Flam locker location

I think the new location for the flam locker is a bad choice. It only lets the woodshop door open just past 90. This is probably ok sometimes, but when your hands are full carrying stuff out of the woodshop, the tendency is to shove just a little harder on the door so it swings wider and gives you a couple seconds to sneak through without dragging your project across the door. Doing that now results in the door bouncing violently off of the flam locker and coming back against you, knocking said stuff out of your hands.

This might even be a safety issue in the event of an emergency when people are rushing to get out of the space. The second person through is going to get smacked in the face by the rebounding door.

The lockers are different widths. Can they be arranged so the flam locker is farther west or is against the south wall again and there is more room for the door to open as it did before?

Facilities was nominally involved in the set up. We will look at it on Tuesday and change the setup if possible to correct the problem. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
