BFT Gate Repair in McKinney, TX

Common problems with BFT swing and slide gate operators

• Stops, reverses or sounds an alarm

  Modern operators stop and reverse when they sense an obstruction, and some lock out after repeated obstructions until they are reset. The real cause is often a binding hinge, a worn roller or a sensor out of line.

• Opens but will not close

  A blocked, dirty or misaligned photo eye is the usual cause. The operator is refusing to close because it thinks something is in the way.

• Dead after a storm

  Lightning surges can damage the control board, the receiver and the safety devices together. Replacing only the board can leave a second damaged part behind.

• Remotes stopped working

  If the keypad works but the remotes do not, the operator is usually fine. The remotes may need new batteries or reprogramming to the receiver.

What to tell us when you call

Find the label on the operator, usually inside the cover or on the side of the housing, and read us the brand, model and serial number. Then tell us:

• Whether it is a swing or sliding gate
• Any beeping, flashing lights or error display on the operator
• Whether it fails every time or only now and then
