So, I'm trying to upgrade the door to my grow room with something light proof but the only thing that works with my space is one of these doors that opens to the side:

Except this one doesn't ship internationally to me (in Israel) and it's also too wide but I'll take what I can get.

Anyone know any other products like this?

Thanks.

There are many out there. Here's my mn tent. https://www.amazon.ca/VIVOSUN-Hydro...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6F40RT6HAR0VEJXNMT6G I don't know if they ship to Israel. Amazon.com doesn't ship here, but amazon.ca does. There are a lot of tents that open side ways. Just put your dimensions (what you want) and there are a TON of them out there on e-bay, or google Hope this helps

Yeah, but see I need just the door. The whole tent is expensive and useless to me.

If this is for building a semi permanent (wood frame) room, you might consider a pocket door.

I don't really see how I would make it lightproof, though.

I would buy the whole tent and use a knife or paramedic scissors to cut the door for my use and maybe even use the 3 other sides to quadruple the thickness of my door by cutting to form and epoxy it all together into a thick door.

You want one of these, but not attached to clear plastic, attach it to black plastic.
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-7-ft-Clear-Tarp-Zipper-Door-3142/206526231
There is a brand called Adhesive Zipper Door that comes premade, and is designed for marijuana growing light deprivation. You can order them from https://greenenvysupply.com/product/portable-door-with-zippers/
If they won't ship to you, I recommend DIY if you can find something like https://www.growerssolution.com/PROD/greenhouse-adhesive-zipper-door-zip-up/ZipUp or that homedepot link you can easily combine that with a sheet of black plastic to put a door any place at all.

Thanks for the reply.

The first zipper is white and it's $10, so it's not as good as this one I found:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074LFTC6P/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

But they won't ship to me.

The second is nice but I'd rather have a door that opens sideways because of the way my room is constructed.

They also won't ship to me.

The third one ships to me but they charge $51 for one zipper..

Honestly, if I could just find the zipper from Amazon I linked above at a place that will ship to me, I'd get it and try to tape it sideways.

There must be a local hardware store you can go to for a tarp zipper door? Or hell even a sewing place to get a normal heavy duty coat zipper?

Not a difficult task, really.

I mean...
Zippers can be light proofed.
Do something similar.
My grow room door had a 1-1/2 inch gap at the bottom that I managed to light proof with a little bit of panda plastic & some duct tape. The gap served as a passive intake as well.

I'm with the zipper folk... if you take your time and stick it up there carefully you might be able to curve it so it opens like the door you pictured in the first post..... draw out the opening shape you want then follow it with the zipper
