The task was to secure the gate. When all else fails, just use a plastic cable tie. They work great. Send SOFI some photos of some of your competitor’s work!

Wish I took the photo, but to just keep a gate shut (as it was warped just enough to be unable to stay on its own), someone tied a USB cable around it.
I found a gate to a pool area — a critical hazard if not padlocked — and it was secured with a dog collar. No, I’m not joking.
