Put a carton of water above the door. Make sure the container isn't something that will injure your subjects. A waxed cardboard container is perfect. When someone opens the door, they'll get a bath!

Try loosening screws. For screw type hinges, you can loosen the screws enough so the door sags when it's opened. Your subjects will figure the old house needs an overhaul and go running for the tool box.

"Red" a door. Install a sheet of tinted cellophane (something that will come off easily) on a glass door and arrange lights so that the room takes on a reddish sheen. Your subjects will walk in to find themselves in the middle of a fake sunset.
