    That's a $61 (shipped) doorbell you are looking at. It would do a great job of making my house look shitty by comparison. #doorbells

    Question: why is that door...in the middle of a room inside of a house? Unless it also teleportation portal...that would explain the price.

    Even short people can reach a door knob, and this would TRIPLE the cost of security for every door in keys or sensors for alarm systems. Cute but not practical.

    Uhh...the door only swings in one direction--like all residential doors, dude.


    Or are you trying to say that you can only pass through a door in the one direction it swings open? In which case, I ask you, how long have you been hopelessly stuck in some room you apparently entered decades ago?

    @2001gsr: Look at the edges of the door. It has a slightly recessed area that wouldn't allow it to swing the other way.


    But ALL residential doors swing only one way. You would need a non-standard hinge to open it both ways...

    Yup, Spinsir told a funny. This door only lets you enter one way.


    Apparently, when you go the other way, you're exiting.

    @Islam Moe: I had a pet door for my cat (not one with those cool sensors) and I came home one day to find some strange orange cat sleeping in my rocking chair. I asked him who the hell he was, and he looked at me like "Who the hell are YOU". Apparently my kitty was bringing her little friends home. I threw him out the door, nailed the kitty door shut and listened to them cry to each other for days.

    In reply to Revolving Door Uses You to Make Energy
    I worked in the offices of a power company this past summer (Progress Energy in Raleigh, NC) and they had revolving doors in front. And there were big signs encouraging you to use the revolving doors. I put two and two together and kinda guessed that they were using those to generate electricity, seeing as how they're saving themselves money directly. I guess I could've been wrong, but I kinda thought it was common sense.

    In reply to At the End of the Day, $15,000 Carbon Fiber Biometric Door Is Still Just A Door
    Nowhere does it say it's a security door a and based on how it's fitted, it clearly isn't.

    The biometric scanner is there for access control, as is the door itself. It's not for ultimate security.

    And as for mythbusters and photocopied finger prints, that might work on your Lenovo laptop fingerprint scanner but proper stuff like we have at work is not that easily fooled (and you should use 2 methods of ID, eg code and biometric).

    @TessCulver: true. i did assume that it was used for security even tho it never says that it is. but to be fair, spending $15,000 on a custom door made from carbon fiber, with a biometric sensor instead of key that weighs in just shy of 100 lbs and is used as the only thing between the outside world to his home (okay, maybe not the only thing sine i am sure the elevator uses some form of key) seems like extreme measures for just a regular old door. i forget that rich people do things simply because the can afford to...

    i think the close up of the biometric lock inset looks a little half-assed. i dunno... sorta like is i had decided to do it to my door by myself, not like i just paid 15 grand to get a custom door.
