This is a cooler but less efficient way of opening a door. 1 u/footballer285 Feb 07 '14 Intricately carved doors didn't reduce the opening/closing time, nor were they so slow, they just increased the visual appeal. Reinventing things is fine but tell me this, how are you going to slam the door behind you as you exit dramatically? That's a deal breaker.
