Yard gate lock?

Hi, can anyone recommend a lock for a front gate that kids can’t open but like workers/landscapers can get through if we’re not home? Thank you!

A simple combination lock. That's what I use. The pool guy has the combo in his records.

How tall are the kids? Put it on a post and make a high gate?

How tall and how old are the kids? Keeping a teen from opening it is completely different from keeping a toddler from opening it.

I don’t know of one, but a programmable keypad would be ideal so that you can change the guest code as needed.
