Doors in the FBI office


I feel like the doors & floor-to-ceiling glass 'walls' border on being an optical illusion. Can someone describe if they can tell how the doors latch closed? It often looks like the glass panels are open / angled, so where would the door latch?

I don't know why it bugs me, but hey, we all have things that catch our eye... ?

Hey Tony...I noticed the same thing. IMO, due to this being a TV show, I believe there is no locks or latches on the doors. In the "real world" there would be latches on the doors.
I watched a behind the scenes video of how they film the F.B.I. office scenes;the glass walls tilt due to the camera being able to move around to film either Peter at his desk or the conference room when they all gather.

Our office has doors like that and they don't exactly "latch"

the hinges are at the top & bottom and the locking mechanism is at the bottom where the bolt goes into a metal groove in the floor.
