Disclaimer:

  • Murphy Door does not guarantee against sag or twist on doors wider than 36" (Rough Opening 38").
  • Total width of the inside dimensions of the jamb is the size listed on your door option (IE: 30" door is 30" inside to inside of the jamb).
  • Our doors are constructed using a MDF or Plywood Core - 3/4" sides, 1-1/2" top, 1-1/2" bottom, 3/4" shelves, 1/2" back panel, 3/4" casings - paint-grade or wood veneer options available. The face frame and cabinet doors are 3/4" solid hardwood. MDF cores carry our full 1 year warranty. Plywood cores have a 30 day warranty due to a higher risk of delamination.
  • All Murphy Doors will be built to accommodate shimming for both the height and width. If your order includes custom measurements, these same accommodations will be made. The jamb width will be ½” smaller than the rough opening width selected. The jamb height will be 1-1/8” shorter than the rough opening height selected. Please note that due to the special nature of our doors, you will want to have the clearance for shimming to allow the door to flex. As your house shifts, so will the door. Please keep in mind that we do this so that adjustments can be made when things like this happen.
  • All existing jamb and trim will need to be removed prior to installation of a Murphy Door.
  • Murphy Door is not responsible for issues with painting or staining of an unfinished door. We recommend a professional finisher for all unfinished doors. We also recommend that the doors be painted or stained within 10 days of receiving the door in order to avoid any bowing or flexing of the wood. Unfinished doors are sent as completely raw wood, with no lacquer. The paint or stain cures the wood in order to avoid any issues with it. You will be responsible for sanding and priming (if applicable).

Our murphy bookcase is impeccably made, functions beautifully, and is such a conversation piece!! Murphy Door, Inc, was great to work with. Timely and perfect delivery, product was packaged incredibly well, and our GC had no problems with installation.

Thank you so much for your awesome review. We are so happy that you love your door. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need any help!

decent quality, with disappointments

Measured or door according to instructions on this site. The door could have been 2" taller, I paid to have it cut down, per the chart, totally unnecessary. Shi mmt door is substantially shorter than the 2 doors in Tyne same hall. Build quality is ok, fit and finish aside from above is ok. The front trim is out outrageous for 18lf of prefinished 1x4. Every piece of which needs to be trimmed to fit. Is that what the touch up paint is for? with the dimensions supplied to order the door the least they could fo is have the trim pieces cut correctly. Functional, but hardly a showpiece.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our customers' experience. We are sad to hear your experience with us had so many disappointments. The trim is sent uncut so that it can be fitted to each project specifically on site, we have found this lends the best result. We apologize however for not giving you a clear expectation for what you were receiving. We appreciate your honesty so we can fix those issues on our end. We hope you are still able to enjoy using your Murphy Door!
