Mounting that crazy thing to the door was a bit challenging… I used a bunch of those velcro-ish removable wall adhesive things from wal-mart. They didn’t work out that great, but held everything together for the most part! I helped out a friend with another design this year using a motor on a bracket that hangs over the door (just a piece of bent aluminum). This design is much more robust! The motor pulls a metal wire that is attached to the door handle. His design doesn’t actually pull the door open, but it is extremely reliable. Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

Im trying to do the same thing, but how were you able to mount it onto the door without drilling holes into it? I was thinking velcro. How did you do it? Any other ideas?

You should add facial-recognition so it opens automatically when you walk up (but only for certain people) combined with a spoken password. Hello Mr. Bond.
