The Fab Shop

Fab Shop Door Not Locked
Author Last Post

This is something I have been noticing for the last year where I'll see it unlocked, lock it and the next day I'll come in and its unlocked again. This is a complaint I have raised as well. I have put up a clear sign that the door MUST be locked. People are using it as a regular exit instead of walking around and using the mud room.



Clear warning if you are reading this:


KRM regularly sells key controlled fire door alarms. The kind with the large red release paddle that set off an alarm when opened without a bypass key and will not turn off until someone comes with a key to turn it off.

For the convenience of *everyone*, do not tempt me to fund the purchase and installation of one, then give the keys to the board so they can open it whenever we need to move supplies in and out because technically that's a fire door. Don't ruin this for everyone else at the space.

Hey all!


I've noticed that quite a few times I've come into the fab shop early in the morning to find the bolt lock on the door leading outside isn't locked.


I get bit weary that it wouldn't be hard for someone if they really wanted in to open the fab door if it isn't properly locked. There have been times when I see folks around who try to get in the front door without fobs, etc.


It know it can seem inconsequential if you're not used to having to be on-guard about strangers -- let's be mindful that not all members are big burly men 😅


Thanks!
