I just wouldn't bother with a roll at this point, you know your table and go "rogue, this lock is child's play. Tell us how awesome you are and make a fool of this lock."Coming up with a different, potentially clever, way around the gate does add something to the game, as the post above me just gave some suggestions on. It doesn't even have to be common dungeon dilemmas --- if your players are as gonzo as mine often are, they'll either go "hell with it, straight to the Choco-Demon it is!" or concoct some cockamamie scheme where they come up with a metal to spaghetti ritual and everyone laughs at how this is a very serious game while discussing the party's upcoming dinner. YMMV on the silliness but you get the point.</blockquote>
