A more compact version of my piston ground door found here: Piston Ground Door v1 Please check it out for more information on this device.

The main difference of this version is the use of slab ladders in place of blocks to power the doors and a smaller Length and height. I shortened the length of the stairs, moved the inside pressure plates closer to the door, then I moved the T Flip-Flop closer to those pressure plates and moved it's power source up by 1 block. Then I was able to move the locking mechanism closer, rotate it and shorten it and use torches in places of blocks to save space.

The staircase is hidden underground. The glass is only there for the user to see though. It woud normally be replaced with whatever you're building your underground base out of or dirt/stone.

Yeah, you can see the first pair of steps. You could put a block there instead but that wouldn't be ideal. The only way I can think of off the top of my head would be to raise the doors up by one. I wanted this version to be flush with the floor. I could probably come up with something though. I'll work on it.

why so much redstone for just a simple task?

The T Flip-Flop makes the pressure pads act like levers. This way the doors don't close on you and suffocate you. I chose pressure pads because I don't like levers placed on the ground and I didn't like the placement of the block it would have to sit on. Also, this allows you to just keep walking and have the door open quickly.

The locking mechanism is there to prevent mobs/other players from opening the doors while you're home and attacking you/annoying you.

If you can make it use less redstone while still using pressure pads that act as levers and a locking mechanism while either using the same or less space, please share. I'd be interested in seeing it. Feel free to use the schematic I provided.

I made one that is slightly small and more compact. I did use a t-flipflop but i made it with a mono stable system :) if you want to see click here.

Either way, yours has taught me a few things. It never crossed my mind that to use dust and repeaters in an alternating pattern to allow to signals to travel concurrently. I think mostly cause when I was building it, I wanted the doors to open as quickly as possible and I was thinking about the initial delay a repeater gives.

EDIT: I am having issues with the bottom pressure pads. I have the doors
unlocked and closed and when I step on the pressure pads, the piston that holds the sand up fire rapidly and doesn't pull the gold block back down. Probably just a timing issue.

Oh nice. I'll have to look at it more. Go ahead and upload it here (if you want) and link back to mine. I was hoping someone would take what I made and either improve it or make something new from it.
