Murphy Door 101

A Murphy Door is a door with a double purpose, such as a bookshelf or a mirror. Not only are they beautiful, but they are practical. We offer a variety of styles, including bookcase doors, shoe rack doors, spice rack doors, pool cue doors, and much more.

Because we are the leading secret entrance door on the market, the name “Murphy Door” has become synonymous with hidden doors. As the original hidden door company, we’re proud to be the brand that comes to everyone’s mind when looking for a distinctive and functional home upgrade.

The benefits of having a Murphy door are infinite. Not only do they conceal an opening into a room, but they’re also functional pieces of furniture. Instead of a regular door, install a Murphy door that is also a bookshelf.  Need extra storage for your clothes but want to save space? Our dresser doors will work perfectly. Want a secret passageway to your home bar? Our speakeasy doors will be the ultimate choice. No matter what your needs are, we have just the right hidden door for you. 

The basic function of a Murphy door is to remain nearly invisible until the door is swung open to reveal the space behind it. We make a wide variety of hidden doors for any room. When you order your door, you’ll have the option of making it swing inward or outward. We also have French and bi-fold doors that fit seamlessly into the space of your home. To see a Murphy door for yourself, schedule a visit to any of our virtual showrooms.

Installing a Murphy door is similar to installing a regular door. Except for our DIY doors, all of our hidden doors come fully assembled and pre-hung in the jamb. Each door comes complete with easy-to-follow installation instructions. You’ll also find installation guides and helpful videos on our website.

Murphy doors are generally made of wood. When you purchase a hidden door from us, you aren’t buying a one-size-fits-all secret door solution. Not only will you be able to select the type of door, but also the wood core type, wood type, and finish. We can completely customize every Murphy door to meet your specific requirements.

In short—yes! Our hideaway doors can be used to hide any space in your home. Whether you need a secret hideout to relax in at the end of the day or a place to store valuables out of sight, our secret doors are the perfect solution. Install a Murphy door as the entrance to your man cave or secret reading nook. No matter your reason for needing private access and extra space, our Murphy Doors are sure to add a distinct touch to your home.
