Hidden Wall Doors That Disappear Into Your Design

Frequently Asked Questions

• How much do hidden wall doors cost? +

  Murphy Door hidden wall doors start from $1,000 for the DIY Hidden Panel Door Kit and from $1,690 for the complete Hanging Mirror Murphy Door. Final pricing depends on door size, finish selection, and hardware options. All Murphy Door products include free shipping within the contiguous United States.

• What is a hidden wall door? +

  A hidden wall door (also called a flush panel door, invisible door, or seamless door) is a door designed to sit perfectly flush with the surrounding wall surface. Unlike bookcase doors, hidden wall doors contain no shelving; they blend into drywall, paneling, or any wall finish to become visually invisible when closed. Murphy Door manufactures hidden wall doors handmade in the USA from real wood.

• What is the difference between a hidden wall door and a bookcase door? +

  A hidden wall door (flush panel door) blends completely into the wall surface with no visible hardware or shelving. When closed, it looks like a section of wall. A bookcase door conceals the door behind a functioning bookshelf or cabinet that swings open. Hidden wall doors offer the most seamless, invisible appearance; bookcase doors add functional storage. Murphy Door offers both styles.

• Are hidden wall doors DIY or do they require professional installation? +

  Murphy Door offers both options. The Hidden Panel Murphy Door Kit is a DIY-friendly system designed for homeowners comfortable with basic carpentry. It ships with all hardware and detailed instructions. The complete door systems are also available for professional installation. Murphy Door's team is available by phone at 888-458-5911 to advise on the best installation approach for your project.

• Do hidden wall doors need special framing? +

  Hidden wall doors require a standard rough opening in your wall framing, similar to a regular interior door. Murphy Door provides exact rough opening dimensions for each product. Because these doors are designed to sit flush with the wall surface, the surrounding drywall and finishing work is critical to achieving a seamless look. Murphy Door provides guidance on finishing the surrounding wall to match.

• What rooms are hidden wall doors used for? +

  Hidden wall doors are popular for concealing home offices, gun rooms, safe rooms, media rooms, theater rooms, wine cellars, master closets, utility rooms, and storage spaces. Any room where a seamless, furniture-like appearance is desired benefits from a hidden wall door. Murphy Door customers have installed them in living rooms, bedrooms, basements, and entertainment spaces.
