Mike. Geez...weren't you paying attention? :lol

I notice you didn't address "talent" in your reply to my post. That's the one thing that you can't get anywhere else...and you appear to have it in spades. :thumbsup
 
Re: The Smugglers Room - Full Scale Entertainment Room

Rooms like this are definitely my favorite!

And this looks better than I ever imagined one.

Wow!

:lol I saw Mike, just didn't know the last name, I know a few of them. As for talent, well, I can't add 2 + 2 without getting 12, but as for gluing plastic and plumbing parts I have been blessed.:lol

thanks though!

Re: The Smugglers Room - Full Scale Entertainment Room

Thank you all for the nice comments, and the interest, thats why I love this place. But I could use a little design help???

I have been trying to figure out how to make the object in the image below, work as a doorknob, so that I don't have to use a standard doorknob and ruin the seamless integration of the design.

Any thoughts you guys may have to help out, or something you may have done before would be much appreciated!

I'll throw out a few brainstorming options for you, but the placement of the "object" in the rendering looks like it is up and to the right of the actual door knob. That complicates things a little bit, unless you move the knob up higher on the door.

If you move the "object" to the knob area you could ....

1. Change the knob to a lever handle, and blend that into the objects design. Here is a cool one that could blend into the design.

2. On the site where I found that lever they also have a thing called the UIP-ULTRALATCH. Never heard of it, but it looks even more integratable than the lever.

3. Get rid of the regular door latch all together and change the latching mechanism to large cabinet style latch that you would have on kitchen cabinets. The roller latch would have to be sized for a larger door, but you could then locate the object any where you like and just construct it tough enough so you can pull the door open. Put a dummy knob on the insided of the door and you're good to go.

toddslightning, I love the pocket door idea, unfortunately as I have installed these before, it won't work in that space. I would have to basically take that wall down, and rebuild it. (Which would be great, but I would like to utilize the door I have to save funds) However, I will absolutely use that at the laundry room doorway, as I have to buy one for that space anyway. And I love the sound effect idea as well, I think that is MUST do. Thanks!

Gator Fett, this is a great way to go, I think i like the cabinet method the best, what do you think about the magnetic type vs the style you put up? I think it might actually work pretty well, thoughts?
