How do you make a working door?

How do you make a working door?

Hi all

I'm about to start work on a couple of scenery projects that I would ideally like to have working doors on. (Rather than the clip in/slide out doors I use at the moment see below)


I'm after some inspiration so how do you do yours? What have you tried? and what doesn't work for you?

Thanks for looking

P.s Pics would be appreciated.

There's an old thread on door hinges here:

My new way to make doors that open is using rare earth magnets. I have been doing it to laser cut buildings. Just drill and glue a magnet where you would put a hinge. What I love about it is you can pull the door out if you want to have a "destroyed" door. Also I find it easier to assemble than a hinge. I can take pictures of the ones I have done if you are interested.
