Doors, gates, windows and more – including all kind of door movements like open, close, slam, unlock and many more
Recorded at an old WWII-era bunker just outside Halifax, Nova Scotia, now derelict and covered in rust.
These recordings were a happy accident, discovered on the way to record something else. This large, heavy steel door has been rusting since wartime, and when I noticed it I immediately knew it would have a unique sonic character. When moved, it produces interesting almost musical tones, rich with harmonics and ripe for processing.
This library includes a variety of sounds generated by interacting with the door in different ways (scraping, punching, and moving at various speeds).
This is a metal dumpster door with a really emotive creak. It’s pretty heavy sounding on it’s own but you’ll notice in the demo, as each sound plays, a one octave lower version of the same sound plays immediately after to show how well these pitch. The last slam is two octaves below the original.
Awesome source material for designing larger doors, creepy atmospheres and dramatic booms.

A selection of creaks, doors and window sounds from two very different properties.
Doors & Windows: comprises a selection of effects from two very different dwellings in Edinburgh, Scotland. The first, a solid Victorian villa in the Morningside district: wooden shutters on a large sash window and a variety of solid wooden doors opening and closing. 32effects at 96/24. The second, a run-down apartment at the top of a tenement building on the wrong side of town: flimsy doors, creaking as they open, an old-fashioned bell pull, a letterbox flap and a front door with a creak that wouldn’t be out of place in a haunted mansion. 22 effects at 48/24.
There are a lot of door sound libraries but I was missing the key sounds with variations on a project two years ago. After that, I started specifically recording key and lock sounds whenever I heared an interesting door or lid. I tried to capture the four most common performances (put the key in, remove the key, open the lock and close the lock) each at different speed (slow, medium, fast). This is a selection from these recordings. Some are captured in 192kHz with Earthworks QTC 50 to capture high frequencies, waiting to be pitched down several octaves and still remaining crispy.
There are little locks from piggy banks and caskets, wooden cabinets, metal lockers, appartment doors with plastic keys, locks on regular homes and much more.
In addition I added a few key drops on different surfaces (mats, parquet flooring, tiles, concrete…) and jingles.
Get a total of 180 sounds of the best sounding locks you can imagine. With 60 original source sounds placed in Dry, Small Room and Large Room environments, there’s no need for further processing with these carefully crafted locks from the sound designers at Rumble Studios. Divided into Common, Mechanical & Futuristic locks, each sound is unique and meta tagged for Soundminer so you can find them easily.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
