When you squeeze the button, is the solenoid working? Can you hear it? If you can't, then it's possible it's the button/switch, if you can and the gate isn't unlocking, then it's the lock

Can't hear anything when I squeeze the button, so probably switch then?

Defo electrical, start at the switch if the re-set doesn't work. Battery disconnect for at least 30mins

Most likely the micro switch a member at the nano had this trouble swapped over micro switch and all was fine.
