I'm trying to rig up some pressure plated double doors so that I can lock them from the inside with a lever or button, so that mobs cannot enter after me.
I have already wired the plates up and synchronized the doors, and I know how to build/use an RS-NOR.
I can't get my head around what to do next to make them lockable, any help from a redstone pro would be appreciated :smile.gif:
Wow, I did not expect this many responses! :biggrin.gif:
Thanks everyone for the tips, I will probably try the AND gate solution first, thanks for the screenshot Nbord :smile.gif:
@Phlack It would be hard to corral that many ducks into the space under my door and keep them there, but they would produce a lot of eggs... Thanks for the diagram :happy.gif:
would work, but i think it's easier and uses less redstone torches if you do it more like this
Yours does work well and takes up a lot less space. It also locks both the inside plates and the outside plates, so that I can still approach the door to kill whatever is following me (My base is very close to a large overhang, mobs are always there :happy.gif:)
Nbord's design works well too, because the inside plates can either ignore the lock, or be lockable too. I'll probably use both designs at different places in my fortress. Thanks for the help everyone! :biggrin.gif:
This is the design that I use. It locks both the inside and outside pressure plates, also it includes a switch that you can use to keep the door open (even when the door is locked). Which is helpful if you lock yourself out somehow, since you can just pop the switch on the other side of the door.
Took me about a month to try and get it as compact as it is now.

door open = plate pressed AND NOT locked
= pressure plate input
= redstone
= redstone torch
= lever
[] = Duck?
= a block
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
[] [] [] []
output for doors is on the top right
