BFT Gate issue
#12
Hi!
I have the same issue in reverse, i.e. the first gate closes well in Summer but does not reach the stop in Winter. The other gate pushes it to the stop.
Reading the above comments, along with my personal experience with BFT, I believe their after sale service is inadequate to say the least.
This being out of my chest I am looking for explanations of the phenomenon. The gates have each an electric motor which are, my understanding, working as a function of time. The setting is the same for both motors. Let's say that one -for mechanical reasons- is slower than the other motor, the attached gate will travel less. Hence the issue.
To cure this problem, I have disassembled the chain which was rusted and the closings and openings are smoother (although there is some grinding noise which scares the hell out of me as the price of the whole mechanism is pretty expensive). But the issue remains.
Now, what about the oil mentioned previously. Has anybody an idea about its function?

Happy new year to all!Smile
