Good morning Buzby, your thread does not suggest wether you are talking about 2 x sliding leafs closing towards each other or wether they are a pair of swing gates, but, you mention the wind being a problem so i guess its the latter.
Can you get any more info. control panel type, motor type etc to help us? the BFT motors are probably SUB's which are hydraulic and hence could be the problem you mention regarding the wind slightly opening one leaf. You can alter certain functions on the motor regarding the bypass valves/torque but this isnt recommended.

My current installation uses two motors, each moving a single large leaf wooden gate (within a metal frame). and I've a few issues, so would be grateful for any advice.
(1) The Mitto 2 fobs appear to be rather cheaply constructed, there are times I've to press all sections of the button just to get the gate to operate (only 1 of the buttons is programmed and may well be wearing out!). Are there any ruggedised versions based on the Mitto 2 I can use instead?
(2) I'm otherwise delighted with the system, however is there a way to have a single button programmed so that just a single leaf can be open/shut, (for pedestrian access) and the second button to activate them both? I noticed in one of the Manuals this is an option on some BFT installations, or even one button per motor...!
(3) Finally because of their size, high winds are a problem and whilst one of the gates remains where the motor places it, the other can actually be opened simply by pressing hard repeatedly on the leaf, to allow the gap to be wide enough to walk through. It cannot be manually pushed back (to close it), and requires a complete open/close sequence to put it back where it should be... but then the wind can steadily push it open again. Is there a setting in the motor that permits this that I can somehow rectify this problem, so that when it closes it actually STAYS shut?
Many thanks!
