welding a door shut effective in real life?

[Zombie Roger]

I always wonder why in the alien universe they need to weld doors shut? I mean I get it so it can’t be pried open but apparently in the second films they never encountered such species before so why what sort of needs did they have previously to weld doors shut? Or was it to open doors on space ships where the bulk head locks shut?

If you weld it shut it can't be override by console.

It's to slow xenos as you make your escape. It can be welded shut to prevent opening without labor involved, or you could weld a door open where it couldn't be closed.

I've wondered this as well, since the xenomorphs don't use door handles or anything to get through doors. You could just disable the automatic open function and it would be about as effective. These aren't grocery store glass sliding doors, they're several inches thick bulkheads and pressure doors. A weld just screws over humans, not aliens.

I rewatched Aliens over the weekend and laughed when they beat down a welded shut door.

No way can any Xeno, smaller than a queen, just Hulk smash thru a door meant to serve as a bulkhead.

Yeah, maybe if they broke themselves and bled all over it but the movies wildly change how the aliens work in just about every installment. It's weird.

At least in Jurassic Park, the raptors were smart enough to figure out lever doorknobs. That made them way more terrifying.

Can we take a second to talk about how they welded motion activated automatic doors.... While being attack by Xenomorphs.

Actually, in the Aliens movie, the alien seems to open the door to get to the cockpit before killing the female pilot, and it's likely it was done through pushing a button.

Aside from that, welding doors were probably also done to quarantine areas xenos had overwhelmed, to prevent any humans from opening the door from the inside and letting the aliens out.

Might wanna rewatch the movie, because they know where and how the mechanism works. You can literally see one put his fingers through the lock mech trying to work it in the Ops scene.

can we also point out that welding something requires more than a cutting torch heating things up? You need to add material, not melt stuff and slap it together.

ALSO, a door that large is a heatsink. A little torch like that is going to AT BEST burn a pit or 2 in it.

I refuse to acknowledge the factual nature of your statement, and choose to continue my strawman argument.

if i remind correctly, in alien ressurection, they prove that they are pretty smart for bugs and can even use push mechanism.

Aliens are strong enough to rip doors open with their claws. i be welding the doors closed if they came after me.
