VDS Automazioni is an Italian company based in Abruzzo, near Pescara, that makes motors for gates, barriers, automatic doors, overhead and sectional doors, garage doors and shutters. Qasar Al Neil Automatic Doors installs, repairs and maintains VDS gate systems in Ajman.
Most VDS jobs involve sliding or swing gate operators on villa and compound entrances. We hear about gates that open only part way, operators that stop on a false obstruction, remotes that need several presses, and motors that run without moving the gate.
The control board manages movement, safety and radio. We test the supply, fuses, sensor inputs and motor outputs, and clean and align photocells. In summer heat boards in sealed boxes can fail, and sand and insects find their way inside. Our control panels and photocell safety sensors pages describe these checks.
Check the basics before calling: confirm the gate has mains power, that the manual release is locked, and that nothing sits in the photocell beam. These three account for a large share of the VDS callouts we attend, and noting which you tried helps the technician arrive prepared.
A remote that needs several presses is usually low on battery or out of range of a weak receiver. We replace the battery, check the receiver and antenna, and store extra remotes where the receiver allows. Read more under remote controls and receivers.
A new VDS installation begins with measuring the gate, weight, track and posts. A service visit covers lubrication, rack and pinion, wheels or hinges, release, limit settings, safety devices and an obstruction test.
We work with VDS operators on:
Other pages worth reading are gate motors and gates. We also service CAME and Roger Technology operators. Book a free site visit and we will inspect the gate and the operator with you.
Before a visit, collect a few facts about the VDS equipment. They let the technician bring the right tools and likely parts, and they shorten the time on site. The table lists what helps most.
| Item | What to note | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Gate type | Sliding, swing or barrier arm | The operator, rack or arm depends on it |
| Leaf weight and length | Approximate figures or photos | Sets the motor size and the load on the gearbox |
| Control and safety | Control board, photocells, remote | Most callouts trace to these parts |
| Supply and cable run | Mains point, earthing, cable route | Poor supply causes board faults |
Gate operators in the UAE live with 45 to 50 C heat, sand in the rack and rails, humidity near the coast and supply dips. Heat shortens the life of capacitors and control boards. Sand wears pinions and wheels. Damp gets into junction boxes and photocell housings. A cleaned rack, a sealed box and a stable supply prevent many repeat faults.
We check whether a part for your VDS unit can be sourced before quoting. Where the original part is no longer available, we say so and suggest a compatible replacement, and we do not promise a part until we have seen the unit. Photos of the label and the fault help, and you can send them through send a photo.

View detailsQNAD supplies sliding, swing, underground and ram gate motors and fits them in Ajman, Sharjah and Dubai. We choose the motor from the gate type, leaf weight and length, how often the gate is used and the power available, then quote it in writing after a free site visit.
We also replace failed motors, control boards and receivers on gates that are already installed. Motors from Beninca, BFT, CAME, FAAC, Nice, Roger Technology, VDS and Somfy can be fitted. See gate motor supply.
Either the operator thinks the gate has reached its end, or something is stopping it before then. Limit or travel settings can be reset by a power cut or an adjustment. Friction from a dirty track, a stiff wheel, a dropped hinge or an object in the path can also cause the board to stop the motor.
We move the gate by hand to feel for resistance, then check the settings and sensors. Cleaning the track is worth doing first, and often helps.
If you can hear the motor, the drive between motor and gate is not connecting. The manual release may have been left unlocked, the pinion may have stripped teeth, or the gearbox may have failed. On a swing gate an arm joint could have come loose.
Check that the release is fully locked and nothing blocks the gate. If it still does not move, a technician will inspect the drive parts and tell you what needs replacing.
Yes. Control boxes in direct sun can reach high temperatures, and electronics are more likely to fail, reset or behave erratically in that heat. Dust, moisture and insects add to the problem. Signs include a gate that works in the morning but not in the afternoon, or random stops.
We check the board, supply and ventilation and can advise on shading the box or improving its seal. A damaged board is replaced only after other causes are ruled out.
Parking locks are separate devices from gate operators, so they do not depend on the gate brand. At a building with a VDS gate, they can be fitted at individual bays to reserve space for residents. We survey the bays, the floor and the power or battery arrangements, and test each lock after fitting.
Our parking locks page gives more detail.
We start with the gate itself: wheels or hinges, rail, rack, pinion and fixings. Then the operator: gearbox, release, motor, limit settings and supply. Finally the safety devices: photocells, edges and the reversing response. Moving parts are lubricated and the track cleaned, and we run several cycles to confirm everything works together.
A short written list of findings follows, so you know what to monitor.
