How hard is it to push the gate without an electric lock?
The electric lock is an option to secure the gate in the open or closed position. It works automatically with your transmitter. It is not required because the operator will hold the gate firmly shut. Someone could force the gate open, if they push hard enough. A car could push it open easily, breaking the operator arm and/or mounting hardware. It’s not likely a child could force the gate open and squeeze through. If that is critical, get the lock. We have never heard of a dog escaping, but some are very smart.
