Our house had an electric swing gate when we bought it. The existing unit wasn't working well, so I replaced it with a cheap swing-arm system from Amazon. Turns out that our gate is *ever so slightly* out of balance, and the unit I bought is a whiny little girl and doesn't want to deal with a bit of imbalance.
Problem solved, pull the pin, use a brick to hold the gate open and closed each morning and evening.
Yes, I'm aware that a brick pinning the gate closed at night is not actual security, but from the street it *LOOKS* like the gate is closed, and that, 99.9% of the time is actual security.
