Murphy Doors – Secret Doors and Added Storage

How does Bruce Wayne enter the bat cave?

Through a secret bookcase door. If you want a secret door to your hidden lair, you can build one yourself with a kit or parts from Murphy Doors.

The Murphy Door Company makes doors that are also fully functional shelves or cabinets. There are three different kinds; Single, Double or French, and Surface Mount Bifold.

The Single and Double Murphy Doors are recessed into the wall like a standard door. They can swing left or right and the shelves can be on the inside or the outside.

The Surface Mount Bifold Murphy Doors look like a built-in wall unit, but they fold out in the middle to reveal a doorway behind the shelves.

Single Murphy Doors

Single doors can replace an existing door. A state-of-the-art ball bearing design allows the shelves to open smoothly.  They come in standard door sizes, from 24″ to 36″ wide.

The Single and Double Murphy Doors are recessed into the wall like a standard door. They can swing left or right and the shelves can be on the inside or the outside.

Double Murphy Doors

Double doors are available in standard door sizes from 48″ to 84″ wide. They can replace double doors or be framed into any doorway or archway.

Both the single and double flush mount installed doors are available in primed or pre-painted paint grade or unfinished or pre-stained hardwood veneer with a plywood core or hardwood veneer with MDF engineered core.

Plywood core is constructed by gluing and compressing layers of thin wood together in a crisscross pattern.

MDF core is made from recycled hardwood, which is ground into a sawdust and mixed with a resin and compressed together. MDF core much harder, more durable and less susceptible to moisture than a plywood core.

Surface Mount Bifold Murphy Doors

Bifold Doors are surface mounted over an opening. They look like a wall unit, but they fold in the center and open. They come 48″, 60″ or 72″ wide.

Because they installed to the surface of the wall instead of being built into the wall, they don’t have to be as carefully sized.

When they are closed, they just look like a bookcase. They easily pivot open to reveal a doorway.

A secret door can have a hamper build into it.
