I'm being condescending because you offered unsolicited and incorrect advice.

If the gate can flex more than the pivot plate, then a maglock is the least of your problems.

Electric striker plates have moving parts, which require lubrication and maintenance.

Every system has pros and cons. Oh wait, I said that already. Somehow you can't understand that. Pot, kettle, black...

you must be a real joy in person :)
 
@bwana - can finally change the title to stage 1... :p

After 15 hours without power (transformer blew at 10:30PM last night) + 2 hours loadshedding today, we are free tomorrow.

Eskom stage 1 load-shedding for Monday

Eskom has announced it will stop Stage 2 load-shedding at 21:00 on Sunday and implement Stage 1 from 09:00 on Monday.

The power utility said this was because there had been an adequate recovery in emergency reserves.

"While dam levels have recovered adequately enough to allow for a reduction to Stage 1 load-shedding, there is still some work being done to improve diesel stocks," Eskom stated.

He is actually, and very knowledgeable. He wouldn't an arse to a person without good reason.

And FU Eskom, now that I finally don't have an overnight slot you change to stage 1. I bet on Tuesday you'll be changing back to stage 2 so that I can do the midnight run again.
 
How long would the bottom freezer on a A+ energy efficiency fridge keep stuff frozen for without electricity?

No, just enquiring for future reference. Our power always comes back on after 2.5hours, but you never know.
