<div style>There must be more sturdy buzzer-locks available on the market that can take more force (a locksmith might know what to do when we mention that this gate is 'in the Mission' :) ).</div><div style>Or we actually need to hack the gate to have multiple lock-points, not only in the midde ?

The easiest thing would be to just swap out a new buzzer, and just<br>
accept that as the cost of securing the place. But, I think we could<br>
reduce the strain on it with something else to keep the gate firmly in<br>
place, so it's not always hitting hard on the buzzer plate.<br>
