What do I do?
Is this where I live now?

@Simon_Ochojna This is two kinds of Vonnegut…

Schrödinger's bar

@Simon_Ochojna
And what doohickey does the gray cable go to? Puzzled mind wants to know!

@dancingtreefrog @Simon_Ochojna I'm guessing that's a connection to an alarm system that triggers when you push the bar.

@alan
Was wondering. So, is the door a one-way door meant to only be opened from the other side?
@Simon_Ochojna

No. It’s a two way door and always has been.

It is now back in normal operation. Nobody in the entire building is any the wiser.

@Simon_Ochojna @dancingtreefrog This is beginning to take on the hallmarks of a low level prank.

@alan
Sounds likely to me, too. I hope whomever did it had fun!
@Simon_Ochojna

@Simon_Ochojna Break the glass, reach through, and use the handle from the other side to release the catch, then push on door to open.
