If you notice you have an outswing door, the hinge outswing throw length affects how much of a space you need for the pivot clearance when the door opens. I'm guessing that's why around @10:35 you can tell the far left slat that is the outside edge before the door starts has a slightly farther gap. The slats still look great, but it may be more noticeable if you have a door directly in the center of the wall space that the slats cover. (one slat gap will look slightly larger if the hinges do not have enough throw length)
@@DesignCraftWorkshopy didn't u explain how u fitted the door / hinges for the invisible door.. that's the whole point of the video and y I came n u didn't do it :/
Great job. Is it possible to do a diy video to hide a bathroom door using 3D 12x12 panels? I've found several patterns I like but wasn't sure if they would be sturdy enough. Also, would it be best to put the panels on wood to cover the door first? Thanks so much
Very clean and elegant design. I love it. Thanks for not having removed the mistake you made with the slabs on the hidden door, makes you very likable and authentic. Your wife’s reaction made me smile, great way of cheering you up. Subbed to your channel
Awesome idea... one thing I'd personally do is paint the back of the board holding the slats to match your walls, that way if someone leaves the door open, it wont stand out as much.
Great work! Looks amazing! I understand you made the door but can we do the same thing with existing door. Basically i want to do the same thing for the pantry door in my kitchen. Trying to see if I have to build the door from scratch like you did or not ! Appreciate your information help. Thank you
Wow great job 👍🏼 i am trying to acheive similar doir with Zenwood acoustics slat panels. I just cant find a way to install the sugatsune hinge properly. To avoid the door slats crushing the wall ones i would have to keep a 3/4" gap between the 2. Any idea of what am i doing wrong ?
Great job ! looks amazing! What are the dimensions of the wooden slats? Also, what would be the total thickness if I'm triyng to make this from scratch as a partition wall not attach on an existing wall?
Thanks! The hinge type itself is sitting into a pocket on the door jamb and the door. The way the hinge moves and how you install it allows for the hinge to be hidden.
Subed👍. 1) What hinges did you use for the door? 2) How deep are the oak slats and 3) how big of an emty gab do you have between the slats, in order for opening the door?
Wow. I really love how you hide the door. I have a weird bi fold closet. Which is on the same wall as my entertainment center and I hate it. This is by far the coolest I’ve seen.
This is amazing! I love it. Would you please explain in more detail what do you need to do to make sure the door opens without a problem even having the slats on? thanks!
Thanks for the question! The hinge itself has a wider throw which helps. I made sure that the spacing would allow for a pocket where the slats on the wall could sit in. I’ll for sure cover that in the future overview video.
Did you ever do a follow up video with this detail? I had the same question and was trying to see a close up of how the slats cleared with the hinge when the door opens. Thanks!
I have seen many stat wall tutorial on UA-cam yours is definitely the most beautiful one. This also makes think what’s the gists of making pretty slat wall. From my observation those ugly slat wall have 1. Lumber they use do not have uniform color, a lot of knots and black stain on them 2. Slat without proper sanding can look quite cheap. I am wondering what other factor can affect the appearance? can you share your thoughts? Thanks!! Again, yours is so beautiful I love it
Thank you! i think it’s depends on what you’re going for. This is probably on the higher end with white oak that is quartersawn so it gives a uniform look. Also the back white oak panel adds to the cost. It’s personally my favorite look because of the uniformity and simple look that goes with the rest of the house.
This is gorgeous. I'd love to do this. I don't know if you addressed this somewhere else, but what about a lock as this comes directly into your home through the garage, right?
Great video and love the final look. Got a question for you about the locking/closing mechanism. How do you keep the door closed? Is the magnet engaged the entire time and you 'unlock' it every time? Or does it stay closed just by friction from the caskets? How do you disengage the lock from the inside? Considering doing this to my quest bathroom wall/door and need a way for the door to stay closed, but unlocked while no one is in it, but be able to lock while someone's inside. Should be enough with a strong regular magnet to keep it closed, right? And then installing a regular lock on the inside without a standard handle. Thanks again for the amazing videos you put out!
Thank you! The magnetic lock keeps the door close. On the living room side there is a button to disengage the magnet and on the garage side there is a keypad. For your bathroom I suggest using a ball catch to keep the door closed and on the inside you can use a bolt latch while it’s in use. That’s what I would do if it were a room in my house that needs privacy.
Thank you! The slats are perfectly spaced. At the edge where the jamb and door meets, I had to add a slight chamfer since it was bumping. But it’s not noticeable
What helped me was to do a small sketch mockup using some kind of 3D software like Sketchup. You can get the manufacture specifications on how much throw there is in the hardware and base it off that in the model.
Instead of applying the construction adhesive to adhere it to the wall, can I nail it onto the wall instead so that I don't damage the sheetrock when I remove? Or do you suggest another method
Can you please share the exact width x length of the slats final measure after cut, and the spacing width between each lat? Weve started putting up the back panels, love this project thank you for sharing
@@DesignCraftWorkshop the strips are 1" x 1/2"? It looks like you placed them with the longer side facing out (shorter side against the wall), is that accurate? Big thanks for the reply
@@Consultmike yes the long dimension comes out from the wall to give it a deeper look. You want to double-check the spacing so it doesn't get caught along the hinge edge.
What hinges did you use? How many did you use, the door must be pretty heavy? How did you cover the gap between wall and door with such a small strip? Is the glue sticking well since you painted everything first? Great work by the way. Looks very good.
Thanks! I used three hinges which was recommended by Sugatesune themselves. the door alone was about 150lb before adding the solid white oak and plywood panel. There will be a gap between the jamb and wall on the hinge side. There isn't a way to cover it other than trying to make the gap as close as possible and hiding it at an angle using the slats. The glue sticks perfectly fine since I used construction adhesive. Link to the hardware should be in the description.
i have a door which has a frame around it. on the side i would like to put the panels there is a gap between the door and the rest of the wall. the door is sort of caved in. woukd it still be possible?
Hi this is amazing. Very special and so nicely and politely done. Where are you located? Am I allowed to hire you for the same thing in my house? Not seeing where you are located. Thank you!
Really love the design and the finish look! So amazing! May I know the dimension of the slats and the space between two slats? Do you have tips for the dimensions?
Thank you! The dimensions were roughly 1.25” deep and .75 wide. The spacing was about 1.5”. I suggest doing a mock-up to test the hinge and make sure it will open properly.
@@DesignCraftWorkshopwould have been nice if you covered this in the video. The depth and distance of the slats could make or break the design by preventing the door from opening at all 😅
Hi!! Loved the video!! Quick question. Do you need do add the wood panels to the wall and doors? Could you glue/nail the Slats directly to the wall and the door?
Thank you! It depends on the look. If you nail the slats onto the wall directly you’ll have exposed drywall between the slats. For the door you’ll have to add a backing or else when the door opens the top portion of slats will have negative space and the backing will give the slats some support. Unless you cut the slats where the top of the door is then you won’t have to worry about it.
Bao, The wall and entertainment cabinets looks awesome. This is exactly what I want to do in my basement. How thick is the plywood? I'm debating if I should use 1/2" or 3/4". Right now, my walls are down to the studs.
Thank you! I'd definitely go with 3/4” for all the casework and 1/2” for the drawers boxes. You'll have fewer issues with cupping of the plywood down the line.
How do you hide the hinges?
There are specific hinges for this application. Check out this video for the full detail.

This is really cool! I have been looking for a behind the scene for this type of hidden doors! thanks for sharing!!
Glad it helped!
Minute 9:18 is where I learned from a friend, measure twice cut once😂.❤
Hello there, fantastic job.. ok since the slats are spaced out how did you hide the white color of the door ?
I used a plywood back panel
Hi , it looks really good, could you explain how the door hinges are invisible?
Thanks! The hinge type itself is sitting into a pocket on the door jamb and the door. The way the hinge moves and how you install it allows for the hinge to be hidden.
Subed👍. 1) What hinges did you use for the door?
2) How deep are the oak slats and 3) how big of an emty gab do you have between the slats, in order for opening the door?
Wow! Looks great!
Thank you!
Hi! Do you remember the adhesive that you used? Your video shows the tube but I couldn’t see the name. Thank you and God Bless!
Thank you! It was liquid nails
You are the man! Really great craftsmanship! Love the creative expression the Lord deposited in you - Jesus is King!
Wow! Beautiful work! Silly question, if the application was modified, could this be renter friendly?
Looks great. I know you used solid white oak for the slats, but did you use white oak veneer plywood for the panels?
Yes I used white oak plywood for the panels.
Was this a regular door installed and you just had the door slab installed then put the hinges on the top and then added the wood slat ?
This was a brand new door slab and new door jamb since the stock door and jambs don't work with this hardware and design.
Wow. I really love how you hide the door. I have a weird bi fold closet. Which is on the same wall as my entertainment center and I hate it. This is by far the coolest I’ve seen.
Thank you! yea I hated seeing that garage door. Felt it would have ruined the clean look we were going for so hiding it was best.
Don't know if I missed it ...but did you seal the slats too? So you used Bona Nordic and not Bona natural, correct? Thx.
Yes. Everything is finished with Nordic
How much space did you leave in between each slat. Great video!
I honestly forgot. I think it was somewhere between 1"-1.25"
nice work. looks really clean
Thank you!!
This is amazing! I love it. Would you please explain in more detail what do you need to do to make sure the door opens without a problem even having the slats on? thanks!

Do you have to do something special to the door that's already there? Does it require a special door frame? Or just a typical frame?
I would take a look at this video here :

Nice! 😊
Thanks! 😄
thank you for sharing! Can I know what’s type of hardwood for grids? Is it heavy? Can I also know the size for the grid? Thank you!
Thanks! The slats at solid white oak. it's not that heavy and the sizes are 1.25"x.75" spaced 1.5" apart.
SO DOPE.

This is gorgeous. I'd love to do this. I don't know if you addressed this somewhere else, but what about a lock as this comes directly into your home through the garage, right?
Yes it goes from the garage using a magnetic lock
How did you deal with the hinge area of the door
I place a slate as close as possible to the gap. There will always be some kind of gap, but it's so close to the wall you'll never see it.
What hinges did you use? I can't seem to find it in your videos.
The hinge is from Sugatsune. Check out the first video on this series
@@DesignCraftWorkshop I saw that, but I was hoping for a model number so I could be sure to get the clearances right. Thanks!
@@michaelcaudill1790 the products are listed in the description on the first videos 👍🏻
@@DesignCraftWorkshop Awesome! Thanks again!
This is awesome. Do you need a backdrop of the same color. Or you think a black wall would work well.
thank you! It's up to you. I wanted the solid white oak look but there are plenty of spaces with wood on black walls. It looks great too
Awesome video, your attention to detail makes the whole wall work so well.
Did you stain the slats?
Thank you! I used Bona NordicSeal for the white oak surfaces.

I would love to make a wood slat wall and cover a door. How did you calculate the spacing so that the door is still free to open?
What helped me was to do a small sketch mockup using some kind of 3D software like Sketchup. You can get the manufacture specifications on how much throw there is in the hardware and base it off that in the model.
Great work !. What door hinges did you use ? Thank you
Thanks! Check the link in the description!
Instead of applying the construction adhesive to adhere it to the wall, can I nail it onto the wall instead so that I don't damage the sheetrock when I remove? Or do you suggest another method
If you can get it into the stud, then sure but it would be more secured with the adhesive.
Is that a stud wall.or brick that the slats are being attached to
It's a stud wall
Bao, one more question. Did you use 1/4" ply or 1/2" ply on the face of your door?
1/4” white oak plywood for that.
Can you please share the exact width x length of the slats final measure after cut, and the spacing width between each lat? Weve started putting up the back panels, love this project thank you for sharing

They're nailed and glued with construction adhesive. Should been in the video.
Hi, just came across this video now. How are the slats held to the plywood?
They're glued and pinned. It's in the video.
Question! How did you hide light coming from the other side of the door? Like around the edges of the door or underneath
Gaskets which are required by code. The door has to be self-sealing and also the slat extends past the door’s edge which is how I hid the seams.
@@DesignCraftWorkshop Thank you (: I am building a slat wall now and was trying to figure out the best way.
@@andrewdc1 hope it helped!
i need it to open inwards. what hinges is needed for that?
Amazing job! Did you put any other finish on top of the Nordicseal?
Nope. Nordicseal seals off the wood like polyurethane
I love it! My question is though, does it get dusty between the slats?
Only where the door leads into the garage....mainly because I bring in sawdust after I work 😅 but the other areas are spotless.
What type of wood did you use, and are they durable? Please reply
I used Plywood and solid white oak. Both are very durable and long lasting.
