I'd also add that a pretty basic requirement of a front door lock is
that if you have a key (physical or code), you should always be able
to open the door from the outside.

It seems that currently, the door has a failure mode which can make it
impossible to open (without being forced) from the outside. That seems
pretty bad to me; we shouldn't have to rely on there *always* being
someone at NB to let people in.

Plus, what do the 2nd floor tenants do? They have to get in too; the
front gate isn't just ours, and if we make modifications to it, we
have a responsibility to other tenants in the building to ensure that
they are able to get in and out easily as well.
