What an awesome idea. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to dismantle your existing door to demonstrate the key/finer points. Ingenious. I will be using a 'variation' to facilitate a hidden space for valuables...which will be super awesome now thanks to your kind video. Cheers... Mike
I don’t think I’ll make another video on the door but you can ask any questions you like. I’m using a knife hinge on the bottom and a pin on top. Spacing is 1/4” on the hinge side and 1/2” on the latch side.
This is exactly what i was looking for! The spring on the back is the perfect solution for my problem. Question: to get the original door to pivot correctly, did you remove it from its hinges? Im assuming the pivot hinges are attached to the bookcase itself, and as im working out my own door solution, my brain says the pivot point would cause the original door hinges to cause a clashing pivot point. Maybe I'm overthinking, but yours is the first ive seen with the original bathroom door intact, which is what im trying to figure out.
Glad this helped you. I’m not using standard hinges, just the knife hinge on the bottom and a guide pin on top. You can get them from LeeValley. The hinges are attached to the door. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@humandoing9675 I have found an old secret door with a system almost semlier to yours,I was hope if you can help me to understand this detail if you don't mind, I like to send you the details on email bcs it's an image from a book.
Great tips. Where did you purchase the springs for the pushing mechanism? I like the basic design of the ones you made. If Amazon, could you provide a link?
Enjoyed it, thank you.

No problem! It’s best when in person!
Cool stuff!
I've wanted to do this for so long.
It’s a fun door to have. Great for conversations.
Have you fixed the shelves to the existing door or did you have to build a new one?
@@saml2145 fixed the shelves?
could you show us the whole setup for that hidden door? Hinges, spacing, etc

Your book to open your secret door, where you put your finger on, is dirty, and it is "floating" in the air..... easy to find out which book to use.
I can tell you from experience, you cannot tell which book to use. Only after using it can you see it.
Well done
Can I ask you a bout problem I have ?can I email you if possible?
Ask any questions you like.
