Does anyone have a screen pass through drying cabinet?

We are looking into either purchasing or making one. Was wondering if anyone has one, and can post pics or info about it?

Our wet room is adjacent to our dark room. Our screens are moved on bread racks.
We thought about carving a door there and making the (self built) drying cabinet on one side or the other. wet room --> entrance door to dryer --> dry --> exit door in darkroom.

I'm not sure why we didn't do that, now.
would have required moving stuff in both rooms around (large steel, angled top table in wet room - semi auto wall mount coater in dark room). Floor heights a couple of inches different.

maybe it would have been worth the additional effort. But we just wheel the rack 15' further into our one entrance/exit dryer.
REALLY would have been worth the effort if you want to put more than one rack in at a time and not bury the oldest one.

Douthitt makes super nice ones. Clear restaurant style doors so you can see at a glance what you got going on.

We made a sort of pass-through on our last move, more like an "off to the side between washout and drying".
Actual pass-through would have required major demo and moving water lines.

It's worked wonders for us. I'll also go so far as to say to dry vertically if you can.

The Douthitt ones are deluxe.

I always thought the panels of a used walk in freezer would do well for building a pass thru affordably.

I'll add that I should have made pass thru s at our shop- too tight and annoying to move carts through each stage as originally planned.
