So all it takes to open this model of gate is someone to know to pry off that plastic motor cover thats only held on with 2 little screws, and short two pins of the connector right there on top which looks to be reachable through the bars of the gate from the other side.
I feel I'd want the motor controls in a more secured box if I was the type of person who needed one of these gates.
- p51-remorse 2y agoThe gates exist to keep out people who don’t know how to do that. The people with that level of skill+motivation are _going_ to get in, and shorting some contacts is probably a less destructive way for them to do it.

- infecto 2y agoAnd your front door lock is easy to pick, so what? These gates are like having a garage door, they are not meant to be ultra high security. Most of the models I know of in the US use a key and lock to open the box but again, not really meant to be high security.
