We had to get a maintenance man who in turn had to call another maintenance man to unlock when we first got there. Whenever we left, we had to leave it unlocked because the key wouldn’t work. We tried to shut the garage since the door was unlocked but the carriage doors wouldn’t shut. ##### Sherry E.
