Write problem/project Goal
to make a functioning knock knock replica.

My First Task
I will be gathering information and ideas for the clamp that will actually unlock the door. Coming up with a list of possible materials that can be used to create a clamp for our knock knock. Found an excellent website for reference http://www.instructables.com/id/Secret-Knock-Detecting-Door-Lock/#step1

Summary of actual work over first weekend
We began the assembly of the actual knock knock device beginning with the laser printer gears. We have attached a screw to the turning gear in preparation of attaching the gear to that actual bolt that locks the door.

Week1 Narrative
created sketches for possible attachment to printer gears that will rotate the bolt.

My Second Task
working on assembly of knock knock device.

My Third task
I will be working on the mounting device for our knock knock to mount onto the door. I mainly want to focus on making it accessible and easy to mount and remove.



I purchased these suction cups with the hooks so that we can attach the knock knock device to a door. I have done a few sketches of how to arrange the hooks on the actual device so that it will hold up the device i think that if we set the hooks in a triangular set up it will evenly distribute the weight so that it will hold up the knock knock device. As a back up plan if this does not work we can always use three individual c clamps to hold up the device on the door frame.

My Fourth task
Came up with a final design for the mounting of the printing gears onto the door. Will be mounting the device onto the door tomorrow to begin testing device.

Week4 Narrative
I replaced the deadbolt on the door piece that we will use to test the knock knock device. The wooden hole on the door had to be widened. The new deadbolt was installed. At this point in time we are ready to mount the knock knock device on this piece of door to test out the device. Updated team page with step by step process of what was done during project and how to step by step assemble the knock knock device.

Fill out the Team Form (should have already copied the form, created the team page, linked to it and started filling it out).
