How I built my Hidden door! DIY 

Best Murphy door video explainer. Thank you

I'm building a hidden door of a similar thickness. The door will be hidden on both sides and the "gap" _(professionally called the reveal, though it won't actuall be 'revealed' in a hidden door)_ needs to be 1/16th of an inch all the way around while being a 6½" thick door... to achieve this I will use an angled door and door frame, beveled edges... and most importantly I will have to be creative hinge point (made possible by using pivot hinges) just some tips for anyone looking for smaller tolerances in their "gaps".

I would love the plans if you wouldn’t mind. TYIA!

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.

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!!!

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

Love this!!

I love this type of thing. I want a house where I can build a secret magical fairy loft.

I build mine using a storm door kit So the door could close on its own but I like the magnet

Cool ! Love it nice !

Very nicely done! Much better looking than other DIYs I’ve seen. What is the total depth of your bookcase?

Will you please share measurements and more details on build

Complimenti per l’ottimo lavoro, mi hai dato un ottima idea per migliorare quella che ho fatto io. Userò una rotella come hai fatto tu🔝🔝🔝

Nice job.

A material list and measurements would be appreciated, thanks.

Do you mind sharing the measurements?

Okay quick question not even about the door how did you seal with the unfinished ceiling to not let light through to the other side.

Are the plans available for the hidden door/bookshelf available?

Just found your channel, subscribed! Thank you for the content my man

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)

What is the thickness of book case

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

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.

Doesn’t using 3/4 MDF increase the door weight significantly?

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.

Thanks; I was wanting to see the backside.

nice job👍

I would love to see your plans if you are able to share!

Did you have wooden frame here? We do not have a wooden frame outside my closet. and i need something to close

What depth do you have? I’m trying to do a in swinging door

Awesome job! Just curious on your rough opening size versus the dimensions of the bookshelf?

Could you send me the specs you used in building it thanks

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. 🤣

1:14 Is the bookcase starting to come away from the frame in the top left?
