Nice post. There' far too many people that use these "traps" as ultimate commit gates, however the improvements suggested (i.e. Traps v2, v3, v4) share the same design flaw.

"Take 3: Seriously, people, this is all you really need to change. Admittedly, the price to break it will never be a $2400 crowbar, but still, a $400 saw is more than the $340 cost of build (not counting the walls) and far better than ONE FREAKING WATER."

Actually the cost of bypassing this is $200 (i.e. doorstep)
200<$340 cost of build (not counting the walls)

Here's a "guessing game" design that would be a bit more expensive (and time-consuming) to guess/bruteforce

Basically, a step in any direction other than forward, would close up to 6 nearest doors.
