So, I scored a revolving darkroom door for...

Cool, let’s see some photos once you get the door installed.

I might add that I was also able to get 9 mint 4x5 Rightway film holders for 10 dollars each. Friend of the owners of the store I got the door from passed away and they wanted them to go to good home.

Will do. Be a few weeks, gotta go pick it up. About 110 miles away.

Wonderfull

I never found one

A labyrinth is nice too

Worked with these for 25 years on the back of motion picture processing machines. Very useful if you have the room to install.

I got the room. It is for my purpose built darkroom. Just have to take apart and lift over my desk in the front "office" to put in opening. Good thing I got 10 foot ceilings!

I have never installed one, but did take one out. Get some good help. They are not particularly heavy but very cumbersome.

Mine took two full days to install (years ago). When it was removed, it was mishandled and was "bent" up a bit and totally out of alignment. But in the end it was totally worth it.

One of my clients had a darkroom/ studio space in the old Ives uptown Charlotte, NC store and that darkroom had a nice revolving door, however, I found it a bit unnerving because your focused on developing or printmaking and, silently, somebody else is in the room.

I suggest new owners install a set of sleigh beers be installed to give you a warning.

Nothing would suck more than a darkroom session that finds a home invader suddenly standing there.

It must have been a well greased door or far away from the work area because our doors were quite noisy when operating.

Anyway, a good idea for home use. Maybe even a cheap baby monitor camera on the outside with ruby lith over the interior screen to see what is going on just outside the door...

Nice idea!

Let's put it this way, I am a Marine, Body builder and a former Sheriff's Deputy, it would really suck for them! :) I also happen to be a large format photographer :)

Good idea. My neighborhood we can still leave the windows and doors open. My neighbors call me if they see something strange going on.

Anyone charging through a revolving darkroom door would have about 30 seconds to "get their eyes", even with fairly bright safe lights.

Plenty of time to greet them properly...

[Steven Ruttenberg]

Yep! :). Marine and Deputy here. Wife was in the Army.

Light Maze works very well, but takes up space

However better still air, less dust movement

My Art College had one
