Your neighbor has assumed it's OK to waltz right in so you should let him know. I would graciously tell him the gate is locked and that he is welcome to check his house but now will need to contact you first. No need to escalate the situation, just explain and offer access with permission.

(I have been around TOTV way too long and seem to remember old topics sometimes. Wasn't there a discussion a few years ago about courtyard gates being tried by an unknown person who might have been looking for a spot to break in, unseen?)
Yup, I would do the same thing. That would put a Stop too the Improper Neighbor Etiquette. I have a extra Lock if ya need it..
