Ok, seriously now, Motts you have someone outside the door at all times, right? Wouldn't want you getting trapped in there... Although most artists aren't really appreciated until they're dead...

I try to be careful with doors and such, I haven't had the pleasure of being locked in somewhere but it's happened to two friends of mine, not a good situation. These rooms needed to be locked from the outside with a key.

when i was i child i was once traped in a room of an abandoned house cuz the door felt into its lock. but i made my way out through the wall, which was made by decayed brick and laom/straw, was pretty easy to dig the way out through that wall. *LoL*

as kid i explored many abandoned houses and even one abandoned hospital. hehe kids big time. =)

Where I was never 'trapped', I did find my myself in a basement once, where a couple steps broke on the way down. To make matters worse, there was nothing down there, but some soggy newspapers and a Marvin Gaye album cover. I carefully found my way up, but it was and is scary doing this alone. I would wager that 90% of the buildings I was in, I was alone.

It looks so different from this side, and not so pleasant for sure.

I was thinking the same thing, I wouldn't risk getting locked in a super-secure room in an abandoned hospital...but then again, I wouldn't go one tenth of the places Mr. Motts goes, so the question is moot!
Puddleboy...I'm taking a guess how you got your name! If I was trapped in a basement amid soggy newspapers and a Marvin Gay album, I might make a puddle too!
Chipy's story is the stuff of nightmares, IMO. There's weird junk in old houses, like Asbestos. But when you're a kid, you do crazy things...

this room couldn't be too "secure" -- the hinges are exposed on the inside of this room.
The state mental hospital I worked at didn't have any hinges exposed on either inside or outside of doors that were patient accessible.

This shot makes me feel claustrophobic. I literally had to gasp for breath a little. I can't imagine being so closed in, with nothing to do except stare at those four desolate walls.

were the doors metal? it looks kind of like wood to me, which would defeat the purpose of the bars...

Yes, all the doors in these secure wards were constructed out of metal.

I can't imagine a worst scenario than being locked in a room, alone, in an abandoned building, without a cell phone. In the summer you could die from hyperthermia. In the winter there's hypothermia. After the batteries in your flashlight died the cockroaches would be free to roam all over your ass after the sun goes down. But that's a moot point because you would die of dehydration from the lack of water in about a week or two.
