Hidden Door Hinges Plans

Out of my budget range on this fun project.

Hidden door hinges plans. Add a mirror and a shelf to the front of the door panel as shown above. The biggest negative to this plan is the cost of the pivot hinge. For this example only line 2 will be the hinge side of the hidden door. However if you are building a serious hidden entry this quality of hinge is probably the way to go.

Line 2 comes next and is drawn perpendicular to line 1 on the plywood at approximately 45 46 from the left side figure 2. Then there s one section that magically hinges open to reveal a hidden room. The miter faces the gap. Sub step 2 size the door height.

Sub step 3 sketch the strike. Cut a piece of baseboard to that length making a 45 degree miter cut along the end covering the wide gap between the door and jamb. Complete all final sanding and apply a minimum of three coats of polyurethane. The pivot hinge that gary used seems to run about 190 200.

Measure from the adjacent baseboard to the edge of the door. If you are we listed 15 hidden door ideas that can inspire you to make your home more fun. Another option is to have a door sized bookshelf built into the wall but this bookshelf is actually a door that you can open and walk behind. Yes there are many places where you can create a hidden door as you will see in our ideas below.

Option select a heavy duty secure dead bolt lock that can be locked from the inside of the safe room. Apply wood glue to the back of the piece and tack it in place as shown with a pneumatic brad gun and 18 gauge brads.
