This may seem like something very simple to most of you. I'm mediocre at best with redstone. The thing that stumps me the most with it is double iron doors. How do I wire up 2 iron doors to a lever on both sides of the wall? (so i can open and close it on either side)
Does anybody have a video guide, or able to explain it on my forum post? If so the help is much appreciated.
Heres one of my older videos (Sorry for sound quality all of my newer ones have HD audio) its a basic Idea but if your new it will be very simple to make
(Yes I call it an AND gate/switch get over it I had them mixed up xD)
not single iron door... double iron, 2 side by side. one lever to open both.
In Quadrman1's video, you will learn how to make an XOR gate. Just split the output into two: 1 goes in the first iron door and 1 goes in the
second iron door.
That doesn't have an XOR gate. It can only be used from one side. If you use one lever to open it, the other lever can't close it.

I built this, but it doesn't open both doors at the same time. it controls both doors. But not at the same time. had repeaters and torches just like the pictures. one door would open, other would stay closed. flick lever, other door opens and closes.
Is using a lever critical in your design? It seems to me that a button with a redstone wire leading underneath the doors would be simpler as a button is only ON temporarily vs a lever which must be actively turned off.
Then just place a button or pressure plate on the other side of the door that connects to the same wire. With the door open temporarily closing will happen automatically.
Granted, the length of time that a button is active is at times annoyingly short.
I am apparently making it wrong. Screen shots make it tough to see where you have the wires connecting so maybe i put something in the wrong spot.
Based on what you are saying, I have to ask: What version of minecraft are you running? If you are running an older version or the xbox version, then the door needs one side to be opposite to the other. This was changed after 1.0(1.1 I think) to make wiring them up much simpler.

In Open State
In Closed state
The Restone
With lever
You can always invert the signal so the lever lines up (as in up closed and down open)

I have it now
The redstone
Front of the XOR gate
The torches lead to the doors and the repeater is the output from the XOR gate
A little diagram
When the leavers are the same the doors open and when they are opposite its closed
This should be it
i could send the map download so you could see it

You can make a pretty small T Flip Flop if you look around for designs.
