Professional BFT Gate Motor Repairs in Sydney
BFT (Bonollo Francesco Thiene) is an Italian automation company founded in 1981 in Thiene, in the province of Vicenza. Today, BFT is part of the Somfy group (since 2004) and distributes its access systems across more than 120 countries via over 530 authorised distributors.
Over the past four decades, BFT has built a strong reputation for innovation in residential, commercial, and urban access solutions. Their product range includes sliding gate motors (e.g. the DEIMOS line), swing gate motors (e.g. PHOBOS series), barrier arms, access control boards, and accessory modules.
What sets BFT apart is their focus on smart control and force regulation — for example their D-Track system constantly adjusts motor torque based on slight changes in load (due to temperature, wind, or wear) to maintain smooth and safe gate operation. Their sliding gate models can handle very heavy loads (up to 3,500 kg in industrial designs) and their swing motor lines cover door leaves of up to 500 kg or 5 m in length.
Of course, no system is perfect. Because BFT aims for advanced features and modular electronics, some downsides include parts availability (especially for older or niche modules), sometimes steeper repair cost when control boards are damaged, and the need for precise tuning or calibration for optimal performance.
Still, many Australian installers and owners trust BFT systems because they balance strength, intelligence, and longevity, especially when serviced properly

Automatic Gate Service Fees
How much does an automatic gate service cost?
No repair is the same, while we do se common faults with some gate automation manufacturers, the type of motor, additional accessories installed, the type and size of the gate, service history and any damage done all play a part in how much a repair will cost.
Unfortunately due to this we are unable to quote for repairs, as we never know exactly what is wrong with the system until we pull it apart and start doing the work, as such, we operate on a do and charge basis for repairs.
Our fees are as follows:
- Call out fee $180 plus GST, this includes the first 30 mins of labour and any small parts required, fuses, nuts, bolts, screws and lubricants (with the exception of hydraulic fluid)
- Labour above the call out fee allocation is billed at $30 plus GST per 15 minute block.
- Any additional parts are charged as required.
- If you have a non standard system and we need to order parts in, we do charge for travel time to return to your property from our previous job site.
- Our Service Call Fees are due and payable in full upon completion of works.
In order to avoid extra travel time charges and wait time for ordering specialised parts, it is best to provide us with as much information as you can about your automation system, including the brand and model type, an in depth description of the issues you are having with it and if possible, pictures of the system, any visible broken parts and accessories like remote controls, intercoms, keypads, safety beams, etc..
This will help our skilled technician to diagnose any faults ahead of time and plan for parts before our first visit, saving you time and money!
