Thread: Asylum door

Tweet

Since I joined the forum last year,I read the 347,894 pages on the asylum door thread, I liked everything I read,and with the reverse engineering created with the effort of a lot of members,we can build one very cheap( compared with the price on the original one seen in Transworld).But where can one install this door and everybody can see the whole show?
I decided to make a double door as the entrance of the haunt,after the show is played,they can enter in small groups(3 to 4,)because my haunt is not fully automatic controlled(I have to controll the props while they move in the haunt maze).
Since I've been out of a good job,I have to keep the costs really low,save money,live better(Walma..).
I had 2 old 24"inside doors,an old futton bed,and a new 32"led TV, that my boys got for Cristmas for their room.I played with the dvd player and reduced the screen to 24"diagonally measured,to fit the Hirez design recommended size.(I got the dvd's with a coupon,Nurse Escape and Axe Killer for $90).
Here is the construction:

The wood from the futton bed,two 24"old doors.

And 2 2"X4" to build the frame.

I had to enlarge the door to acomodate the 32"led TV and the axe hits,to 36" wide.

Axe hits.

On the back,I had to cut to fit the 32"led tv.

I used wood filler to cover the differences with the door and the sides of the bed,used to widen the door.

To build the axes,I used 3/8"copper tube,easy to bend,and secure it to a piece of aluminum,with plastic wall anchors glued with JB weld.

Attached to the cylinder,Is a 10 x 45mm,small but effective.Last year i build a ground crawler with these ones,and moved the 2"x4" without any problems.

I tested the looks on the spandex streched!!!!!!!!!!

I painted the doors with a cream semi-gloss latex color that I have leftover from the house.
Then I applied the spandex to the doors,I stapled one side,then strched and stapled the opposite side,then the top and finally the botton.Since I want the same effect on both doors when finished,they have to look the same.
