A few epiphanies and a trip to Lowe’s and I’m ready to go. I ended up using a couple of 3 inch-long 1/4″ bolts, and a bunch of washers and nuts. The flat metal plate is actually the plate that sits on your door frame that the knob latches onto. It’s called a “lip strike” and works really well in this sort of application. The screw holes are just the right size (1/4″ at least) and are equidistant from the larger hole in the middle. Another hex nut and a bigass fender washer (1/2″ hole, 1.5″ diameter) secures the whole thing to the mounting plate for my Fig Rig. Test videos coming soon! Now I need to get some Anaglyphic glasses so I can start figuring out how to prep the video for 3D-ization. I’ll have to make a trip to a party store or something tomorrow.
