How Does an InvisiDoor Bookcase Work?

Creating a hidden room using the InvisiDoor Bookcase is probably easier than you think. In a nutshell, it’s a door on a smooth hinge system that looks like a bookcase. It fits snugly in an existing doorway or a wall, so no one visiting your house notices the bookcase conceals a room behind it. A camouflaged latch opens the bookcase door, revealing the room.

If you’re handy with tools or have some DIY home improvement experience, you can probably install the door yourself (with a helper). An InvisiDoor Bookcase installs in a standard-sized door opening, like the doorway to a spare bedroom. Or, you can create an opening in a wall then fit the bookcase in it. We offer the Pivot Bookcase Door and Bi-Fold Bookcase Door so you can have the style of InvisiDoor you need for your space.

Installing your InvisiDoor Bookcase Door is a relatively straightforward process. The crucial detail is that the door will only work properly in a solid, level frame. Make sure whatever frame you use, existing doorway or wall cut out, is completely level and able to hold the weight of a hidden door.

Installing your bookcase door is a simple matter of attaching the hinge system, affixing hardware to the door and the frame, fitting the lock or latch, adding the trim, testing the door to make sure it works, then finishing it with paint or wood stain.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WALL INSTALLATION: Before you cut into your wall, find out if it’s load-bearing. If it is, you might need to get an inspection first or hire a professional to install it.

Concealing a Home Safe Room

Amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life, the concept of a safe room as a matter of course has gained significant traction. Homeowners want reliable protection, and a safe room (a.k.a, panic room) is a tried-and-true way to fortify a house with a secure hideaway. For your safe room, you'll need an unobtrusive entrance, and the Invisidoor bookcase is the best answer. It appears to outsiders to be a regular bookcase. In reality, it's a bi-fold door or single pivot door that opens to your safe room. The InvisiDoor becomes the clandestine guardian, offering a discreet entrance to a secure sanctuary.

InvisiDoor Bookcase Doors as Hidden Portals

For those who harbor a love for literature and the mystique of hidden realms, the InvisiDoor bookcase provides a perfect blend of functionality with the excitement of the "portal" adventure. A secret door disguised as a bookcase allows you to seamlessly transition between the ordinary and the extraordinary, stepping into a world of enchantment. Fill the shelves with your favorite books, being sure to hide the secret book latch accessory among your favorite titles. One gentle pull on the book latch and voilá! The door opens, revealing a secret room behind it. If you're someone who loves magic and novelty, an InvisiDoor bookcase also makes for a delightful secret door from one room into another, as from a dining room into a kitchen.

Creating a Secret Room

A secret room in your home can be anything you want it to be–and any size, depending on your space parameters. Many people incorporate a secret or hidden room in their homes as a gun safe room, extra storage room, spare pantry, personal sanctuary, and more. Our key card entry accessory ensures restricted access so only people authorized to open the secret InvisiDoor bookcase are able to. Limited entry access is ideal for adults storing firearms or for anyone who wants top-tier concealment. 

If you want to explore novel ways to incorporate InvisiDoor into your living spaces, consider:

• Using a hidden room as a sophisticated home business space, combining productivity with privacy.
• Experimenting with hidden closet door ideas to add an element of surprise to your wardrobe.
• Creating a personal sanctuary like a fanciful library, man cave, yoga or meditation space, movie room, or art studio.
