But there isn’t a ‘less than mundane babble’ forum
I went into the bank to pay in a cheque. On the way in, no problem. Waiting in the queue: only a problem due to the customer in front of me being utterly incompetent. Such is life, such are people.
On the way out of the bank you have to push the button to get the door to open. If you just pull the door it doesn’t move. If you pull it really hard you can shake the frame and get a noise to sound but it doesn’t actually open.
The concern? How does an inanimate door know when someone is pushing it from the outside and when someone is pulling it from the inside? To the door the motions must be pretty similar, so I don’t know how it can consistently decide to only accept motive force from one direction.
There’s probably a really simple explanation. Pixies or suchlike. Wombats.
I did for a while consider changing my name here to mooseisatthedoor but I’d have to start again from 0 posts and I’ve only just got to the big 1-0(00).
So, if the door is being moved but there’s nothing large enough on the motion sensor for it to be a customer the door stays shut?
I wonder, can I use a dog to test out this theory?
I could walk right up the door, stop so that the motion sensors don’t pick me up, then try to open the door without moving quickly.
I still don’t see the relevance of one-way glass, unless Imp means that one-way glass is a similarly inanimate thing that somehow knows what it is meant to be doing.
As someone from the outside goes toward the door, they break the laser circuit with their knee, which triggers the door to unlock. Next time you are there take a quick look around the frame for something that could be used to send a small beam to a reciever.
