I noticed on Friday that one

I noticed on Friday that one of the locks does not lock all the way. At the time it was on the Porta Potty door.

It took me 3 tries before I got it to lock properly...

Speaking of the porta potty,

Speaking of the porta potty, has it been turned back around to face the alley so that it's accessible without entering the yard?

Both of the locks are being

Both of the locks are being extremely finicky about locking.  They will appear to be locked but come unlocked again if pulled on hard enough.  I imagine it has something to do with the cold/moisture.  I don't know if some WD40 or other substance would help, or if we should think about replacing them.

i have some WD40 we can spray

i have some WD40 we can spray on them.  my lock (identical) has been having the same issues, and i do believe its water and the freeze/thaw cycles we have bene experiencing.  since W(ater)D(isplacement)40 displaces, um, water, it should do the trick.

The lock to the bathroom was

The lock to the bathroom was randomized and looked to be locked, but I tugged at it due to this thread and it unlocked pretty easily.

Secondly the little knob on the brew house door latch came unattached.  I was able to snap it back into place, but we will need to address this ASAP.

I think I left some JB weld

I think I left some JB weld in one of the drawers in the office, mix a bit of that up, pull the post out and shove it in there with the post. 

We should look into getting a new lock, or at least swapping the yard one with the bathroom one.
