“I was so worried about ordering my Murphy Door because it seemed so complicated, and then… I got on the phone with Alijah. He was so helpful and so professional. By the time we were done completing my first purchase, I already started planning additional doors and perhaps beds and shelves as well! If I would have known Alijah was there to assist, I would have made my purchase ages ago.”

FAQ
What is a hidden bookcase door?
A hidden bookcase door is a fully functional door engineered to look exactly like a built-in bookcase when closed. Murphy Door® units use precision hinges, flush-mount framing, and matched trim so the door disappears into the wall. When opened, it reveals a concealed room, safe space, or private passage. Murphy Door has shipped 200,000+ products and built the modern hidden door category.
What is the difference between a flush-mount and surface-mount hidden door?
A flush-mount hidden door installs within the wall opening so the door face sits perfectly level with the surrounding wall, creating a completely seamless look. A surface-mount door attaches to the wall face with a frame and trim, sitting slightly proud of the wall. Flush-mount installs are more architecturally convincing but require more precise rough opening preparation. Surface-mount is faster to install and works with most wall types.
Is it hard to install a hidden bookcase door?
Installation difficulty depends on your configuration. Murphy Door® panel kits are designed for experienced DIYers with basic carpentry skills and can typically be completed in one to two days. Fully assembled units ship pre-hung and factory-tested, so they install faster. White Glove Delivery (an optional add-on from $350) will bring the unit inside and place it in the room, but it does not include installation. For flush-mount or custom configurations, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper alignment and concealment — Murphy Door offers it through a network of licensed contractors in select cities; call 888-458-5911 to check coverage and get a quote.
How much force does it take to open and close a Murphy Door® hidden door?
Very little — a slight pull is all it takes. Despite weighing 80 to 100 lbs, the door is balanced by our patented hidden door hinge system so it swings open and closed with minimal effort. Most people are surprised by how effortless it feels in person.
What sizes do Murphy Door bookcase doors come in?
Murphy Door bookcase doors are available in widths from 24" to 84" to fit virtually any standard or custom doorway opening. Standard heights follow typical residential door heights. Custom sizes are also available for non-standard openings — contact our team for sizing guidance if your opening falls outside standard ranges.
Are Murphy Door® hidden doors suitable for DIY installation?
Yes, Murphy Door offers DIY kits along with detailed instruction manuals, support videos, and flush mount installation guides.
