Power cuts and battery back-up
Rural lines can mean the occasional power cut, and a gate without power won't open. A back-up battery on the control board keeps most gates working for a number of cycles, and every household member should know where the manual release key is.
Field gates and heavy clay
Automated field gates and yard gates are common on farms and equestrian properties. The Weald clay here swells and shrinks with the seasons, which can move gate posts and throw gates out of line. If your gates no longer meet or lock properly, the posts and hinges are worth checking before the motors.

Lingfield: questions
Can my gate work in a power cut?
Yes, with a back-up battery fitted to the control board. Most modern boards accept one, and an engineer can add it to an existing system.
