Thanks for actually doing something about it! That door does tend to
stick a bit when it's very damp outside. Which it certainly is.

Hia,

Thanks for giving it a fix.

I find it tends to do this when all 3 locks aren't locked on the smaller door (something I find happens alot) will take a look at that when I get in. Maybe a photo instruction set on how to lock the door is in order.

Thanks again

Charles

Hey everybody,
When I entered the space at approximately 1600 today, the doorbolt was binding against the plate slightly, and the red button was not unlocking the door without it being jiggled about a little. I add two washers to each of the support columns behind the bolt's box (except for the top-right, where no more washers would fit). The exterior of the box now binds against the plate - slightly better, but not much. The red button now works reliably, but more force is required to open the door. The door will fall closed naturally.

If anybody wishes to undo my modification, feel free, and also feel free to call me in to remove it (which I will do as soon as I can).
