SCIF Door Replacement

BACKGROUND. The two existing STC 51 SCIF doors, one located at B2645 and the other located at B2646 have experienced alignment issues as they have aged. It appears that there are structural deficiencies in the walls causing the doors to drift from plumb approximately . This has resulted in interference between the deadbolt of the spin (combination) locks and the strike plates. The interference was cleared by filing the strike plate however, the doors remain out of plumb and require repair to the wall and replacement of the doors. The weight of the STC 51 and lack of structural support causes severe vibration of the walls when they are slammed shut. The slamming occurs typically under windy conditions when the vestibule door is opened while the STC 51 door is being closed. Alarming hardware is also required on two sets of double doors, one set in each building 2645 and 2646. Door replacement is required in room 102 of building 2645. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/OBJECTIVES.
