Adobe Trapdoor — Detailed Guide
An adobe lid for a hatchframe
The Adobe Trapdoor closes a hatch opening in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game's line: "This adobe slab can be used to secure hatches." As a trapdoor, it locks off the way into a structure and keeps the elements out. Locked, it restricts who can enter, while you and your tribemates keep a way through.
Placing it
It fits only into a Hatchframe. According to the ARK Wiki, a trapdoor has no effect on a house's insulation, whether it stands open, is closed or is missing altogether.
Crafting and carrying
The engram requires level 16 and 6 engram points, and the trapdoor is crafted in the inventory. Each one takes 3 seconds, gives 3.4 XP and costs:
- 20
Clay - 10
Wood (or 
Fungal Wood) - 7
Thatch - 5
Fiber
A trapdoor weighs 4, and up to 100 fit in one stack, which then weighs 400.
Maps and loot
The trapdoor came with Scorched Earth, in patch 246.0 according to the wiki, which also lists it on Fjordur, Valguero, Ragnarok, Crystal Isles, Lost Island and Genesis: Part 2. Our records count 50 crate types that can contain it, such as the Genesis Blue, Cyan, Green and Red crates on Genesis Part 2.
