Batman Begins

Through a secret bookcase door. If you want a secret door to your hidden lair, you can build one yourself with a kit or parts from Murphy Doors.

The Murphy Door Company makes doors that are also fully functional shelves or cabinets. There are three different kinds; Single, Double or French, and Surface Mount Bifold.

The Single and Double Murphy Doors are recessed into the wall like a standard door. They can swing left or right and the shelves can be on the inside or the outside.

The Surface Mount Bifold Murphy Doors look like a built-in wall unit, but they fold out in the middle to reveal a doorway behind the shelves.

Double Murphy Doors

Double doors are available in standard door sizes from 48″ to 84″ wide. They can replace double doors or be framed into any doorway or archway.

Both the single and double flush mount installed doors are available in primed or pre-painted paint grade or unfinished or pre-stained hardwood veneer with a plywood core or hardwood veneer with MDF engineered core.
