Hidden door

[Mandana]

Hello! Happy Friday everyone. Has anyone fitted a Murphy door before? We’d like one but can’t find any UK suppliers. Photo and link to show what I’m talking about. Thanks!

You've just sent me down a rabbit hole to look at this!

Maybe this shines a bit of light in the hole?

I was going to put the front of the TARDIS on my lads bedroom wall when he was little that led into the much bigger eaves space...

 

Should have, would have, coul...

Think of all the goodies I could hide in there ......

I did One in a clients f-off masssive house. It was in a bookcase, and led into a panic room with comms etc. That was about 20 years ago, and was proper Scooby Do. The best secret escape i ever saw was a pair of robe doors from a clients bedroom, into a secret staircase, that went down to behind the panelled walls in the entrance hall.

Hi, 
Have you managed to find a good contractor?
I'm also looking for a similar Murphy door. I've got a recommendation from my friends to use Secret Passage (www.secretpassage.co.uk). First, however, I wanted to check if this is something I can do myself.
Could you please share the pictures of your finished project? Is it something DIY carpentry enthusiasts can do? What kind of hinges did you use?

Thanks!

Hi

Yes, we found a contractor to make the Murphy door for us. He built it from scratch.

Definitely want one now.

Absolutely brilliant and makes so much sense in the wasted space of some doorways. I wonder if you could somehow make a fire door version. Storage in the utility room and then access to the garage.
