My guess is you have only lived here for a few years….yes gates malfunction, from constant use..with bolts that are made to break.
At 3am when the gate fell, community watch was exiting his vehicle to remove the gate, because it was reported as malfunctioning. I was exiting at the same time. The gate fell, all by itself. By the way if you have to move the gate it’s not as light as one would think.
I asked if the gate fell on my vehicle, what would happen, his reply “I know it has happened, but am unaware of the outcome” Very scripted and text book answer. Trust me if the gate malfunctioned, fell on you, you would make the call, the cameras are available to provide information.
But you seem to question my account experience. One should be aware that if a gate seems to rise oddly, the bolts may be at their end life. Call community watch, a vehicle will be at that gate within minutes.
