[TCH]

made my door in the usual way.

triangular frame attached to a post anchored to the floor and the bench

used brass strip for connections

was having trouble posting photos yesterday so will try again

this is the door from both sides

 

[TCH]

as can be seen I have to duckunder the upper level to enter the room.
as this is the only duckunder and is 51" high it is not a problem.

just realised this post should be in the tips & tricks sub forum.
how do I get it shifted?

I love the contacts idea!!! Its a simple way to drop the power when the door is open instead of a switch. "solid state" if you will.

thanks b28 82

I must admit I like to do things as simply as possible.
doesn`t always work out but this one did.
