[tech] Door lock broken

[Rufus Garton Smith]

'lo all,

While closing up UCC tonight, I noticed that the door lock would not lock, 
was too hot to touch, and that it was emmitting a smell of electrical 
burning. Due to the obvious fire danger and security risk, and without 
access to the machine room due to the recent replacement of the lock, I 
have had to remove the lock. A multimeter suggests that the door server is 
even now still emmitting a 12V current.

Since the Guild is now closed for the week end, I'm leaving the door open 
and without the lock installed so that David Adam doesn't have to climb 
down tomorrow when opening Cameron Hall for the Cleanup and subsequent 
Independence LAN. UWA Security rarely opens Cameron Hall on the week end 
unless requested to do so by students from Cameron Hall clubs and even 
then only occasionally, so the club should be safe until then - not that a 
locked door seems to stop anyone stealing things from us.

For the benefit of whoever reinstalls the door lock, the white cable was 
in the left terminal, and the red in the right terminal. You'll also need 
a medium size flat head screw driver (I haven't been able to find any in 
UCC after all those tools were stolen).

Regards,

Rufus
