It works every time if you do that. The return spring is weak causing the handle to not return to the fully latched position on its own, and that prevents the lock from engaging.
I have the same gloves but not w/ leather palms. I like those! mine also are a bit sticky if I wear them over a certain temperature. but I believe I got mine 1 size too big, so I can still get back in them w/o any trouble. re: the Bedford restrooms, didn't notice what you mentioned, last Tuesday, but noticed the light wasn't working on the ladies room door & it was also not locked for the season yet. I wish they kept them open year 'round, but thanks for the tip because I plan to visit again before they close up
