Both of the locks are being extremely finicky about locking. They will appear to be locked but come unlocked again if pulled on hard enough. I imagine it has something to do with the cold/moisture. I don't know if some WD40 or other substance would help, or if we should think about replacing them.
i have some WD40 we can spray on them. my lock (identical) has been having the same issues, and i do believe its water and the freeze/thaw cycles we have bene experiencing. since W(ater)D(isplacement)40 displaces, um, water, it should do the trick.
I noticed on Friday that one of the locks does not lock all the way. At the time it was on the Porta Potty door.
It took me 3 tries before I got it to lock properly...
Speaking of the porta potty, has it been turned back around to face the alley so that it's accessible without entering the yard?
I took care of that at the clean up meet up last week.

Some Lock Ease might help... don't have any at the moment though.

...igz...
the door was locked to the bathroom this morning but whoever locked it last didn't randomize the numbers.
The lock to the bathroom was randomized and looked to be locked, but I tugged at it due to this thread and it unlocked pretty easily.
Secondly the little knob on the brew house door latch came unattached. I was able to snap it back into place, but we will need to address this ASAP.
I think I left some JB weld in one of the drawers in the office, mix a bit of that up, pull the post out and shove it in there with the post.
We should look into getting a new lock, or at least swapping the yard one with the bathroom one.
I will be at the brewhause around 5 today to install the alley door latch. I will JB weld the nopb as well...
It aint pretty but we have a latch on the alley door!
Awesome, thanks Chuck!
