Wow, you guys are something, many thanks to John, Terry and Steve. What a wealth of information on this forum. I'm going to read through these and make note of the steps and see if we can't get it working. I suspected these were commercial doors due to all the security locks, one upper and lower bolt on the right door edge that locks into the upper frame and the concrete floor, as well as a vertical slide bolt on the face of the door that goes up into a bracket on the frame. We have everything working now, at least from the inside but if you forget and shut the door you are locked out since we have no key, LOL. I promptly got myself locked out working on it and my husband was gone so I just had to wait. He had a good laugh, but today he did the same thing :) The door slides shut so gently you don't realize it till you hear the click. Rather than go back to duct tape we have tied a cord on the lever and run it under the door temporarily. I would be overjoyed if we can get this to work properly without having to call a locksmith. The doors were a steal and just what we wanted but installation was very expensive. And yes, John, your thought on the panic lock is correct, I had never heard of it.
