Homes are meant to be shelters from the hazards of the outdoors; however, they can only withstand a certain level of hazard, but the 'Quick-Shelter Door' provides owners a chance at saving themselves during natural disasters such as earthquakes. It can fold vertically in half when one cannot find themselves into another shelter.
The door has a red latch in the middle that need only be pulled for the top half of the door to fold over into a strong tent under which one can crawl for cover. The 'Quick-Shelter' door may not look like the most fashionable addition to a home, but it definitely is among the most convenient. Plus, safety should always be first.
