Read the article man, and then think, you work in the CIA, you need to protect all those documents from prying eyes, you put in a secure room with Biometrics to protect the data... There are thousands of applications I can think of, with glass surrounding it. Bullet proof glass comes to mind also, if you are spending $15 large on a carbon door, I am sure you can afford some decent glass to go around it. But the picture could be a sales room (geeze you yanks don't think) do you see beds in a bed shop each in it's own bedroom, this is a sales pic, I am sure you can put any walls next to it, I am sure it can be outside or inside, for $15 large I am sure they thought of all these things.
Americans rely too much on television and can't see outside their houses unless it is explained to them these days. You your imagination, or was it destroyed in the Imagination Wars.
@iEye, get a life, stop trying to upset people
........BUT U R WRONG.....BUCKO.........IT IS BULET PROOF........REMEMBER POLICE VESTS...........ONCE AGAIN......IT IS USED AS AIRLINER'S COCKPIT CREW DOORS.......ENOUGHT SAID.....TW OVER N OUT........

@ Edward:
Hay! I am AMericane nd I doan liek you. I knows I are smartes so you shut face noow. Don' mak asumptions abut me, I only watches 11 hokurs of tv a day an I thik this door is awesum. I'm goana by it and put my tv in et, or "Telly" as you brits cal it.
By the way, if you're going to make assumptions about an entire country, do yourself a favor and keep your closeminded opinions to yourself, jackass. Most of us are smart enough to know that it's a salesroom; no need to start putting nationality into the stupidity factor. For all you know you're calling all Americans names because of the words of a 15-year-old kid.
Anyway... The door's nice too...
So Edward, you're saying I wasn't supposed to buy all of those beds to complete my bedroom!??!??!
@Savs...
I love it, I don't hate Americans, the ones that leave America are pretty kewl...
I did that to show how annoying flames are... and it worked too, cause I am not British, not only did you buy it, but you did it back...
See, I was right about one thing, people that flame on these forums always take it too far.
Thanks for helping me complete my thesis for my University report, I will be submitting for an 'A' now.
Cheers
I guess if you were silly-rich you could use this door to protect the room that the THX door is opening. Kinda like those double doors between hotel rooms :P
Meh, I saw how "I Am Legend" ended with the whole biometric door thing, I'll pass...
You keep a supply of hand grenades in your THX-certified theatre room?
Bitchin.
You mean you don't? :|
Manufacturing cost: $500
THX certificate of compliance: $14,500
Having George Lucas laugh as he lights his cigars with your $100 bills: Priceless
@Artie, At least read it... Rather spend 2 Large on THX door than $15 on this one, two separate things they are talking about.
A THX door is and could not be covered in Carbon as Carbon would reflect sound... THX doors need to soak it in... Read the article, stop, scratch (don't tell me where) and read it again, then comment.
Must be another American
All aboard the low-boat...
Au contraire - je suis francais! Touche!
NO no no. You guys don't get it. Both doors are used for the entrance to Control. The THX door as the inner most door because it will make that cool THX sound as you are descending into the phone booth.
ill use this as an entry to my backyard with money trees.
I thought that was quite funny, actually.
carbon fiber cracks very very easily when cold. on can of compressed air or something else cold and the door splits right open
That must be why all those airplanes fall out of the sky when they fly up oh so high. Or do they wrap the Dreamliner and F-22 in cardigans before they take off? Stuff hot water bottles in the cockpit?
I'd be interested if it made a depressurization noise when it unlocked.
It'd be interested if you could make it into a slide door version with industrial class servos that opens and closes at frantic speeds when an unauthorized individual approaches. Should be sufficiently intimidating to discourage any further intrusion attempts. But just to be sure, have a mop ready.
Genius!
$15,000 security door adjacent to glass walls. Do you think they'll try to punch throw the carbon fiber or just through a brick at the glass?
Dear 'tard,
Have you ever head of a demo unit?
Sincerely,
someone who has a clue..
Very nice, too bad it costs $15,000.
No Star Trek wooooosh door noise? Sorry that's a deal killer for me and my $15,000. Maybe in Door 2.0.
I'd buy it!!! But only if they'd rename it to "Farbon Ciber"...
The possibilities for this are endless
It would make a swell picnic table
a kitchen island countertop
a bmx bike jump
roof for your deer stand
a nice centerpiece for your 2001: A space Odyssey Diorama
a toboggan you could hand down to future generations.
Say, when is a door not a door?
....when it's ajar.
G'nite everybody!
