@NeerajKA OK. So the Washington DC @WeWork offices have sliding doors that fit into the slider slots in the upper part of the frame (pic 1).

For maintenance, the doors are fitted by lifting them into the gap & hanging them in place, which then run on runners on the floor sliders (pic 2)/1

@NeerajKA @WeWork The lock on the door turns a "hook" into a hole in the frame. Regardless of umbrella, you can turn this lock.

@NeerajKA @WeWork Solution:

You need

-Crowbar &
-Long screwdriver or stick to move umbrella

1. Unlock the door
2. Fit crowbar under the door at the runner 3. Crowbar the door upwards into the space. This exposes enough of a gap between door runner & floor
4. Use screwdriver to move umbrella

@NeerajKA @WeWork CAUTION: Careful not to accidentally lever/push the door INSIDE, as that is the fitting side of the door. If it falls out, it spins on the diagonal axis (stopped by upper of "umbrella" side) & comes towards you.

@NeerajKA @WeWork Also, ensure the WeWork folk do this for Health & Safety reasons.
