apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

ummmm what's the point? if it's security, people can break a window.

i thought this was APARTMENT therapy.

this looks like the monolith in 2001 a space odyssey.

Nice....the fancy door will distract would be buglers from noticing that all they have to do is break the glass to gain entry.

Biometric fingerprint scanners also require a contract with a company to keep all users and prints on file. They're also tricky and temperamental. (I use one at work to access my pc).
Not a good idea. Save your pennies for retinal scanning!!! j/k

"Welcome" your guests? With a fingerprint scan?!?

I am so confused by the geography. Are the 2 pictures of the full door from the inside or the outside of the apartment? If it's from the inside, whose kitchen is that? If it's from the outside, why does the door swing out? Where am I?

Cool door, though.

If I were going to spend $15,000 on a door (or several doors), I'd get these glowing red and green doors that tell you when the door is either locked or unlocked:

Or perhaps a Wile E. Coyote door that only opens as far as it needs to to let you through (the ultimate in door laziness), like this one: http://www.architecturalclassics.com/blog/beyond-door-thousand-3-wile-e-coyote-door/
