I'm tearing my hair out trying to add internal doors to my latest MOC.
I have built several staterooms/cabins, but have been unable to come
up with a decent door mechanism.
The doors that Lego makes are not futuristic-looking enough for my
taste. Also, just about all of the ones I have contain windows, which
is counter-productive for internal doors.
Sliding doors take up too much cubic. I have built sliding doors for
two of the cabins, and those work well, but in other cases they would
make it impossible to achieve the layout I want.
Hinged doors (using 1x4 hinged bricks or plates) look very unrealistic
for interior doors - they're great for airlocks, or bank vaults, but
interior doors should be more lightweight. Also, they take up a lot
of extra space in order to make sure they can open and close easily
and they require a wide hallway to open into.
What are some other ideas you have seen or used for addressing this
problem? I'd be interested in any suggestions, or discussion of the
issues.
