so i have a lever and under the block the lever is on is a red stone wire, when i turn the lever on it gives power to the wire, i connected the wire to under neath a iron door so when i hit the lever the door powers up and opens. but this doesn't work, it works for some other iron doors but not now. why is that?
when i put a red stone torch at the end of the wire underneath the door the wire does not power down the torch but rather the torch powers the wire instead
well i read over it and i figured out the problem kind of, but how can the redstone wire power my other iron doors from underneath? if i can only power things that are in front or below it?
Under the block the door is on make an air block, then next to that air block place any block. Place a torch on the side of the block you just placed. Then run the wire from your lever into that block so the wire is facing it. The torch has to be under the block the door is on.
By default the door will always be open. But since you're using a lever that doesn't really matter.
What happens is a redstone torch is always on by default. The only way to turn one off is to send power to it through powered wire, a lever, button, pressure plate, ect. But that isn't why the torch is important here. The torch will send power to blocks above it. So by having a torch under the block you're wanting to power(the one the door is on) you will actually power it. The redstone wire sends power to the torch(when its powered by the lever), the torch turns off, and the door closes. Turn the lever off, the wire turns off, the torch turns back on, and your door is open.
A block with a torch on the side is typically called an inverter. You're just using it here to send power upwards. If you want it so the door is closed by default add another one somewhere between the first torch mentioned and the lever. But always remember that the wire you're using to give power to the torch(to turn it off) HAS to be facing into the block(On top of it works as well. But its typically easier to just get it pointing at the block). You could also use repeaters to send the power to the block the torch is on to make sure that if the repeater is getting power then the block will. But you don't have to.
I hope this helps. I explained it the best that I can.
I just made this on the pc version, but it works on xbox too.
In the first picture the door setup farthest from the screen is for a door with one lever.
The door setup closest to the screen is for two levers. I posted two angles so you can see how to build it.
the two blocks on the left are your lever inputs while the torch to the right is your output.

EDIT: Didn't notice this was Xbox version, because I clicked it from the front page, so this may help. Probably will.

Edit: it is outdated, but should work... I will look it over.

Edit: my bad for double post.
