How do you

[buzzlightyear]

How do you keep the door open that shuts behind you and get locked out and you keep pushing the door entry system to say to the customer I'm out side, open the door.
Today in and out of the flat ground floor
Taking the gear in like a camel. sod this out came the cold chisel and rammed it under the metal door. Now I can get in and out.

Stick summat over the threshold to stop the door closing all the way.

I'd keep the door open for you, but I would need paying, in cheesecakes.. (Plural)
You would have to keep 2 meters away from me though, which would make it difficult getting through the door...

Depends on the type of locking mechanism.

If it has a yale type lock with electric release then just put it on the latch.
If it has a key lock with a knob to lock it on the inside then lock it while it's open and it won't shut all the way.
If there is a doormat pull it into the open doorway slightly to stop the door closing.
If it has a coded lock ask the customer for the code.
If it has a key lock that can't be latched ask the customer for a key.

Is there a "service" button?

Failing that, the big red cylindrical door stops that you see everywhere.... i think they are marked with "fire extinguisher"... Normally hanging up somewhere on a handy bracket

Folded up bit of cardboard jammed under the door Normally does the trick..

Nah, not even a card box rolled up with somebody in side will not do, could prop them up against it. Lol.

Well normally I ask the tenant, landlord or letting agency for a key and then return it after use or if a coded door the access code, although I have used the door mat option on occasions as well

 

[Baddegg]

Had this very problem in a block of flats in Southampton the other day, door entry system broke so tenant is waiting to give me an electronic pass and a key to her flat then goes off to work......I then proceed to her flat.....then immediately back to my van leaving both keys in the flat ? ?
