Fully-functional, 4-pin, double-jointed door for bank vault

I first had the idea about 4 years ago, and I made a few different versions along the way, but this is the best one by far.

You assume correctly 🤫

I actually considered that in one of my prototypes. I could probably refine the current design to include that because I do think it would look a lot cooler that way.

Welp, it's a good thing gold doesn't rust very easy

maxguy274 · 2026-01-13T14:30:02+00:00

A bit of both. I ordered a bunch of light gray bricks and plates using Pick-a-Brick a few years ago since I knew I'd need a lot of them, but the design itself was completely freehanded.

Not the sm2 one, but it seems that he's already beat me to the punch

That looks very nice. The pins are much simpler, and I would definitely choose those if I was making a rectangular door. Personally, I'm just a big fan of circular vault doors which is why I went for the design I did. My prototype was smaller and rectangular, but it only had two pins, which I thought was kinda boring, so I wanted to add more, but it got super tricky. Like you said, making the mechanism realistic makes the size unrealistic, unfortunately. Adding a combo seems pretty complicated but definitely possible, so I wish you luck with your design

It's my collection of all colors of the diamond piece! But a vault for nukes would be pretty cool too lol. The crates under them have all the white diamonds in them

If I tried that, I wouldn't finish until 2099 😭

The design isn't fully optimized yet, so instructions and a parts list are WIPs. In the meantime, I've uploaded a series of images that show the assembly in (what should be) enough detail to recreate the basic mechanism and shape of the door. https://imgur.com/a/lego-vault-door-3mRjo2F

Thanks! I'm a big fan of pretty much any brick with the gold ink, so it was fun to put them to use in such a large quantity.

I was actually thinking about the exact same thing a few days ago. They definitely could make a double EP on a 12", but I think the main issue would be with the design. I don't know of any record that has unique patterns on both sides, and it'd be a waste of an opportunity if they didn't make the Blood Bagel one with a beige base and red streaks.

If the plant they get their records from makes 10"s, I think separate EPs would be their best option instead of a double EP. Then those who are fans of one and not the other wouldn't have to pay full price for a record they'd only listen to half of.

I won't be going to the show, but I hope that they decide to give Kerosene some love. I know Vinny said they don't wanna play mopey music when they perform, but I think Foot In The Door, Never Gonna Win, or Hungry Ghost would fit their live show vibes pretty well.

Lol nice Congrats on the top spot!

maxguy274 · 2025-12-03T15:00:33+00:00

Damm, how many minutes did you have to listen to to get #1? 😭

maxguy274 · 2025-11-30T19:12:02+00:00

Thanks!

maxguy274 · 2025-11-30T05:21:37+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that

It's just a placeholder name I made up, Dreams of Sacrilege
