About BFT

BFT was founded in 1981 in Thiene, Italy, is based in nearby Schio, and has been part of the Somfy group since 2004. Its US arm, BFT Americas, is in Dayton, New Jersey. The range covers electromechanical and hydraulic swing operators, underground operators such as the ELI 250 BT, slide operators, barriers and bollards. BFT's THALIA control board, which lists the ELI 250 BT among its motor types, shows numbered Er codes on a display; the ELI 250 BT manual itself refers to BFT's ARIES control unit.

BFT gate repair FAQs

Is there a BFT gate repair company near me?

Veritas Access Solutions repairs BFT gate operators across Los Angeles, Ventura and Kern counties, from Santa Clarita and the San Fernando Valley to the Westside and Pasadena. Call 661-605-3266, or text a photo of the operator and we call back within 30 minutes during business hours.

Which BFT operators do you work on?

Underground, swing and slide operators, including the ELI 250 BT and ELI BT A underground operators, the PHOBOS, IGEA and VIRGO swing lines, and DEIMOS and ARES slides. If your model is not listed, text a photo of the label and we will tell you whether we can support it.

What do the Er codes on my BFT control board mean?

On a THALIA board the code names the circuit: Er01 to Er08 are failed photocell or safety edge tests, Er2x an encoder error, Er3x a reversal after an obstacle, and Er4x thermal cutout, meaning the operator needs to cool. We read the code before replacing anything.

Can you repair older BFT operators?

Usually, yes. We confirm parts for your exact model before scheduling. If a part is no longer available, we quote a retrofit to a current UL 325 listed operator instead.

Should I repair or replace an old BFT gate operator?

Repair it when the motor and mounting are sound and parts are available. Replace it when the same unit keeps failing, the parts are gone, or the operator no longer suits the site, such as an underground unit in a box that keeps flooding.

What does BFT gate repair cost?

It depends on the fault, the operator type and how easily we can reach it. We diagnose on site and give you the price in writing before any work. The estimate is free.

Do you service BFT operators another company installed?

Yes. Servicing equipment other companies installed is most of our repair work.
