TorgglerSteelDoor, 200 kgs steel

RodDoor is the first kinetic object by Klemens Torggler and was invented in 1997 and publicly exhibited in the same year.
The minimalist design with 2 rectangles and a coupling rod was further developed over the years through iteration and equipped with a second rod in favor of a balanced movement. This object has been manufactured in many ways from all conceivable materials and with various hidden technology. Since the movement is very balanced, i.e. there is no uncontrolled tilting, lightly built objects, despite the shearing rectangles, are absolutely safe to operate and harmless. Only a small amount of force is needed to set the objects in motion, which means that there is only a small amount of kinetic energy in the moving object and therefore the object can easily be brought to a standstill.
Like all kinetic works, these also serve the artist and creator as a playing field for various image motifs in order to work with the change of the motifs through the special movement. → • Klemens Torggler "Pict...
There are also extremely heavy variants of the RodDoor made of solid steel. These works may only be moved by trained personnel.

This brings "Getting your fingers caught in the door" to a whole new level....

[@schulhausgarten1371]

What fingers?

[@tysonristau4995]

There are no pinch hazards in a pair of scissors 😢

[@ashpats2]

Same as with any other door tbh

[@pocket83]

Turned sideways and motorized, this would make a beautiful garage door. As far as a passage door in a residence: no thanks. Imagine getting up for drink in the middle of the night and snagging/pinching yourself. Conceptually beautiful, nevertheless.

[@chhatranayonghang6175]

Where can buy this door

[@purtelo]

Bye bye fingers :D

[@ТолькоНепутин]

и не только))) рано или поздно кому нибудь и голову отрубит)))

[@AnchorGaurav]

🤣🤣

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

As with most doors.

[@macelius]

One of my first thoughts.

[@SarahHipwell]

What an elegant and fabulous design, really clever!

[@user-mt4jx1lx3g]

an Art work true but literally a household death trap ,I imagine your fingers getting crushed, your pet walking pass getting crushed , getting your clothes stuck and getting your whole hand stuck all becaus you want a fancy door

[@1lapmagic]

Door: Now with 100000% more chance of having a body part severed

[@AmaterianAngel]

So neat! but I bet i'd get my hand jammed in there somehow.

[@iknowsstuff]

my fingers hurt just watching, but i still want!!!!!!!!!

[@MrDexter9i3]

finger hazard...but ingenius...

[@BorisMitendorfer]

Wow, unique door construction!

[@RadioSolidariaOficial]

I love this...Congratulations!

[@Tuffenough4u]

The design as an art piece is great, but the design as more of a functional door worthy of a steel one at least, seems flawed. It needs a steel track groove like a hidden track slide door, but mounted on the out side against the far wall. That would eliminate a forced entry attempt since it would brace the entire outside edge between a bolted through brick steel rail. I would assume the inner side would be pretty strong with the support of the central bar positions and outer bearing mounts. Just food for thought

[@tagore4d]

Thats one hell of a design!...amazing man... who evr got ths idea!...hatsoff to him

[@wtffffffffffffffffffffffff]

A futuristic way to accidentally chop off your finger

[@mydogwasbrian]

But can you slam it?

[@will3634]

YJM YJM You can probably get some gilloutine action from that

[@SirtubalotTX]

This is what you get when you cross a door with a guillotine. Strangely enough, I still like it!

[@Yamahaz600]

This door can cut everything, very nice!

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

I like how smooth it moves

[@1ihatelies]

This man is a genius.

[@abrahamsa4027]

Wow. True artist. Congratulations

[@KillItandGrillIt]

Totally cool I like it. Now I have to build one.

[@reynoirjr]

This is genius! wish i could put this in my house here in the states.

[@RyanEK001]

why could you not?

[@mariodicredico6630]

It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@vii408]

Very cool, and it also looks very dangerous!

[@highdownmartin]

Thought I'd post a humorous comment on losing fingers but 200 people got there first

[@paullangford8179]

Good idea. I would expect the hear a satisfying "thud" at the end of travel: how do you lose that?

[@KlemensTorggler]

The cameraman nattered!

[@philliplopez8745]

That would be a fantastic "pocket door " installation. Archimedes would be proud .

[@andres6868]

interesting....so simple it's amazing apparently no one think about this before

[@EgadsNo]

Fantastic door.

[@paulareutlinger350]

I want these doors. Beautiful!!!!

[@sam23696]

A door that you have to stand back while it opens to prevent loss of limbs... Not a great idea for a household, but I think the key part is that the door is heavy and metal, yet easy to open without electrical actuators. I'd like to know the stats with this, if it is better then a door with tracks, actually superior to a conventional door for applications like bunkers or defensive measures.

[@JeremyCoppin]

To paraphrase Steven Wright : we had a door like that growing up in my parents' home. I was an only child... Eventually..

[@d2life006]

Nice😄

[@markoasdadriver6285]

Cool idea. Looks great, but not if your in a rush.

[@SomeOne247]

That is pretty neat!

[@eggyolk8067]

I fear no door but that thing... *it scares me*

[@JOhnDoe-nl4wj]

10 fingers, fancy door. Choose one.

[@JOhnDoe-nl4wj]

And don't think you could keep your toes as well.

[@KlemensTorggler]

At least watching the video is not dangerous!

[@Invoilabilis]

Cheers! But honestly man that’s art

[@shadowremorse]

well not a door for people that go home drunk, or have kids, or actually just anybody that have the right mind

[@Galvatorrix]

No.

[@iron-farmer]

Yerp

[@VermillionDawn]

Simple and awesome!

[@vinesreloaded]

Its amazing yrr... Good job

[@bamitzcamz]

this is awesome! if its open can you close it from the outside. for instance if you want to leave the room and close the door behind you.

[@theslimeylimey]

[H] That is pretty slick and very clever.

[@leonaenichol9166]

very cool door

[@Nimli22]

My dad had a door like that on hes old workshop it was a proto type for some kitchen design

[@tylerwestrich1437]

This may look dangers now but give it time and I bet it will be amazing!

[@ChrisCostuna]

But what if you want the door open just a little?

[@KlemensTorggler]

It is quite balanced and stays in nearly every position without using a damper or something like that.

[@drz400sfinster4]

Why do you want open a door just a LITTLE? WTF?

[@milosjovanovic7347]

HowDoYouLockThis

[@googert6407]

Good job

[@josemendiola4957]

🐶🐾excelente video felicidades !!!☕✌😎👣

[@mtssvnsn]

Are the edges possibly razor sharp...?

[@bluto212]

Very beautiful, but will you lose a finger if you're not careful?

[@xdragonxb0i]

How much? I can see a 20 lb steel door being a problem with your hand getting caught. But by the ease the door moves I think it did be also be easy to unnamed your hand of it gets caught

[@chesterjuall2754]

Awesome!

[@antonio-a-atienza-iii_born1979]

That's a door for nerds who like circus physics inside home.

[@durhamjut]

pretty, but I can see two additional areas where fingers can get pinched, when compared to conventional doors.

[@Ranzord95]

Maybe on a lighter material, to reduce the force required thus decreasing the chances of accidents?

[@KlemensTorggler]

One possibility, or you switch to the 100% save Evolution Door: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3fRk3Smg9eEic0

[@vroum68]

Very original system bravo

[@ithaqua_8280]

Seeing the comments 7 years ago Similar to the humour we have today damn...

[@blueyosh43]

It's not like 7 years is even close to being a long time ago.

[@samyukgu369]

what an unreasonable door!

[@DOGMA1138]

Besides looking cool and being a potential limb dismemberment device, why exactly is it better than a traditional sliding door?

[@radet2]

soo, how do you lock this door ?

[@billkirchner4495]

Locks are most likely "extra". I had the same thought about locks.

[@nkd75]

make 2 holes and put a chain through it locking the 2 squared panel ... lol industrial style ! ... :)

[@diegroblers]

Locks that you use on sliding doors would work. Attack to one half where it meets in the middle, locking through the other half.

[@patriot-wf1er]

Looks cool. But dose it come with a locking mechanism

[@jcdesanare]

Hermosa!, pero parece una guillotina muy eficiente!!!

[@juniorcunhaferroearte5837]

good afternoon, I would like to take a doubt on you. What is the secret you used on this upper and lower axis? So that with just a tap the door turns by itself.!

[@theotactics4792]

Really cool door, but idk, seems like a really easy way to get injured

[@ДенисДезеров]

Great door. Is anyone have a draft or model of it ?

[@The_Sweet_Res]

How does the two boards coordinate? This is different with those that has their corners locked in-place and fold outwards when moving.

[@garyl6031]

HAY! is this the finger wacker 5K?

[@SiKiZZY]

The truly only down part I see from this apart the very minimal hazardous design would be that you would need to grease this thing up I bet every so often, or what happens when it get's rusty.

[@GordonGarvey]

What if you're in the room and someone holds it shut? It looks like they'd have the advantage. They might even stick something between those two bars.

[@mmcalifornia8600]

So cool

[@hadleydonaldson6113]

TROGGLERDOOR THE BURNINATOR

[@Gtfallofyer]

That doors just begging for a fingertip! Sometimes things just don’t need to be pissed about with!

[@thewanderertalei]

nice but... how to lock?

[@allamericandiner]

i understand the aesthetics, but any advantage from a functional perspective?

[@tamtam9]

I found this door in the movie. Orbiter 9 (2017)

[@markcranston814]

brilliant

[@AdamsWorld84]

Cool! But bye bye fingers if you get them near the scissor section.... ouch.

[@mariosanchez4595]

so, you can only use it from the inside?

[@KlemensTorggler]

No

[@milkncheese1]

I find the "it's dangerous" comments funny... don't be so stupid and evolve in to a human... it was never intended as a kids door nor for a family house.... it's a very cleaver design and concept. with ease in motion.

[@RationalSphere]

James Gilbert "it's a very cleaver design" nailed it!

[@milkncheese1]

hobyrne that was the pun.... glady got it..

[@sam23696]

Well, it depends of the application for this. As an art piece it is great, but where would this be practical to use? A household? Not at all. In a public area a heavy door will be useful, and opened often enough to look for an alternative to rails and electricity, but children and idiots will mess it up and cut off their fingers, hence the dangers. While I appreciate the attitude of survival of the fittest, let the idiots learn the hard way, nobody will use this in their business for insurance and health and safety reasons. For a security door or defensive measure? It wont be used by idiots, so safety is not an issue, but then again it wont be used often so the reason for avoiding rails and actuators is void anyway. So a conventional door still makes more sense. I don't see the use for this door.

[@Woloverine1]

Toying with the notion of heavy plate glass would look nice...automatic door(s) too

[@Jarochito-]

Even for general use its risky, youre tired or drunk or just plain not paying attention someone can lose a finger or worse

[@dariofigueroa1015]

A genius !!!!

[@jorgeluisviper6842]

amazing...

[@dumindadisa]

can i know the technical method

[@Jeus-h3o]

Just keep the curious toddlers sway from the door

[@ilmelangolo]

Direi che questa cosa raggiunge la ficosità più totale.

[@ethandudley7637]

Yes, yes, very nice... but does it keep the zombies out?

[@JohnDaging]

Hey, why dont you put a knobs at the joint so theres a less risk of getting your fingers stuck

[@th3spy]

How many fingers were harmed in the making of this door?

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Sick

[@the10thleper]

HA HA HA HA LOVE IT! I want one. A+

[@finalbox4416]

I think it would be safer if made out of cardboard/other light material

[@muzzamilist]

What about locking it?

[@KlemensTorggler]

It is always locked, also in the open position- in order to avoid incompetent use!

[@otkroytaynu]

Гильотина?

[@daniela.2349]

But what's the point of having this?

[@Steelandbrass]

Best finger slicing machine, now on sale to all mob bosses for a limited time.

[@jcaeiroo]

how to make this door?como se hace esta puerta?

[@fromAZto09]

How does the top half rise on its own?

[@j4k154]

It is pushed by bottom half falling down, as it is connected by solid sticks.

[@SHNIDER666]

Can you make me one and ship it to merida yucatan??

[@irineuanselmo1766]

Queria saber qual medidas da furações

[@__knight__2121]

How do you open the door on the other side?

[@DB-rz4pr]

your designs are really inspiring, but it's like you hate fingers
