My brother and SIL live in 1973 building**. They are on the 17th floor of an 18-story building, and the sliding glass door (patio door) to the balcony has a broken lock.
I'm polling all of you, that is, all except the ones I've filtered out, to see if you would spend $20, or even 5 minutes, to replace the lock.
The window guy was here today, rappelling from the roof, in a little chair. He'd have no trouble breaking in via the balcony, but I don't think he'd do it. Who else would?
**Surprisingly old to me. When I moved to Brooklyn NY and in 1974 lived in a building from 1930, I thought that was old, and why the receptacle in my room was so loose that when a heater was plugged in, it got so hot it set the hard rubber plug on fire. Only 1.5 inches of flame but still. And this place too, remodeled but the guy did't think to check the receptacles, and one I've noticed will only hold a plug if everything goes right. A truck passing by 17 flights down would probably knock something out, and my charger wouldn't stay in in the first place.
