BFT is a full-access automation specialist, delivering secure, innovative solutions for gates, garage doors, barriers and bollards across residential, commercial and urban environments.

Founded in Italy’s industrial heartland in 1981, BFT products are engineered to make access easier, safer and faster for installers and end users alike.

Since becoming part of the Somfy Group in 2004, BFT has combined family-business craftsmanship with the backing of a multinational leader in home and building automation.

From single residential driveways to large-scale commercial and industrial developments, BFT’s product range covers every type of access point, offering full flexibility for new-build and retrofit projects.

Sliding & Swing Gate Automation

BFT’s electromechanical and hydraulic operators automate sliding and swing gates for both residential and industrial applications, handling gate weights of up to 2,000kg. Features like D-Track torque management technology and encoder-based positioning deliver smooth, precise movement even in high-cycle environments.

Garage Door Automation

BFT’s garage door operators are built for safety, security and compact installation. Quick and simple to install, the motors can be installed in any architectural environment, offering optimal reliability and theft prevention.

Barriers, Bollards & Parking Management

For traffic control and site security, BFT offers road barriers, fixed and retractable anti-terrorism bollards and full parking management systems, extending automation beyond the gate to manage vehicle access and public safety across entire sites.

Smart Connectivity

With the B-EBA Wi-Fi plug & play connectivity modules, BFT solutions are quick and easy to connect to Somfy’s TaHoma smart home app, allowing gates, garage doors and other connected devices to be centrally managed from a single app alongside blinds, lighting and other third-party home automation solutions.
