FAQ
What does the Murphy Door® lifetime hardware warranty specifically cover?
Murphy Door®'s lifetime hardware warranty covers every mechanical component responsible for the door or bed's operation — indefinitely, for the life of the original product. Specifically covered items include: all pivot hinges and hinge assemblies; gas piston systems in Murphy bed mechanisms; all latch and catch hardware; soft-close hydraulic dampers; pivot floor hardware; wall anchoring brackets (structural failure only); and any Murphy Door®-branded mechanical accessory installed as part of the original unit.
The warranty applies to defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use conditions. It covers manufacturing defects that cause performance failure — a hinge that wears prematurely, a piston that loses gas charge, or a latch that fails to engage — not damage from misuse, improper installation, flooding, or acts of God.
Claims under the lifetime warranty are handled through [/support](/pages/help) with your order number and a description or photo of the issue. Murphy Door® ships replacement hardware at no charge for covered warranty claims, including shipping to your location. There is no charge, no deductible, and no time limit for legitimate claims under the lifetime hardware warranty.
The warranty transfers with the product if the home is sold — it applies to the original product unit, not the original purchaser. Full warranty terms, including what is excluded, are available at [/warranty](/pages/warranty). For any doubt about whether your situation is covered, contact [/support](/pages/help) — Murphy Door® resolves warranty questions with a bias toward customer satisfaction.
Does Murphy Door® ship hardware kits and small accessories with faster transit options?
Murphy Door® hardware kits, concealment accessories, RFID fobs, replacement hardware, and other small-parcel items ship via standard parcel carriers (FedEx, UPS, or USPS) and are eligible for expedited shipping upgrades — including 2-day and overnight options — for an additional freight charge selected at checkout.
Standard ground shipping for hardware kits typically delivers within 3–7 business days from the ship date, depending on the origin facility (Ogden, UT or Lexington, KY) and the delivery destination. Ground shipping is the most economical option for buyers without a pressing deadline.
For projects where the hardware kit needs to arrive by a specific date — a renovation scheduled to begin on a Monday, or a construction timeline where the hardware installation is on the critical path — selecting 2-day or overnight shipping at checkout ensures predictable delivery timing. Murphy Door® recommends confirming current stock availability before selecting expedited shipping, as back-ordered items cannot ship faster than the restock lead time.
Hardware kits typically ship within 5–10 business days from order placement (subject to current stock levels), versus the 4–6 week lead time for assembled door products. This faster availability makes hardware kit orders a practical option for buyers with near-term project schedules. Browse available hardware kits in the [hardware collection](/collections/diy-doors) or add to a project configuration in the [Design Studio](/pages/design-studio).
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® White Glove Delivery can be arranged separately for installation-only service. 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 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.

Before You Install: Finish Those Walls First
Surface Mount sits over a fully finished opening: drywall,
paint, and trim done, just like an existing doorway. If
you’re still mid-construction, finish those edges out
first, or the raw sheetrock and framing around the door will
stay visible once it’s mounted.
