Still wouldn't mind one though! Yeah I agree

Why would somebody actually want to go through a door like this? It might be "cool" once I suppose. Specialized and limited uses such as doors inside of a hotel suite might be one of the few places I could imagine it in use. That said, the entry of a box shown in the video was interesting. This is a great idea for a pet door or otherwise restricted entry system.
