Question
How do I stop a swing gate in Al Nakheel from drifting open in the wind?
A swing gate drifts when the latch does not hold, the hinges are loose or the motor lock is weak. Wind pushes a solid leaf hard, so check the electric lock, the arm brackets and the stops. A gate that needs a push to latch is already close to failing.
Tighten bolts, grease hinges and set the closing force so the gate seats firmly. Add a lock or a stronger latch on windy sites. A wind-rated motor with a mechanical brake keeps the leaf in place when power is off.
