No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
I have a couple of complexes with Franklin Design masking motors and they suck!!! The damned circuit boards in them have a ridiculous force-delay timer built into them, which gets in the way of operation.
That isn't the worst part though. After some time goes by, the godamned things start randomly closing and opening on their own, right in the middle of the movie!
We have had so many problems with them when the third location's motors were delivered and installed and they started spazzing out, we forced the front end company to remove them and replace them with MDI motors, at their expense.
I am STILL dealing with problems at the two complexes of Franklin shit motors every week.
Franklin motors would get a solid F rating if I was to review them. Stay away from them at all costs. If you want a good reliable motor, buy an MDI.
