We all have to deal with locked gates.
What do you find best to carry on board to get over them or undo bolts?

jump!

[billozz]

always try to undo the bolts if we can, that way you only have to get the steps out of the side door rather than un clamp ladders etc, bit tricky with a bottom bolt, we sometimes use an unger pole that we dont clean windows with anymore we can usually bash the bolt over with that

[visiontechnician]

Bolt cutters, wire snips, chainsaw and a needle.

Should just about get you through anything without the need to use your ladders and nearly break your back

[Captain Scarlet]

I use an old universsal 25ft to pole vault! Luke

We use various things - a sturdy bucket upide down,short pointer, longer pointer.
Someone out there must have something better.

I have one of those things they use in supermarkets for stacking higher shelves.  I don't know what they're called but they are circular on top and have wheels on so you can push it along.  When you stand on it the whole thing drops and the wheels disengage.  That lets me reach most gate bolts.  If I'm unable to reach a bolt with it, I get my stepladder out.  If that doesn't work, they can get another window cleaner.

Get a broom stick and duck tape a small claw hammer to it, when u need to push open a bottom bolton on a gate it worrks a treat , you can use the claw side to push the bolt holder bit into place , then with the hammer end nock it open , and after a while of doing it you will learn how to lock them after

Get a brook stick and duck tape a small claw hammerto it, when u needto push open a bottom bolton a gate it word a treat , you can use the claw side to push the bold holder bit into place , then with the hammer end nock it open , and after a while of doing it you will learn how to lock them after 

I carry a claw hammer for that very purpose too 
I don't put it on a broomstick though.  If I had a broomstick I would fly over the gate anyway.

Phone them the night before, or I have the combination number or keys.

Used to use my small pointer, but don't carry it any more.
