Deserted Tunnels - Level 5 - door closing too fast

I'm having trouble with the timed door on level 5. It is closing too fast for me and I was wondering if it may be an iPad issue as I remember being able to solve this puzzle in the PC version. I'm running on an iPad 2 so maybe it isn't fast enough?
I know you click the switch, turn and move right to throw a rock or something onto the floor plate and then side step back through the gate and then back into the now open door. However, the gate isn't opening fast enough but the door is closing as I'm trying to step through the gate so there's no way I can get to it in time. In the PC version I may have had the rock in my hand when I clicked the switch which saved some time but I am unable to do that on the iPad. I might not be remembering how to solve this puzzle though. Any thoughts?

Do as few steps and turns as necessary!
- flip the lever, do a 180, one step forward and one step to the right
- toss a rock and do one step to the left
- as soon as the gate opened enough do two steps to the left and one step back

Hi, thanks for the reply but it is not working. I've tried using as few steps as possible. Has anyone else had this problem?

Got it! Thanks for the advice.
I threw an equipped knife and it gained me enough time.

Tons of people have had a hard time with that speed puzzle, but it really is a puzzle and not so much a test of speed skills, as if you do the "correct" moves, it's mostly just a matter of self-control and proceeding on-cue.
