Read about our Safe Room Hidden Door.
Experience Premium Quality
The Difference is in the Details
Better Craftsmanship
Ours
Each one of our hidden door bookcases and cabinets is meticulously hand crafted by our experienced craftsmen. The finishing details are superbly crafted just like the details in fine furniture. When you receive your hidden door, it will be sanded and ready for you to paint or stain to match the trim in your home.
Theirs
The back of their bookcase is fasted with staples that are pulling loose. Corners do not meet precisely, glue is visible on the face of the cabinet, and there are sanding scratches in the wood.
Premium Quality Wood Products
Ours
We use only premium quality wood and wood products which are free of large knots and blemishes. We are consistent in our use of the same type of wood for all parts of our hidden doors so that the sides and back match the front. Both the front and back of the doorway are beautifully trimmed with a header, parting stop and casing.
Theirs
Our competitors use an inferior quality of wood with large knots and blemishes. On a ‘premium quality stain grade’ bookcase they use different types of wood for the front, back and sides. The inside back panel resembles a packing crate wood full of streaks and blemishes.
Reinforced and Stronger
Ours
Our hidden doors have a concealed, internal steel structure that adds strength and rigidity without relying on hinges, tracks or rollers. Designed by a structural engineer, this steel ‘skeleton’ weighs about 115 lbs. and allows our doors to operate on a pivot system.
Theirs
Their products do not have an internal structural system, so their doors rely on hinges that are less expensive and less reliable over time.
More Custom Trim Options
Ours
You’ll be able to design your own hidden door with our wide variety of custom trim options. In addition to our paint grade, we offer eight hardwoods, as well as a nice selection of face frame styles, shelf edge trims, casings, cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
Adjustable shelves are standard. We also make fixed units that match our operable hidden doors and cabinets.

More Usable Space

Security Features
Ours
Our commercial grade magnetic locking system is a popular option for people who desire security for a panic room, gun collection, safe, wine collection, man cave – or anything they want to keep out of sight.
Due to requests for added security, we now offer a concealed ArmorCore™ level 3 bullet-resistant panel that can be built into our hidden doors.
