# Door Mechanic

Nexo lets you make a furniture that will act as a door.\
You can also specify a few extra options for additional behaviour:

**toggle\_hitbox\_on\_open** - Changes the hitbox from barriers to interactions when opened\
**open\_sound -** The sound to play when opening the door\
**close\_sound -** The sound to play when closing the door\
**open\_properties - T**he same as [Furniture Properties](https://docs.nexomc.com/mechanics/furniture-mechanic/..#furniture-properties), but only applied in open-state\
**is\_sliding -** If the door is sliding type or normal type\
**automatic\_close\_delay -** A duration of time before the door will close when opened (1t, 2s, 3m, etc...)\
**delay\_hitbox\_toggle -** If the swap to non-solid hitbox should be delayed until door is fully opened

There is also a new **delay-property** which defines the "time to open" for the door.\
If left unspecified, the door immediatly changes state

There is also two types of doors, normal and sliding. A sliding door opens by applying the open\_properties transformations, whilst a normal door applies a rotation
