Simply so, how do you manually override an electric gate?

Beside above, can electric gates be forced open?
With electric gates, you push a button and they open. You drive in and they close behind you. And that's the main benefit – they are closed when you want them to be closed.
An electric gate opener makes the gate open and close when receiving an electric impulse created by a remote control, a keypad or a sensor device that is mounted in the driveway. The operator opens the gate by swinging it inwards and keep it open for sometime to allow traffic.
