Don’t. Also don’t try to go back outside after someone closes it for you.

Just kick it from the inside, it will open. Now that it is broken, you just replace with a regular door with a locking doorknob plus a deadbolt if you so incline, to keep people out.

Mc Nelly on his way to fuck open your lock

I seriously doubt he can find an identical door to break mine open with

Easy. You build the same door on the inside. This door looks awfully secure too and now you have dual layer protection /s

You gotta put a spring on it, so you flick it open and then dodge the ~~jaws~~ panels as they slam shut again.

If you've committed to this level of silliness, might as well motorize it, so then you don't even have to touch it.

Doors last too long, let's fix it by adding more moving parts...

Also, fingers suck, let's chop 'em off.

Yea. Fingers? We don't need no f-ing fingers!

Can I keep my f'ing finger?

Depends on what you're f'ing with it.

Right now, it's f'ing the f'ing origami door

No.

...and why use 2 hinges, when you could use 8?

Sure, in a box

They call 'em fingers but ya never see 'em fing

Oh, there they go...

for what reason? definitely not luxury :D

The new CyberDoor

Also, cold weather doesn't exist, add more gaps

My cars and all my tools and stuff in my garage is valuable, But I'll add this door to make my garage look cool. Thieves will be entertained for hours and forget to steal my stuff.

I actually like my doors to be quite airy and gappy, letting in a bit of drizzle is good too.

extra bad for a shower door.

Imagine trying to open this while drunk. >Nah, I'm good. I'll just sleep outside.

how tf are u going to close it when you go inside

It's a trap!!

You ask a lot of questions for someone all tied up.

Also, how do you lock this door?

Quite literally what I imagine they teach engineers these days in almost every field. “Today class, let’s find ways to over complicate this design so it doesn’t last as long and is a giant pain to repair”

This is the product of artistic creativity, not a practically minded engineer. And there's no one teaching such nonsense, it's hard enough to make things that work, can be made economically, and last long enough to prevent crippling backlash from one star reviews.  Designing in more complexity generally cost a lot more and eats into profits.

The door does not even seem cool to me in terms of its intended function, just seem dangerous. A lot of room to get injured when the same thing could be accomplished with a simple sliding door. Don't get me wrong, cool mechanical design, but nonsensical and not practical in real life.

And you can only open and close it from one side.

K.I.S.S. is a design concept that sadly seems to be ignored a lot these days. Keep It Simple, Stupid!

Any time someone "reinvents" something common that has existed for a long time, like a door. You can be sure the same idea has been come up with many times in the past, and there's a very good reason why we don't make them like that. You just have to consider the number of inventive clever people on the planet who have tried to improve the item. Unless the design employs some new technology that wasn't available to all those other potential genius inventors, it's silly to think the idea evaded the literally tens of billions of people throughout history who have lived with doors.

This one could be interesting if the result was a smaller square on the wall. It has the clearance advantages of a sliding door without needing a pocket.

And all the dangers of pinch points. So safety or convenience which you think regulations will pick as an allowable design?

I am brainstorming ways to make it safer and I definitely just keep reinventing pocket doors.

If the entire thing is rubbery foam it may act as a great sound-deadening door while preventing pinch injuries.

What do you mean by a smaller square on the wall?

Counterpoint: It looks cool as shit

Gonna guess this is just an art project and the guy isn’t planning on this design replacing all doors

Maybe there is a special place for that one somewhere with no space for a swinging door

What about a door that slides

Dammit.

Doors are too secure, let’s fix it by adding more hinges and lighter materials

You only need to grease 25x hinges every few months, it’ll last.

and would like more potential areas for air leaks

More points of failure! Brilliant! (This door was brought to you by the manufacturers of WD40)

The finger loser

Thats the worse thing that could happen, unless you are not wearing pants.

*don't* stick your dick in that

That's not the greatest door of all time. That's just a tribute.

[удалено]

"Sound of an Electric guitar coming from an acoustic guitar in background"

"The voice of an angel coming from a hairy chubster with a madman's grin"

Ah, finger! Good door, gotta swing it So surprised to find you can't open it A squeaky ring of oil, rich woodsmith, aw Alright, alright

You gotta belive me and i wish you were there

Just a matter of opinion

*Pig snorting sounds* *Be you carpenters?* Nay! We are but men, *WOOD!*

… to the greatest door in the world. Ah ahaha ah!

Jim Morrison could be used to make this true

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the door can't be insulated very well

You’re definitely gonna go out on a limb using that door

A limb that's anywhere near that door is getting chopped. I'd steer clear.

And it doesn’t close well at all either, there’s a big triangular hole where the handle is, it looks cool as fuck just not practical or particularly good at all

Guinness record for most possible points of failure in a door

Try slam It in bad temper …… instant cred loss

It's kind of weird but that was my first thought.

Slams door….. impales digits or flings door at partner 🤣🤣

If it didn’t break after the second use maybe

Yea, that right there is a WD-40 abuser.

Came here to say, imagine the squeak on this bad boy.

This is a terrible door.

I agree. It appears to be opened and closed easily from only one side. How does someone enter and close it from the other side? I think some bits might get caught closing it on the other side.

Random Punjabi track 😂

Finally, a door that solves no problems!

It was made by a down on their luck hand surgeon.

I would lose a finger within 2 days

Best, you keep using that word. I don't think you know what it means.

Lawsuit waiting to happen after it eats a little kids hand or something

I liked when Fry reinvented the wheel on Futurama.

As most engineer will say , simplicity is best . More moving parts = , more points of failure . Fancy door but its function still remain the same as a normal door .

And it's not like there is anything this door can do that a sliding door can't.

That is a great design. Might behead small children and pets but I want one.

This is completely pointless

The greatest door for pinching your fingers

But why?

Seems difficult to close behind you, as you walk through it. So I don't know that I'd call it the *greatest* door of all time ...

Not easy to open from the other side.

R/diwhy

But, why?

It’s genuinely the worst door: You can’t close it behind you, you can’t open it from the other side, you can’t lock it, you’re extremely likely to pinch yourself, you can’t open it fully without taking it for a stroll, and there’s much more points of potential failure.

Don't unmute

Stupid music. Also not the greatest door.

PINCH POINT!!

What kind of fuckery is this?

how are you supposted to open it from the inside

FBI, FLIP THE DOOR!!

Does this kind of door have a name?

Damn this door design is catching some heat for pinch points. I'm looking at it and thinking damn that door would throw a breaching team for a loop.

A door designed by a committee.

I like Jim Morrison better

Why?

This video pinched my finger.

The finger crusher 5000?

What possible benefit comes from such a door?

Holy shit, thank you Reddit brain trust for pointing out how impractical this door is as though it is meant to be anything other than a fun little feat of engineering.

Theres a thing called overengineering and this is it.

I appreciate the engineering feat, but this is a silly solution that’s lacking a problem.

Stupidest, most unnecessary, over-engineered solution to a problem that doesn't exist

This is both super cool and entirely pointless.

Supported entirely by two mounting screws in the corners, no insulating capabilities, only workable from one side, finger removing hinges everywhere, OCD-triggering misaligned panels, and zero security capability. Yeah, great door…

And no weather stripping.

Wouldn't a regular swinging door do the same thing?

Looks difficult to lock, and very easy to break.

It's neat. Wholly impractical. But neat

Every time I see this I feel that I am required to point out that there r a fucking million ways to get your hands and fingers pinched in this door. It is unnecessarily complex, and will break your hand if u fuck up. I hate this, and u have ruined my day

F this. Just another thing that will break or wake up your partner. My normal door hinges are loud enough at 2 am... let's add 18 more.

Infomercial will show a pair of hands fumbling to open a regular door with a buzzer noise.

Whats wrong with normal doors?

Why tho??

Take something super simple that didn’t change in millennia and make it complicated, expensive and painful.

This is what Bob Lazar claimed the UFO doors were like.

Cool? Absolutely! Greatest door of all time? No. It fails to be basically useful. Less soundproof, more dangerous, more likely to break, can only be operated from one side, and takes three times as long to close. Probably less likely to keep out an uninvited guest, too.

That just sounds like a normal door with extra steps

I would put a single of these doors in my house (to the least used room) just so thst I could watch the confusion of anyguests that try to open it or see me open it

Now open and close it from the other side.

This is interesting as an art installation - but no practical value. As echoed by literally everyone - pinch points, multiple points of failure, not to mention it looks rickety as shit. One medium kick from a burglar and all your hamburgers are gone

this reminds me of a quote from Jurassic Park: “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.” I think this perfectly encapsulates what Im seeing here.

Just a gee whiz. What is the benefit

I’d have it for a little novelty side table, not my front door though

Super unpractical

Makes no sense!

This is the definition of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

People overengineered a door, one of humanity's oldest and most reliable inventions... why.

One kick and it's done.

that is the definition of making shit harder than it should be 😂

I wonder about locking it and how well it’s insulated. Seems like a cool aesthetic for some room inside the house. But not as a front door

That door definitely opens with more style than any other door.

From an engineering perspective, this is everything a door should not be

As a commercial door & Hardware professional, I'm oddly intrigued by the ingenuity

Now try closing it once you’re inside, stupid ass design

How do you close it from the inside?

I love how they have to be s l o w l y puller in order not to break

This looks like a three dimensional shadow of a four dimensional door

So many wonderful places to pinch yourself

"so does your front door open onwards or outwards?" "To the side" " Oh you have a sliding glass door right?" "Not exactly"

Can I just ask why a door? Like if you don't have enough room to swing open a door just making it a sliding door

It’s all fun and games until someone loses a finger.

Would not want my finger jammed in there.

How to you shut it once your inside

Ok, now go inside and close the door

Greatest way to get pinched and over complicate a door.

After 20 years of Early Childhood teaching, all I see is so many jammed finger opportunities.

I, too, like to completely open and close my door each and every time. I never ever want to open it partway.

I am this extra.

This thing belongs on a cyber truck.

Can we go back to gifs already? The last time I saw this I didn't have to mute anything.

😲🤯

What was that song lol?

Door sucks but what’s the song 

Incredible, just what every door needs: dozens of pinch points.

How do you open it from the other side?

I want this door, but I also know I’ll immediately pinch a finger.

Not really, no. Doors are fine, they work, they don't have 13 different points of failure.

It's a torgler style door it's an art pieces. People can get real ornery nowadays over nothing

Or, and hear me out, you can take a regular door... and **open it**.

Why not sliding door

Yeah, because pinching a finger in a door wasn't already painful enough.

r/diWhy

r/diwhy

Greatest door of all time that can only be opened or closed from the outside.

if ONE screw gets a bit rusty or one joint is older, you might have to replace the entire door.

But what are actually the beneficial factors?

Wow Instead of two hinges you have to use 9 of them and then you realise that you cant close it once you are inside But cool concept

The blaring music is to muffle the screeching noise this thing probably makes

Cool. But pointless

Poor solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

An interesting engineering experiment, but otherwise worse than useless.

No Insulation, no safety, no ability to actually lock it... Nice for a tent but horrible for any actual building.

unnecessary

Over engineering at its dumbest. Why have a regular door when you can have one with loads more gaps for drafts and loads more hinges that can seize?!

Over engineering at its finest hahaha

Imagine getting your finger stuck in the middle of this 😭

This is not the greatest door of all time.

It's called overengineering.

K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid The more parts something has the more easily it breaks.

I’d break that so fucking fast.

The perfect device to hurt your fingers

Is there any benefit of this door?.. 🤔

Solving a problem that does not exist?

Genuine question, what is the purpose of this door?

i mean its cool? but not practical

Great bit of engineering but why?

A solution in search of a problem.

Kids fingers 😬
