Personally I don't have time to put towards this (wish I did), but
would be happy to send $20 towards repair/replacement of this lock.
Anyone else in? If enough of us contribute, we can have a more robust
lock without anyone being put out too much.

Well said. We should take the initiative here and make sure there's a
lock on this door appropriate to the (largely Noisebridge generated)
traffic passing through it. Anyone else in on this?
