Happy Friday Everyone,

Facilities would like to call to your attention that as outside temperatures fluctuate, so do our buildings’ doors and doorframes. This can cause latches and door closers to behave unexpectedly. It’s commonplace for Facilities Managers to make lots of minor adjustments to door hardware during periods of temperature shift (the so-called “shoulder seasons”) so that doors keep closing and latching as they should. With the recent warm-up outside, we’re seeing some of this phenomenon.

Given the ongoing need to prioritize building safety and security, we would like to remind you to take an extra couple of seconds when entering or exiting a building to make sure that the door has properly shut and latched behind you. We will do everything we can to keep our doors working smoothly, but they’re finnicky! It never hurts to double-check.

Should you notice a recurring issue with any particular door, please report it via the MaintainX Facilities Request Portal.

Thanks!
