Description

This Murphy Door® bookcase is handmade in the USA using premium real wood veneers and solid hardwood components, built to complement our hidden door systems with the same natural grain craftsmanship.

Over 200,000 products shipped from our Utah and Kentucky facilities since 2012. Every order backed by a lifetime warranty on everything but electronics: all hinges, structural steel, Vaultwood Core™ panels, finishes, mechanical locks, wood veneer, and labor. Electronic accessories are covered for one year. If your door arrives with shipping damage, even if the delivery was already signed for, we make it right. Replacement parts ship within 5 to 7 business days. See the full warranty policy.

The Traditional Bookcase is a standard bookcase that can be used as a standalone bookcase, or to frame in next to a matching Murphy Door®.

These ARE NOT DOORS. These are bookcases and cannot be converted into a functioning door using hardware and hinges.

With all of the pieces cut and pre-drilled your bookcase is assembled by hand, paint is applied if necessary, and locks, cabinets, knobs, and add ons are securely installed.

It is wrapped, packaged, and secured standing on a pallet to be shipped.

SHIPPING

Shipping refers to the time it is picked up from our facility to the time it arrives by truck to your destination. Delivery is curbside, which means the bookcase is unloaded and left by the curb.

The driver will not take your bookcase inside your house.

You will have time to inspect your bookcase before accepting. If there is concerning damage, you may refuse delivery. For further information on shipping, east coast shipping, and shipping outside the continental US see our help page.

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 invented the modern 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?

Very little — a slight pull is all it takes. Despite weighing 80 to 100 lbs, the door is balanced by our patented 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.
