenience, remote access and modern aesthetics have further caused demand to record the level.
Accordingly Chinedu Artcor Artcor Fabrication Fabrication Limited, who spoke to Nairametry, has postponed the demand from wealthy homeowners in recent years from simple glide or swing gates to advanced automated systems with intelligent functions.
“High-end customers now request customer-specific designs, premium materials such as stainless steel and hardwood as well as automation systems with biometric or smartphone controls.” He explained.
He added that the costs vary greatly: a small pedestrian goal is between 155,000 and 500,000 N, while a standard single-car gate is sold for between 500,000 and 1.5 million N.
For larger properties, a standard double car goal costs between 1 and 3 million N, while luxury automated goals with intelligent controls and tailor-made designs cost between 2 million n and 10 million n or more.
The prices have increased steadily in recent years due to the increasing costs for steel, aluminum and qualified workers, whereby the automation functions also contribute significantly to the overall bill.

loserA real estate manager and a building contractor who also spoke to Nairametry said that the gate of a house was just as important as the building itself because it sets the tone for the perception of the property.
“It shows how safe the house is, and at the same time it speaks for finishing and class. The tenants look at the quality of the gate, even up to the locks and keys, since these details show them the quality of the entire house.He said.
Tosin explained that Gates are now seen as aesthetic characteristics that influence satisfaction and even rental decisions.
“Some people change their goals, not because they are bad, but because they have become old -fashioned.He added.
Even outside of luxury goods and high-end houses, the gates still have considerable prices on the market. A basic single car or a pedestrian goal can cost several hundred thousands of Naira, which often stretch the family budget during the construction.
Standard double car gates are usually between 1 million n and 3 million n, a price that still reflects the effects of material costs and design decisions.
A broker who spoke to Nairametrics also found that Rolling gates with tires that are increasingly popular for their modern appearance and user -friendliness also come to a bonus, although they cannot be adapted to any property due to space restrictions.
Experts agree with these shifts that the Gate selection in Lagos now influences more than just starting and exit. Automated and well -designed goals improve the security of property, increase the complaint and in some cases the resale value. For wealthy homeowners, the investment in these goals has become part of the lifestyle declaration that make their houses – security, status and style alike.
