Firstly, EM lock is still vulnerable to attempt break in. Nothing is safe! Solenoid has a certain length whereby a "crowbar" can easily jack it and detach the solenoid away from the bracket.

Secondly, every auto-gate system comes with locking mechanism which had led to removal of EM lock usage since it can be prone to wear and tear due to water and rust.

Autogate is just merely a convenient of entering the house without getting out from the car. Safety is close to zero. Thief can always climb in.

These video is just to tarnish the usage of auto-gate.

Where your video?

But EM lock is still better than solenoid. Yes, solenoid can easy push out, my autogate installer told me too.

There are weather proof EM lock.

EM lock and solenoid lock is different. EM lock require constant 12v or 24v to power it... once i cut the cable, there goes the lock.

Solenoid is still better option yet is still not safe.

Weather proof lock is good, is the internal solenoid coil that wears out.

Everything is possible, hence a good installer is a must using GI Flexi is always better, with EM lock is still better than nothing. Of course if want full safety on gate just put a pad lock.

using pad lock just renderer the auto-gate useless.

Always be caution at all time when entering your house is the best bet.

There is no best of both world. is take and give.

Staying is an G&G housing area help is reducing the risks...

How many Malaysian can afford the maintain-ace fees?

Ai ya just accept the fact that there is no 100% solution.
If the other guy wanna kena you, there is always a way.

Stay in the car until gate fully close. If someone force open the gate while it still closing. REVERSE the car bang that A-z-z-Hole

sliding auto gate better abit..for at least...

Sliding gate.. I am using one now at my parent house. Is very slow to open and close. And lift it the gate will be easy open

Aside from the gate in the video not having the locking mechanism, the newer gates are harder to pull and push. In any case auto gates are more of a convenience than a safety feature.

I have a question here... Can ppl hack your auto gate signal?

That means they can control your auto gate also...

Yes is possible if you have the time. Unless use code hopping remote.

Buy one oem remote, inside you have 8 dip switch, each dip switch have 3 level (+, 0, -). So you just sit beside the gate play around the combination. So the odd will be 1:6561 to get it correct.

my opposite neighbour which moved in new house about 2 years and used those under mounted arm mechanism...
i even saw his kid about 3-4 years old able to push and pull the auto gate and swing it without sweat...
