Hey, we admit it, worked when bought our lot and we consider ourselves educated folks....but, the rep kept rolling down the windows, sticking the little card across the (magnetic ?) plate, didn't find out until we'd spent $100 (or maybe more ?) for the stupid cards we never needed and seldom use... so yep, be blunt.... LOL ! Not sure the gates are "safe" either, but I am sure some do. Seems they often make a bad problem even worse, but it's debatable, yes. One thing for sure, they must be a terrible EXPENSE, I don't think there is ever a day in The V's when people are no working on these gates. Wonder just how much money is wasted each year to repair these things ? But, it's only money as they say.
