Super compact piston door with button and pressure plate

By Emma Johnson

Is there a super compact design (or what's the most compact design) for a piston door which should have a button on one side like this:

and a pressure plate on the other side:

?

I have tried a lot of configuration and still trying but I can't get it. Any idea?

PS: If 2 buttons would make it more compact than I can go for it. I need to use it for a house so I need it to be the more compact that I can get. Consider that I need that house to have flat walls this means that if the piston wiring takes horizontally 3 blocks then I need to make 2 3 block spaced walls. Thanks.

If you're willing to put the button on the bottom block, this isn't too hard. Try something like this:

Here's another shot from the top:

And here's one from the back:

When either the button is pressed or someone stands on the pressure plate, the door will open.

If you want the button to be at eye level, you can make a minor modification, as suggested in the comments:

This will allow you to move the button up one block, at the cost of two repeaters. Keep in mind that this will add a (very) small delay to the circuit, but considering it's a button, this might even be an advantage.

I made my own design and it fits completely between a 3 wide wall.

Hope this helps, it fits completely inside a 3 wide wall.

This is a piston door that I know how to make. It's fairly compact. It takes a 4-wide by 3-deep by 6-tall space half of the door for a one-way door, so a two-way, 3x2 piston door takes up a total space of 8x5x6.
