What you seem to be saying is that there would have been a lock on the front door during the building period (or all the gear and building supplies would have been stolen) and there probably hasn't ever been any motion passed to remove that lock which is common property.
So what you do is propose a motion at a general meeting that the lock that would have been there (and isn't any more) should be formally removed. Then you and others who want a locked front door vote against the motion (which would require a 75 % vote to pass), the motion falls and you can then insist that the EC reinstates the lock because the vote required to remove it has failed.
Hey, if this stands up it is a stroke of genius. But I can't help thinking there must be a flaw in it somewhere.
And, just being nit-picky, failure to maintain common property isn't criminal offence – its a civil breach (more's the pity).
