What is a Murphy Door?

A Murphy Door is a hidden door designed to blend seamlessly into an existing room. Murphy Doors come in various designs and sizes and may appear, at first glance, to only be a built-in bookshelf, spice rack, mirror, or gun cabinet. However, each also acts as a fully functional, high-quality door between two rooms. Unmatched when it comes to security and novelty, Murphy Doors are hidden doors that are ideal for concealing valuables or simply adding a unique touch to any home.

How does the Slideaway Murphy Bookcase conceal a doorway?

The Slideaway Murphy Bookcase is ingeniously designed with a hidden door mechanism, seamlessly blending into its surroundings. When closed, it appears as a stylish bookcase, but with a simple slide, it reveals a concealed doorway.

Can the Slideaway Murphy Bookcase be used for storing books and other items?

Absolutely! The Slideaway Murphy Bookcase offers ample storage space for books, artifacts, and other items. Its shelves and compartments are designed for both practicality and aesthetics.

Do Murphy Doors lock?

Yes; all of our Murphy Doors can be fitted with a hidden door locking system that is sold separately. Our systems include keypads, wireless key fobs, electromagnetic locks, biometric fingerprint locks, or a classic mechanical key lock. Any option you choose offers an added layer of security for the space or valuables hidden behind your Murphy Door.

Can you open a Murphy Door from the inside?

Yes. You can customize your Murphy Door’s swing direction; this means you can decide whether your door will open out (toward you) or in (away from you) when standing in front of the “built-in” side of the door. Either option, however, allows you to open the door from either side of it, so there’s no fear of being locked inside.

Is the installation of the Slideaway Murphy Bookcase complex?

Installation of the Slideaway Murphy Bookcase is straightforward with our detailed instructions and included hardware. However, for optimal functionality and safety, professional installation is recommended.

Happy enough but frustrating

This was our first murphy project. It was a key element of our owner bath remodel. Overall, I'm glad we have it. However, there were several hiccups along the way with communication from this company, the hinge parts initially provided were wrong, and the final execution of the product leaves some quality to be desired.
Nick with customer service took accountability along the way, which helped me not be completely angry. If you're considering this company, just beware they have one shipment person and apparently phenomenal marketing skills, so their service can be quite delayed (requested correct part to be shipped ASAP on Dec. 18, it left the factory on Jan.2).

Without detailing every piece of my story, the company communicated incorrectly about timeline, took accountability and hustled to get the door to us, but it was delivered with the wrong parts.

There was scuffing on my boards from not being individually wrapped. I had to complain about that to be given a paint kit (awaiting arrival).

Installation directions are quite challenging; our GC messed up install until my husband and I examined and highlighted each key part (notably: adjusting for the door bow with internal hardware).

It's not super easy to open. The design of my bathroom is for this to be a hidden linen storage but now I am nervous about how tightly I need to pull because the magnetic catches are so strong. This may be better for the seldomly opened storage, and we may end up installing a small, discrete handle of some sort.

Overall, it looks nice enough but was a giant headache and I would recommend a different product/company to a friend in my same shoes.
