Re: Safe Room Door Lock

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was a last minute decision (aren't they all). The door is wood, the
room is block, but the frame out is wood. I guess they'll hide the hinges
with the shelving - it's not gonna be 100% invisible obviously..it coulda
been if they had consulted with me 2 months ago instead of yesterday.

I'm thinking of hiding the control/pwr supply & backup outside the room
instead of inside since I want the lock to fail-secure...whaddya think? Of
course a rex button inside the room.
