Editing 2169/Accessibility (section)

===Doors===

Note: The front gate is very heavy and will require help or upper-mobility to push in, as will the elevator doors.

Noisebridge's main entrance gate has a buzzer doorbell button.  It is usually the middle button under the intercom box.  There is also key card access via RFID if you are a member or supporter.  The buzzer notifies someone upstairs who will see you via a video camera and "buzz you in" during regular hours (usually 9am-11pm).

The front door buzzer is sometimes blocked by the supermarket's fruit stands (note, I have not seen this in the last couple years - 09/17/17), but they have been asked to stop doing this, and can be told to immediately remove the obstruction if you feel inclined to do so (on behalf of the tenants of 2169 Mission.  There are many computerized workarounds to activate the electric door latch.  See [[Getting Here]] and [http://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Moving/2169_Mission/Access_Control#How_Do_I_Get_Into_2169_Mission.3F Access Control] for more info.

Once the door latch is "buzzed" either by the button inside Noisebridge or by someone clicking the web-link to do so, the door must be pushed inward by hand or by power-chair, and it will automatically close and latch when released (note, it slams somewhat loudly).  This door is quite heavy and many people may understandably need assistance pushing it in.  A post to NB-Discuss or Slack is a good idea if you need assistance with the door, or you can ask for assistance from the many people coming and going from the space at all hours.  Hopefully we will eventually get a full intercom system going to help with this.

If you want assistance when leaving, ask anyone at the space to accompany you to the door and help you out.  I have always found people willing to do this.  If you there is ever an issue though, please post to NB-discuss or Slack (or come to our [https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Meetings Tuesday night meetings]) so we can correct it.
