I forgot that we might be getting a new doorway this summer anyway
(I'll blame my cold for that).  So I agree that the steering group
should weigh the usefulness of replacing the lock, given it's
potentially short life.

People have been talking about fixing the lock for a long time.
What's changed is that people have moved from "yeah, we should
probably fix that lock, huh?" to "let's finally get that lock fixed".
But again, given the front may be revamped ...

Your back door idea sounds like a good way to get around the problem
in the meantime.

Thanks,
