Villa Alhambra Townhouse Gates

Exterior Locks

Exterior Locks – Issues• The exterior townhouse gate locks we

currently have are interior/exterior locks

• Many, if not all, of the locks are quickly rusting/corroding

• The inside of the locks are rusting also• Our current locks have accessible,

screws which corrode in the elements and present a potential security issue

Exterior Locks - History• Christian von der Goltz (Unit 103) researched

and purchased the exterior locks (at his expense) for the gates, as per his understanding with the board

• The board opted to go with other (interior/exterior) locks

• The interior/exterior locks were installed less than a year ago

• Mr. von der Goltz returned the exterior locks• The following photos were taken on
