Introduction: Door Strap
Problem:
The door at techshop chandler has an acrylic lock open device which breaks now and then or gets knocked off sometimes
Solution:
Make a door strap that keeps the door unlocked during business hours, doesn't break or get knocked off
Materials:
seat belt webbing
webbing buckle
Tools:
sewing maching
fire (fire not bad, fire good)
scissors
Step 1:
go to your local fabric supply store, I went to tempe sales
buckle costs $1.50
I choose a buckle with a name on it , assuming name = higher quality
Step 2:
buy webbing
$20 for 100 meters
you can get it for $10 each if you buy five rolls
this is the exact same material used for seat belts
Step 3:
checking out
Step 4:
cut the webbing and burn edge with a match/fire to get a clean edge
I cut about two feet off
Step 5:
stitch the buckle on, I used a military stitch
Step 6:
finished product
Step 7:
the end product in action
I made it at TechShop
