Acoustic Isolation Door Latch and Leverset

Detail of the latch and edge of the isolation acoustic door. We laminated the acoustic doors from scratch with 5 layers of MDF damped with Green Glue and bonded with polyurethane glue. The outer frame of the door is laminated poplar using floating tenon joinery for maximum strength and stability. The door is 2 1/4″ thick requiring both specialized hinges and a custom leverset. The weight, feel and sound of the door is perfectly satisfying. The door weighs enough to stop sound, but it’s light enough to be easily moved by two people.
