FAQ
Can Murphy Door® hardware be used with a custom-built door or bookcase?
Yes. Murphy Door® hardware kits are designed for DIY builders converting a custom-built bookcase or cabinet into a functional hidden door. The kits provide all necessary hinge, pivot, and mounting hardware in the correct specifications for a bookcase door of the rated weight. Customers supply the door panel or bookcase; Murphy Door® provides the hardware system. Detailed installation documentation is available in the support center. For the best results, confirm your door dimensions and weight against the hardware kit's rated specifications before purchasing.
What is the starting price for Murphy Door® hardware kits for DIY hidden door builds?
Murphy Door® hardware kits for DIY hidden door projects represent the most accessible entry point into the brand — starting at approximately $260 for surface-mount hinge and latch hardware sets for standard single-door configurations. These kits include all the mechanical components — hinges, pivot hardware, mounting fasteners, and latch mechanisms — needed to convert a bookcase, cabinet, or custom-built panel into a functional hidden door. The door panel, bookcase, or wall surround is supplied by the builder.
At the mid-range, complete hardware bundles including STAT trigger systems, soft-close dampers, and higher-capacity hinge configurations for loaded bookcase doors are priced in the $500–$1,200 range. Automation and electronic lock additions are incremental costs above the base hardware kit.
Buying a hardware kit rather than a fully assembled door is ideal for clients who have a custom cabinet already built, or who want the flexibility to design the bookcase face to their exact specifications. The trade-off is installation complexity — hardware kits require more carpentry skill than receiving a fully assembled, ready-to-install unit.
For buyers who want professional installation support for a DIY hardware kit project, Murphy Door® offers installation through a network of licensed contractors in select cities — call 888-458-5911 to check coverage and get a quote. (White Glove Delivery is a separate, delivery-only add-on and does not include installation.) Browse the full hardware kit range in the [hardware collection](/collections/diy-doors) and configure your DIY project in the [Design Studio](/pages/design-studio).
Can I use Murphy Door® hardware for an exterior hidden door?
Murphy Door® hardware is engineered for interior applications — residential interior doors, hidden rooms, and concealment furniture. Exterior applications expose hardware to weather, moisture, and temperature cycling that requires marine-grade or exterior-rated hardware specifications. Murphy Door® does not currently offer a standard exterior hardware kit. For exterior hidden door applications — a concealed gate or exterior service door — contact Murphy Door® for a custom engineering consultation.
What is the weight rating of Murphy Door® hinge hardware?
Murphy Door®'s hinge and hardware system is tested to 1,540 lbs and carries up to 400 lbs of shelf load on doors up to 36 inches wide. Heavy-duty pivot hinge configurations can support additional loads for oversized or unusually tall doors. SOSS invisible hinges have lower weight ratings appropriate for unloaded slab doors and lightweight panel doors. Weight ratings for each hardware kit are specified on individual product pages — always select hardware rated above your estimated door weight to ensure long-term performance.

A
Works great and online instruction is great
B
Researched options and found this the best for a secret door. Installation is tricky but manageable with instructions.
M
The hinges come with no instructions. I contacted the manufacturer to get the measurements for the positioning. They didn’t help. Found a YouTube video for the measurements. Hinges work great now.
T
Hinges work great had a difficult time finding a plan that worked but once I dove in it was pretty fun figuring out how to put it all together.

We set it up just like the single doors but X2, they work smooth and will last for a looooonnnngggg time :) We used to install different hardware (no names mention) but these are set up right and work flawlessly. Thank You!!
J
Haven't installed it yet, have high hopes
I
Great product.
D
No drawings or direction for placement. Solid equipment and one of the best on the market. Will buy again.
P
Works exactly as advertised and fits the intended application perfectly.
T
Built cabinet doors with Murphy hardware. Staff was very helpful and made the project successful.
Z
Hinges are sturdy and smooth but lack instructions/templates. Advice: measure before drilling. A 4-way laser level helps a lot.
M
The hinges seem to be of very high quality, operating very smoothly with a very heavy self-made bookcase door of almost 100 lbs. As the previous review notes, the directions are rather poorly thought out, and at least one set still on their website does not match the hardware you actually get (the pin for the top hinge). I suggest that for self-made doors you create a template for the width and depth of the door, and make sure that clears the final trim as it opens and closes on your chosen pivot point--both top and bottom--and that the pivot points top and bottom are plumb. A bookcase in anything less than a 36" door makes for a very narrow opening.
A
Excellent addition to home decor. Operates very smoothly.
R
A+
I was very amazed at the ease and functioning of the hinge. The only drawback is installation directions are pretty generic, a novice will struggle with the setback dimensions
I wish I could attach a picture.
J
Received quickly. Instructions could improve, but the price is fantastic.
