BFT supplier, installation & repair in Abu Dhabi

A gate that stops and reverses is usually reacting to something it senses as an obstruction. Common causes are a rack that has shifted or collected sand, a wheel or track that has started to bind, a photocell that is partly blocked, or an encoder that has lost its position. Dirty tracks are very common in Abu Dhabi.

A technician will move the gate by hand first to feel for resistance, then test the sensors and the obstruction setting on the board. It is better not to keep pressing the remote, as repeated strain can overheat the motor.

It depends on the damage. A board with a blown fuse, a failed relay or a loose connector can often be repaired. A board with burnt tracks, water damage or a surge-damaged processor is usually better replaced. Before deciding we measure the supply, check the inputs from photocells and edges, and make sure the fault is not in the motor or wiring.

We do not promise spare part availability for every model, so we confirm what is obtainable for your operator during the site visit.

Start with the remote battery and whether the gate responds to a wall button or keypad. If it does, the gate is fine and the issue is the radio side. A power surge can upset the receiver or clear its memory, so remotes may need to be stored again. If nothing works at all, check the mains supply and the fuse at the control board.

Our technicians test the receiver, the antenna and the stored remotes, and can add spare remotes at the same visit.

We check the mechanical side first: hinges or wheels, rack and pinion wear, bolts, stops and the manual release. Then the electrical side: control board, limit switches or encoder, supply, battery if fitted, photocells and safety edges. We lubricate moving parts, clean sensors and run several full cycles to confirm smooth movement and correct reversing on an obstruction.

You receive a plain list of what we found and what, if anything, needs attention.

Make sure the gate path and track are clear, and note when the fault happens: opening, closing, only in the heat, or only after rain. Have the remotes and any wall keypad to hand. If you know the operator model, a photo of the label on the motor helps us bring the right parts.

Please tell us whether the gate shares a power supply or intercom with other equipment, as that can affect how we test it.

A boom barrier arm that has been hit by a vehicle is usually bent rather than fully broken, and a mild bend in an aluminium or fibreglass arm can sometimes be straightened. A sharp bend, a crack, or damage near the mounting bracket is a safety risk and the arm should be replaced rather than repaired.

We also check the barrier's mechanism and counterweight spring after any impact, since a bent arm can throw off the balance even if the arm itself still looks usable.

Send us a WhatsApp message or use the quote form with your location and the door or gate type. We will then arrange a site visit to measure and advise.

Include the area, such as Al Khalidiyah, Saadiyat Island or Al Reem Island, plus photos and approximate dimensions if you have them. During the visit we check structure, power and access, then follow with a written quotation. You can also call +971 50 494 8667. Browse our gates and automatic doors first.

Yes, we provide annual maintenance contracts in Abu Dhabi for automatic doors, gates, shutters and barriers. Plans cover scheduled inspections, sensor calibration, lubrication and priority breakdown support.

A contract suits shops in Al Khalidiyah and Al Nahyan, apartment buildings in Saadiyat Island and warehouses in the industrial areas, where downtime costs money. Tell us what you have installed and how heavily it is used, and we will propose a plan. See our automatic doors and rolling shutters.
