I like the shot and actually prefer the second tighter crop. For one thing the tighter closer view helps the viewer see more of the subtle texture on the metal surfaces of doors and locks. But I think the second crop could be improved if you moved the right edge one way or the other. I would have the edge a) bisect the locks, b) hide the locks, or c) show the locks completely, but with no space further to the right.
