      We have recently had new gates installed around or property of 12 units in Melbourne.  They are fitted with a lever handle to exit, which has a key lock in it, and now after 1 months use, the lock has jammed and everyone has to use a key to unlock the gate to get out to the street.

      This is incredibly frustrating and inconvenient to need a key every time I want to go out and am concerned that in an emergency I might not be able to get out.

      OC manager says since we are a class 1A property, our gates “comply”.  He obviously doesn’t have to get a key out every time he leaves his own house! 

      Also, because our committee hired a fly by night gate contractor, they are unable or unwilling to get him return to site to fix any problems we have.

      what rights do I have? surely being locked in is a safety issue?

    PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
