wait, do you mean when people buzz the buzzer and you buzz them in with 
the buzzer?  what the fuck are you trying to say?  smurf?

people ring the doorbell.  when you want to let them in without going 
downstairs yourself, you activate the solenoid.  It makes a buzzing sound 
when it's working, although the loudness of that sound depends on how 
tightly assembled the solenoid is.

are you saying there is no buzzing sound when you activate the solenoid to 
unlatch the door?  so you have to tell people to push the door?

leif mentioned the other night that the door latch wasn't working because 
you could just push the door open.  I don't think that's good at all.

I think we should replace the door latch with a good quality one that 
doesn't suck, and can't be forced open or picked with a bart card.

Also, it has become clear that the ground level buzzer does not work, so 
when to buz people in you have to tell them you're doing so via the 
microphone.

Either that, or the buzzer doesn't work at all and is being compensated 
for by the gate being broken. I will have to test that hypothesis.
