I can back him up on this bug overriding the lock. Tried it myself with vikkstorm and the locks don't work correctly. Might want to switch from a gate to a door to protect your horses until this glitch is resolved. Also I wouldn't leave a gate to protect my private locations from intruders. They can just open it like you never locked the entrance in the first place.

 

you can turn redstone on and off with /credstone <on/off> and then clicking on the fence gate

 

Why does it seem like doors are set to redstone off while gates are default redstone on? Wouldn't it be better to default it off so that builders and others unaware don't have useless locks while they are learning the wealth of commands ecc has?

 

That does seem like a better default. Not sure why it's the way it is now

 

Ive tried do /credstone <on/off> and it still seems to allow me to open the gate with a pressure plate

 

The problem is that when you place a pressure plate next to a locked door, the pressure plate is automatically also locked by you, regardless of the door having redstone on/off. However, when you place a pressure plate next to a fence gate, it does not lock, and you cannot lock it through regular means. I will see if we can get one of the devs to fix this.

 

I can't seem to recreate this. Please post a new bug report with the steps to do it.
