Why does my player go to a random position after setting its position to a specific Vector3 and loading a level?

Hi, so in my game I have one doorscript which I put on all door objects so when they are activated they should send the character to a certain position (which i manually input as a public Vector3) and a certain level (which I also manually input as a string) all through the inspector

heres the gist of the script:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class DoorScript : MonoBehaviour
 {
     GameObject player;
     public bool unlocked;
     public int Key;
     Spells spells;
     public bool LeadsToDifferentScene = false;
     public string LevelItLeadsTo;
     public Vector3 LocationItLeadsToInThatLevel;
     public bool quantumLeap = false;
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start()
     {
         player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
         spells = player.GetComponent(typeof(Spells)) as Spells;
     }
     public AudioClip lockedsound;
     public AudioClip opensound;
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
         if (tag == "Active" && unlocked)
         {
             AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(opensound, transform.position);
             if (!LeadsToDifferentScene && !quantumLeap)
             {
                 player.transform.position += player.transform.up * 1f;
             }
             else if (LeadsToDifferentScene && !quantumLeap)
             {
                 player.transform.localPosition = LocationItLeadsToInThatLevel;
                 Application.LoadLevel(LevelItLeadsTo);
                 
             } else{
                 player.transform.position = LocationItLeadsToInThatLevel;
             }
             tag = "Inactive";
         }
         else if (tag == "Active" && !unlocked)
         {
             if (spells.LookForKey(Key))
             {
                 unlocked = true;
                 // play unlocke sound?
                 AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(opensound, transform.position);
                 if (!LeadsToDifferentScene)
                 {
                     player.transform.position += player.transform.up * 1f;
                 }
                 else if (LeadsToDifferentScene && !quantumLeap)
                 {
                     player.transform.localPosition = LocationItLeadsToInThatLevel;
                     Application.LoadLevel(LevelItLeadsTo);
 
                 } else{
                     player.transform.position = LocationItLeadsToInThatLevel;
                 }
                 tag = "Inactive";
             }
             else
             {
                 AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(lockedsound, transform.position);
                 GameObject ohno = Instantiate(Resources.Load("Messages/OkMessage")) as GameObject;
                 OkMessage ohyes = ohno.GetComponent(typeof(OkMessage)) as OkMessage;
                 ohyes.message = "Locked";
                 tag = "Inactive";
             }
         }
     }
 }

On this particular door I have unlocked = true, leadstodifferentscene = true, levelitleadsto = MyLevelName, locationitleadstointhatlevel = the vector <17, 35, 0>, quantumleap = false.

It literally works for all of my ~20 doors that are in the game so far! For some reason this door isn't working and it is sending the player to the position <4.92, 19.2, 7.14> a seemingly completely RANDOM position!!?

Is it because the level isn't loading properly.. or what? This door is exactly the same as this other door that leads to <6, 36, 0> in the SAME EXACT SCENE and it works perfectly.

ALSO I used player.transform.localPosition because I tried it with player.transform.position thinking it would fix it, but it doesn't, it's the exact same result. The player object is not a child to anything so it shouldn't.

any ideas would be nice! thanks
