This is a custom hidden door or Murphy door that I built in my basement area and acts like a bookcase as well. Very easy to build out of three-quarter inch MDF, a few one by framing pieces and trim. if you have any questions on measurements or how I built this, please reach out and I’ll assist

Nice thank you. I am wanting to create this on the backside of my bedroom door as a kitchen shelf on the other side. Brilliant. I want to use my existing door

Firefighter from Michigan here, cant wait to build mine going in to a whiskey room. I have 36inch doors now and want to make them smaller so the book case doesn’t look so odd.

- Easy to do.. just add a few studs and make it the size you want! Good luck with your build, if you have any questions just let me know! Stay safe

This is BRILLIANT!!!! This will definitely be my next project for a second entrance/exit for my windowless master bedroom. **Could you possibly share the dimensions of the door and the opening?? I'm fairly new to carpentry/woodworking and would benefit immensely from your assistance. Thank you for sharing, and I hope to hear from you soon!!!

Looking and doing an outward swinging bookshelf door with the hidden hinges. Can I use a bookshelf I already have? Also the wheel you added what did you call that? I'm concerned about the weight of the bookshelf and would want a wheel too.

Any way you could share door dimensions and then opening size left to ensure it would open? Great design!

I been trying to build mine for 3 weeks but keep running into problems. I have carpet and trying to figure out if I need to cut the carpet or just place the 1x4 over top of the carpet for the frame. I have the pivot handles like the ones you didn’t use.
@kennyconley8383 Жыл бұрын
- I’d just put the 1x4 over top and trim it out on the finished side to close the gap. Hopefully you got it figured out. Sorry, didn’t reply sooner

I build mine using a storm door kit So the door could close on its own but I like the magnet
@angelf9800 Жыл бұрын
- That’s a great idea too! The magnet is temporary until I get the latch part installed. Probably will be a rainy day project

as a fireman, do you think that people that build things like these should file plans with the fire dept in case of emergency (do normal people even do that, or just rich people with huge panic rooms etc?)? i've thought about building secret rooms etc, but have disabled folks in my home and am worried that is something happened that they might not have ems or fire get to them in time. (i saw in another comment that you said your location had another door leading to the same place, but others might not)

- As a firefighter, it’s common to see these doors in homes. I’d say, when doing search and rescue in low visibility, we come across a bookcase like this, it would open easily (unless it has a locking mechanism). As far as telling the FD about it, I’ve never had anyone call to tell us about one lol

I love how people build "secret" or "hidden" doors and then post videos of them for millions of people to see. LOLOL It's like the same people with carry permits that put gun stickers on their truck. 🤣
@williamseifert169 Жыл бұрын
- Well, I’m not hiding anything behind it… just built it for the space saving and coolness factor. But yes, if I had a stash of cash behind that hidden door I promise I wouldn’t share it. Plus, I have another door on the other side of my basement that leads to the same space! 🤣😂
