This is an old video, but I have been seeing people recently refer to these doors as "Murphy doors". I was curious when the term "Murphy door" was first used to describe these.

Been banging my head on a solution and this looks perfect! Just ordered and looking forward to the install. Thanks Lee

thaaank you !!!!!!!!

What size of drill bits do you use?

Where can I buy your product?

Amazing. Can’t wait to get started on my project

I sent a question via the website but have not heard back if you are still around

Nice work. Was wondering what kind of dead bolt you used?

It looks like there’s not much room to store much in that closet as the bookcase needs most of the space to swing in. I’d have gone with one that swings out.

Good video but it would be helpful to show some close-up shots.

I did it myself thanks to Stodoys.

Hi Lee S, Great products. 👍 I gave you a shout-out at the end of my video, check it out. ua-cam.com/video/ZSDw8mBc3Lk/v-deo.html

As a reformed carpet installer, I can tell you that a future carpet installer is going to curse you for screwing that over the carpet. One of the biggest pains were when people would build a wall right on existing carpet. The rip out is murder when that happens.

Hi great job man! What clearance do you need between the bookcase and jamb?

How do you open the door from the inside?

Beautiful!

Great job

Any one know information on where to buy that door?

great job 👍

"The hardest part is getting it into the hole".....that's what she said. Great video. Looks like good wood material as well.

I found this video very helpful and the concept is exactly what I was looking for. Dealing with Lee is a real pleasure & I thank him for his excellent customer service. - Bob from Canada

Lee's secret doors and hardware are top notch, well thought out & work really well. I can't recommend him enough. - Bob from Canada..

You mentioned several times “this comes in the kit” what kit did you use or have available for sale??? Thank you

Can you send me a link of the inswing catch

Thanks inswing door fixed

Hey Lee, Is the info in here still relevant... the latest and greatest

What I don’t like is the molding at the bottom you can clearly tell it is framed as a door.

where did you get the door from?

Great job! Thanks for the information on building one!

is it possible to make this book case with the kit 6" depth instead of 8"?

Very nice kit! I really like your design and finish over the other similar concepts I’ve seen. I do have a couple of suggestions that you might try, a few things I may do if I order the kit. I would suggest cutting a bevel along the edge of the face trim on the hinged side. This would eliminate the corner of the door binding on the door stop while closing, as there would be no sharp comer after cutting the bevel. Secondly, I’m not a fan of the bottom bracket that secures to the floor as shown here. The threshold style looks better to me, but not the best application for every instance. I would use a similar bottom plate, but it would be only a few inches under the door, just enough to hold the base hardware and it would 45 from that corner toward the wall/baseboard. Once closed, the only exposed portion would be a 45 degree triangle base from the doors corner to the wall (about the same size as your). That base could slide along the wall for side to side adjustment during installation and I would have a groove cut into the base a few inches for in and out adjustment during installation. The bottom bracket would be secured after adjustments. The base would be beveled along the exposed edge and caulked at the baseboard for a nice finished look. Your kit is great, these suggestions are just my opinion according to my thoughts after watching your videos. Great job!

wow you can literally lock someone in there, no safety escape latch... thats a little troubling...

The spinning transitions are really irritating.

Solved a problem for my inswinging version, thank you!! Great vid with lots of important details which too many people miss out.

I would use some decorative molding around the door jam, and set the molding to align with the 'closed' bookcase. Using the square 'door-stop' framing sort of gives it away ... It still looks nice, and it is a matter of personal choice. But, especially if it is in a more formal room -- such as a dining room or library -- the decorative molding will really give it the look of 'just a bookshelf'. I saw a nice home, recently, that had a 2-section bookshelf in the front office. {The Owner worked from home, but would sometimes have clients come to his home office, that had a 'business door' directly on the front porch.} The middle section of the bookcase opened into the Master Bedroom walk-in closet! So he could go directly to and from his office to the bedroom... rather than walk thru several other rooms to 'go around' to the Master. BTW -- the closet also had a false wall that provided a Safe Room and his Firearm Storage, behind a Dressing Mirror.

Omg thanks was sooo lost with our new project 😃

I Was wondering how if possible get rid of the door way trim on the left right and bottom to make it not as obvious it's a door. Have you considered making a video with your hardware etc but a smaller version like half the size and how to hide every thing. I want to use your hardware versus using the Sugatsune ones I purchased.

The "insert" you refer to is called a: "T-NUT."

Very nice, now that you have had it installed for a couple years is there any sagging?

Whats the ballpark price for something like this?

I'm also installing a hidden bookcase door. Except it opens out on hinges. It's definitely more complicated to do with trimming in the way but doable. Will be posting it when I complete it in the next 2 weeks. Just heading back from a trip and all my parts I ordered to finish it should be there.

the bottom needs a threshold or something to make it look more hidden. the bottom of the bookshelf is a give-a-way. Real built in bookshelves don't go all the way to the ground, typically. Otherwise, very cool.

can i do the same thing but the door open to the outside

can i do the same thing but the door open to the outside

Great idea. Where can I get all the parts for this project? Thank you.

On your book latch installation video, where can I get the book and latch kit with the wire?

Can you tell me where you purchased this latch and the name of the product? This will be perfect for our new Murphy door. Thank you. Great video!
