    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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...

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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
