Assuming the robber has scouted you to the point of the trap, powered door as a commit gate, no matter how you put it, requires only a doorstop.  The trap door is far more effective for commit gates because it will always require that you cut/blast around it or use a ladder.

Here is a random idea that may work.  I'm not sure if this is quite right with the clock on/off step but, you can prevent a robber from using a doorstop by making it expensive this way

If you made the dog harder to kill, the clock would prevent them from using a doorstop unless they use a ladder+water.  If correct, the trapdoor activates as you step on to it.  Power goes off once you step on the electric floor, but the dog would hit the button making the power turn on permanently on the next turn.  This is not much more expensive to bypass than just a trap door, but if you do not invest the ladder before the commit, backtracking is much more expensive, requiring explosives or a crowbar and a ladder.

That was me. I meant to dance back again, but accidentally pressed forward instead.

That was my house, just playing around.   It was the original house I used to use to entice big bounty transfer between alts, to help show Jason there was large bounty transfers going on between alts.  You could move huge amounts safely in this house cause it killed someone that didn't want to bring a ladder, or a revolver or both.  Here is proof that it was mine.  Your layout isn't exactly right.  I was going to extend it, and make another real money contest out of this house but, now that someone has posted it without my permission I guess back to the drawing board :

That was the reason why I didn't post the actual blueprint, only the idea. I am sorry, but this idea was by far the best I come through a long time. I was like: What the fuck?! That easy? Wait, there is something wrong with this commit!

No big deal.  I knew that one wouldn't last long.  I was gonna drum up enough money to move the vault out of sight.  You think that one is sneaky you should see the one blip brute forced.  He blew right by the tricky parts of my house with brute force, no one I've shown the map to can figure out how to solve even with the map to look at.

Its crazy.

One of the most honored people in this game quit because of fast raising multiaccount creepers.

And some wrote "oh no not the account abuse is the problem"

Being locked out of the house means you can't play the game, no matter what your goal is..
And I think it's pretty serious. I'm sure everyone here will complain if they can't get into their house all day.
It's frustrating and happens whether or not people have multiple accounts or not. Imagine 5 individual people with single accounts all trying to break your house. You'd have to somehow click faster than 4 of them.
