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.

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.

using pad lock just renderer the auto-gate useless.

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