Gate Remotes

A gate remote control has to match the automation already on the gate — not just look like the handset you lost. Remotes for gates are brand- and receiver-specific. Choosing by colour, case shape or button count alone is a common reason a replacement fails to program.

• Gate automation brand — Stay with the same brand as the operator and receiver. A BFT remote will not run a Centurion system, and the reverse is also true.
• Remote model — Families such as BFT Mitto or Centurion Nova are designed for their own receivers. Not every remote from a brand works with every motor from that brand.
• Receiver / control system — The transmitter has to be accepted by the receiver on the gate or control board. If you still have a working remote, use that model as the reference.
• Coding technology — Rolling-code and code-hopping remotes are not interchangeable with each other or with older fixed-code handsets.
• Frequency — Where a listing states a frequency, it must match the compatible receiver. Do not assume two 433 MHz-class remotes are the same product.

If you need related automation equipment, see sliding gate motors or swing gate motors, or the full shop. After purchase, use our gate remote programming guide for pairing orientation.

Most shoppers here need a replacement gate remote — a lost, damaged or extra transmitter for household members, staff or tenants. A gate remote control replacement still has to be the correct genuine model for the existing receiver. These are not universal remotes, and we do not sell cloning devices.

• Brand — Confirm BFT, Centurion or the brand printed on the operator and the old remote.
• Model — Match the remote family (for example Mitto or Nova) rather than a generic “electric gate remote” description.
• Button configuration — 2-button and 4-button options are not automatically interchangeable even within the same family. Choose the layout that matches how the system is used.
• Coding system — Rolling-code and code-hopping replacements must match the receiver’s coding type.
• Receiver compatibility — Check the product page notes against your operator or receiver. If the original remote is gone, a photo of the control-board label is more useful than guessing from appearance.

Pairing a new remote is done on the existing receiver. We do not publish generic programming steps here because the procedure differs by brand and board. If you need PIN access instead of another handset, see gate keypads.

This collection is for BFT and Centurion gate remotes — the two brands currently listed for automatic gate remote controls. It is not a catalogue of every remote brand on the market.

• BFT remotes — BFT Mitto rolling-code transmitters, including 2-button (Mitto 2B RCB) and 4-button (Mitto 4B RCB) gate remote controls for compatible BFT operators and receivers. A BFT remote control is not a substitute for a Centurion Nova handset.
• Centurion remotes — Centurion Nova code-hopping transmitters, including 2-button and 4-button options for compatible SMART / Nova receivers. A Centurion gate remote will not program to a BFT Mitto receiver.

Compare the exact listing for model notes rather than assuming every BFT remote works with every BFT motor, or every Centurion remote with every Centurion system. Safety sensing at the opening is separate — see photocells and safety beams.

The remotes in this range use changing-code technology rather than a single fixed code. BFT Mitto models are rolling-code remotes. Centurion Nova models are code-hopping remotes. Both are designed so each press sends a new valid code to a compatible receiver.

That is why visually similar transmitters are not interchangeable. A rolling-code BFT remote will not stand in for a code-hopping Centurion remote, and neither should be treated as a universal or cloneable handset. Match the coding family to the receiver listed on the product page.

This collection includes 2-button and 4-button gate remotes in both the BFT Mitto and Centurion Nova families. A 2-button transmitter is the usual spare for a single automatic gate. A 4-button remote may allow extra compatible functions — for example a second channel or pedestrian mode — where the operator and receiver support that setup.

Extra buttons are not a guarantee that each one will control a separate gate or device. What each button does depends on how the system is programmed. Choose the button count that matches the remote you are replacing, unless you know the receiver can use the additional channels.
