Also this will help me for making a water lock I wanted to make. Because I want some big doors made of small doors. Now can you figure out how to make an elevator I have been trying for 12 days now. I can make an elevator go up but it wont go down.

I made an elevator, but indeed going down is a pain in the ass with pistons, but to power them in the correct order I used some sort of memory-cell which makes is it a lot easier to move the pistons in the correct order.

On-topic: It is indeed very compact, only you could go one less deep by placing a torch on the side of a block. But the part above ground is indeed quit clever, at first when I saw it I feared that the two on top would react slower than the bottom one. But they all three seem to move at once.

I made a door 15 blocks high. Then it evolved into a trap where you go in a hallway and these doors close then the walls open up to lava. The issue is the pisons do not go back down after they are moved up.

For me even a piston that is off on top of another piston will go up then stay there.

Is it possible to make this so that it can be opened and closed from either side with levers instead of pressure plates? I tried replacing the plates with levers but once one side is toggled, the other side has no effect on the door.
