Main entrance doors

Of the two doors at the front of the 880 Grandview Way building, the pivot and closure of the south-side door (the door to your left when you are looking at the doors from outside the building) was damaged.

Possible causes include the strong northerly winds in the winter and blow slam open the south-side door, as well as careless use by residents and visitors.

One can use slide bolts to make it stationary but can be opened to make way for large items going through. This will cost about $350 (including taxes). Another way is to repair the close mechanism; this will cost under $1,200 (including taxes).

However, this is being put on hold temporarily because the Board is actively considering installing automatic door openers on the main lobby entrances (as well as at the P1 and P2 entrances). When and if it is decided to install the automatic door openers, it may not even be necessary to repair the south-side door.

Meanwhile, residents should use the door with care, as always should. Careless use and misuse will result in unexpected repair costs that end up becoming part of your monthly management fees. Please pass the message to your children and visitors.
