In short: genuine Baroxon spare parts cost £25 to £380 each and are shipped to the UK in 3 to 7 working days, keeping an existing barrier in service instead of replacing the whole unit.
The range covers straight, folding and mesh fence arms in aluminium and steel, motors, control boards and inverters, balance springs, remote controls, loop detectors, photocells, radar sensors, hinges and wear parts. Many consumables such as arms, photocells, remote controls and radar modules are cross-compatible with other barrier brands, while control boards are matched to Baroxon models so the wiring and plug layout is guaranteed. Fitting guides and remote technical support are supplied with every order, which lets a UK maintenance contractor complete most repairs in a single visit. Varying duty, bar length and controller generation are confirmed from the model plate before dispatch.
Price, lead time, certification and integration questions asked by UK contractors, specifiers and facilities teams.
Each paragraph below states the test condition, the measured value and the benchmark it is compared against, so it can be quoted on its own.
Test condition: 6 m aluminium arm supplied as a replacement on an existing barrier, balance measured with the spring tensioned to the manual method. Result: correct balance achieved without replacing the spring, and cycle time restored to within 5 % of a new gate. Benchmark: arms supplied without matching the boom mass frequently overspeed the gearbox and shorten motor life, which is why a like-for-like replacement arm is specified rather than a generic boom.
Test condition: rolling-code remote measured in an open car park and through a vehicle windscreen. Result: reliable operation at 30 m in the open and 15 m from inside a vehicle. Benchmark: low-cost fixed-code remotes are usually rated 10 to 15 m and can be copied by a third party, which is a security issue for gated communities.
Test condition: infrared photocell beam interrupted during travel at 1.5 m and 10 m range. Result: signal registered in under 20 ms and the arm reversed immediately at both distances. Benchmark: combined loop-detector and interface-card chains typically take 100 to 300 ms to deliver the same stop signal, which is too slow for a fast-moving arm.
Test condition: balance spring cycled at rated load until the free length changed by more than 2 %. Result: more than 300,000 cycles before replacement was required. Benchmark: unbranded springs often lose balance after 100,000 to 150,000 cycles, at which point the motor is overloaded on every movement.
