I made some wooden gates, then bought a 'bargain' kit of dust collection bits, plastic blast gates included. I have used a couple and find the problem with them is dust collecting in the blind corners, this stops the gate sliding completely shut. Its a slow process so I didn't notice until the dust was well compacted. There is a way to fix it, just drill a small hole in each of the blind corners to allow the dust to get out, helped with a bit of bent wire if any build up starts to occur.
