How to Create a SECRET ROOM with a SECRET DOOR in Your House!!!

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!!!
I have a walk-in closet in my house that I want to turn into a secret hidden room, so I'm going to build a low-cost bookshelf that conceals the door to the closet completely without making any permanent changes to the architecture of the building. Enjoy! Be inspired!

I love how you made it so people can't just look for a pull string, but have to actually unscrew part of it open. That is amazing. Nobody who had an idea it could be a secret room would think to look behind a screwed in strip of wood.

[@jaykuno]

At first I thought I would be obvious. But the finished product was awesome. Well done

[@kaylandcash5036]

The thing is I have to screw stuff which will be loud and it's called a secret hideout so I don't want my parents to know about because they will use it all the time which defeats the purpose

[@candiceknowles1432]

@@kaylandcash5036 when there not home by yourself you can do it

[@TheZurgi]

@@kaylandcash5036 how would your parents not know?

[@KaneWystell]

Honestly one of my favorite hidden book shelves. A lot of other project recess into the wall and include removing an already hinged door. Saves so much time, measuring, and routing if you just use the already installed door. Well done.

[@roadhockey]

The problem with this is I would want to show everyone which would defeat the purpose....

[@t.tocsmaillup8685]

Just tell them you have a secret room in your house and have them look for it but don't tell them anything

[@heatherrrenea]

You mean like the entire internet world? 🧐😕😒

[@jeremysmith4944]

I like using the original door with lock for securing the room. I would only suggest instead of a screw to put the board back; hiding the lock, maybe some inset magnets to secure the board quicker and easier than trying to have a screwdriver around!?!? great customization in hiding the left side of the original door and lock!!

[@solomon2424]

I like that idea better as well!!

[@i.like.goblins]

For everyone who’s afraid that their door is gonna break: You can put rolls under the book shelf to make the pressure even

[@jamesbh101]

Adding extra hinges to the door, wheels to the base may wear carpet indicating there is something there.

[@bigbird4481]

@@jamesbh101 it also helps to have a solid door and not a hollow one

[@BucketWheat]

Based on the location of the doorway you are using... I would suggest reversing how the door opens, so that it opens from the left-hand... Then it wouldn't be opening toward the wall. Use long hinge-plates -- so the pivot line is about 3/4" further out from the door facing -- and the shelf-unit could open a full 90 degrees...

[@cooldesertknight9013]

Great idea. I have no idea how many of us missed it!!😆😄 Salaam to you and to all.

[@mandiigraham1596]

I would have re-hung the door to the right side. Simple to do and the door will open to 90 deg. Currently you are limited to the size of objects you can push through.

[@aleksanderespenschied2220]

No because the bookshelf is connected to the door.

It is like a panic room as well. Just a feature I like in a room and looking incredibly nifty!

[@Kawinj]

Nice job for a DIY guy with basic tools. For anyone thinking about doing this I would suggest using cabinet grade plywood over construction grade. It will provide a much nicer/smoother paint finish, and is much easier to work with because it remains flatter. That was a lot of extra work to accommodate the problem of the unit hitting the wall. Just move the door hinges to the opposite edge to alternate the door swing.

[@1Lightdancer]

I thought of switchng the hinges, too

[@chriskonstandinos4996]

congratulations awesome job!!

[@xdragon2k]

For this design, though, you can't use it for a panic room since you can't close the clasp on the left if you're inside. But for a secret storage room that you rarely frequent, it's perfect.

[@employeeofthemouth]

bet you could add an eye hook to the back of that panel, with a piano wire so you could pull it closed from the door crack. not sure how to pop it back open from inside though! that could be a problem.

[@faithloyd5974]

Instead of having to screw and unscrew the last scre to lock and unlock the door, which will wear off the paint quickly, you can get a small dowel rod that slides forwards and back. You could carve it to look a little like a screw. It might stick out a little bit but I doubt that anyone would notice

[@breckdiy1981]

Fun use of a closet, I like the hidden key hole. 👍

I have to say yours is one of the best I've seen especially with the added security of the hidden lock and folding frame piece 👌 👏 excellent work. How well has it held up with the added weight. Wondered if maybe a few extra added hinges would be needed for extra support?

[@scapesketch5721]

Thanks so much! It has actually held up very well. No wear and tear on the carpet from opening and closing, and the hinges are still holding strong.
