Carding +

I found a way of extending the usefulness of carding, and I thought you lot might like it.

Basically, a notch is cut into the card, big enough to fit around the bolt of the door. Then you simply card like normal, but pull rather than push. This lets you card doors that open towards you rather than away from you, but other than that all of the other constraints of carding do apply.

Nice, I will have to try that. Have you tested it before?

I've tried it on my own doors and it worked fine. I actually came up with it because my doors could only be carded from one side, as there's a piece of wood that prevents access to the bolt from the other side.

Whoah, I just tried it and it works perfectly. I can't card my door normally, there's a wooden stop preventing that. It works great using your design. Thank you! This is really damn clever.
