IIRC, Dr Jesus did open and clean them back in September/November ish.
He also came up with a plan (and ISTR bought some gear) to do a more
sophisticated locking mechanism for the glass doors -- or maybe it was a
plan to replace the glass doors with something better, my memory is
vague.  I do remember seeing some boxes of gear and hearing "oh yeah
that's for the front doors" but I never saw a final resolution.

(At about the same time he re-keyed the 3rd floor door and the front
gate to the "standard Noisebridge key", and we gave the other building
tenant copies of that key.  Then at some later point, after New Years?,
somebody pulled the lock out of the 3rd floor door entirely.  Sometimes
do-ocracy is awesome, sometimes do-ocracy makes people wail "this is why
we can't have nice things".)

So yeah, Dr J would be a good person to ask about this if he's still
around... I haven't seen him in weeks (months?).
