That would mean splashing the cash!

Could you not just barge through the lock?

Would that be central locking and does it work with a key and not the fob?

I think that the gates are not actually failing tomclose but they have in fact just opened earlier than designed. Just replace with a new inline gate only a 10 minute mod...
