the front door was open by operation of the smaller door being left ajar and the larger door being closed which caused the smaller door to stay open.

upon inspection, i discovered that one of the bolts holding the vertical bar, that locks the smaller door closed, was missing & the vertical bar assembly was dangling loosly on it's other bolt.

i rebolted the assembly back down but i think it may be time to install the lower bar on the smaller door, that  goes into the floor to secure the door from the top & bottom.

i've been told there's a place in emmeryville that sells commercial door parts.
i'll try to find out where it is.
