Check the latchbolt at the strike plate to make sure it's not binding. The door might be putting pressure on the latchbolt & not letting it release!

For your gate latch you might need to open up the hole in the frame because the strike is binding in the hole and not leting it retract. Ive installed and fixed alot of doors over the last 12 years and have had to adjust strike plates and modify the hole in some to get them to work properly

I used to manage restaurants in Fresno Ca and had restaurants in bad areas where tagging was crazy. My entire restaurant was tagged over night once and they scratched the windows and spray painted basically every surface. They even tagged the trees! You have to respond very quickly because they love to see their work and if you don't get it fast, it will embolden them to do more. We closed the store for the day, called the graffiti squad of the police dept. and I went to get all the color matched paint and put all my employees on the cleanup that day. The next day we had it looking like it never happened and they didn't tag my store again.

I was going to locksmith school right across the street from the Pepcon plant when it exploded in 1988. Luckily we were in the field in downtown Vegas when the explosion actually happened so we were spared any injury. But even as far away as we were you could feel the percussion of the blast. Afterward it was crazy to see the damage. Garage doors folded like playing cards, doors blown completely out of their frames and so on. I've got a lot of memories from that time. Some good, some bad.

How long does it take for the door to open and close? You may want to make sure not to leave until it's fully shut, somebody might try to sneak in?? Also it looks like the door handle is still missing the screws in it so you might want to secure it before you try to open and shut it. Good luck and hope you catch the people that painted your wall. Also the noise from the waterfall will attract people to climb over the wall??
