This is incredible. I'd love to have shelving like this in my own place, and I've always loved the idea of secret rooms/entries. This looks very well done and fun to make.
Perfect just what I needed to see what a good idea with the flip up as the outs wing one I've got to make has a unlevel floor so perfect thanks so much
THAT THERE IS NEAT BUT WHEN YOU ARE IN THE HIDDEN ROOM DO YOUR LITTLE BOTTOM FLAPS STAY UP , SO IF YOUR HIDING FROM A BAD GUY I'M THINKING HIDE AND SEEK IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, I’m in the process of doing something similar, what is the depth of that bookcase, and what was the spacing needed to allow for the swing? Looks fantastic btw! Completely hidden!
Great job on the build and video. Thanks for sharing it. I have some questions about the hinge system and latches. I saw your link for the Murphy door hinges, but wonder if there is some sort of formula/"trick" for determining the best placement for the hinge pivot point with this type setup? I know that the depth of the shelves. span of the opening, type of hinge, and direction of door swing all have important roles in determining the exact placement of the pivot point but I don't know just how to go about figuring that out. Can you provide some insight for that, please? I'm in the beginning stages of attempting to build a book case with three sections (really, a whole lot like yours, only without the second hinged door) that will take up an entire wall of my small office. The center section will be a door that MUST swing outward (as yours does) and will provide entry into closet/supplies space. Also, what type/manufacture model did you use for those "kick-spring" latches at the bottom of the doors? A link for those would be great help too. Thanks again for the video of the fantastic project.
What is the gap between the 2 bookshelves as im thinking if we roll out the first bookshelf it will catch the other side if its too close. Really like your design and the wheels incorporated too
Nice job what did you use for hinges I'm bluid a 30 x96 panty door with 6 in shelves on the inside but not sure what to do for the hinges any suggestions thanks
Lol at the negative comments about the kicks staying up. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear "panic room" being mentioned. Perhaps it's just a "secret room" as the title says, for valuables, guns, whatever... The home owner goes in, does his business, comes out and closes everything up. Jeez. Great design and well executed. Hopefully the wheels don't end up leaving marks 😁
would it be possible instead of those 2 swing out cabinets/doors in the middle to open, could both swing out the same direction as 1 big wall portion? I want an entertainment center wall with tv and speakers to swing open/out and reveal a wardrobe behind it.
Very good now reinforce the hinges add more wheels for the support of the weight of the sandbags that you're going to add along with security monitors mini cameras on the outside three 12-volt batteries power inverter three cases of water 2 empty 5gal buckets with lids one five gallon bucket filled with kitty litter and lastly a 12-volt DVD player with headphones
Building one at my new house construction, got questions 1. How to ensure you can't get locked inside? 2. Any ideas for a way that you can make the doors swing inward to open up the entire space more
I think when he was opening the door I saw a wire behind the shelf that connects the book to whatever it slides into on top. So I think you could just pull the wire down. But, I'd love to see more details behind how that all works.
It is basically a gates spring latch - a wire is connected to it and it pulls the leaver to release it. I worked hard to find the right one that pulls in a smooth action

that is freaking awesome! I am going to have one of these in my place some day
Pretty darn awesome. One of the best I’ve seen yet as far as undetectable/ hidden.
This is incredible. I'd love to have shelving like this in my own place, and I've always loved the idea of secret rooms/entries. This looks very well done and fun to make.
Soundproof it & it’ll be a great band jam room! ❤️🎹🥁🎸🎤 🎶
Looks really nice-great work!

Exactly what America needs!
Have done similar ones before.
Nicely done!
Wow Great job !!!
Beautiful!
It's giving me Dexter's laboratory vibes. Love it!
VERY amazing job! ++
Nice job, but eventually those wheels are gonna mark up the floors.
true tho
Sooner or later someone is gonna bump those kick panels and the jig would be up.
Not really, i noticed those are silicone wheels, they are very soft on thr floor
Super bad.....💯🔥
looks great
That's bad ass I'm trying to figure out how to build one in the bed room that gives some good ideas right on

Good work 💪👷
great design and finish. Would love to of seen a bit more of a in depth look of how you did the hinge
The hinge is basically what they call a Murphy Door Pivot Pin - check out this website for the kit murphydoor.com/products/single-flush-mount-hardware

GREAT IDEA!
The Hiram Key... very clever! ;)
Great job, what hardware do you recommend & are the wheels set at an angle for the arc opening swing?
What is the gap between the 2 bookshelves as im thinking if we roll out the first bookshelf it will catch the other side if its too close. Really like your design and the wheels incorporated too
How much gap did you allow for door swing, and what formula did you use to determine the amount needed?
Nice job what did you use for hinges I'm bluid a 30 x96 panty door with 6 in shelves on the inside but not sure what to do for the hinges any suggestions thanks
Well constructed, but not sure, I would like to be the one, drawing the short straw, to be left on the outside, to replace the " toe kicks" back down.

What is it made of and what is that beautiful finish/colour on it? Why do you need to lift the kick board up?
would it be possible instead of those 2 swing out cabinets/doors in the middle to open, could both swing out the same direction as 1 big wall portion? I want an entertainment center wall with tv and speakers to swing open/out and reveal a wardrobe behind it.
Gud work
What kind of hinge did you use?
I what to do this … very well done..
What hardware (hinges) did you use ? Invisidoor?
What type of hinges did you use for the toekick
Good job but you could be more detailed; I would like to know how you made the book as a key to the whole bookcase!!
What do I think? I think this is amazing!
Do you have construction plans for this?
Can you show where you've placed hinges?
How much is the gap between the 2 doors and another carcass?
Very good now reinforce the hinges add more wheels for the support of the weight of the sandbags that you're going to add along with security monitors mini cameras on the outside three 12-volt batteries power inverter three cases of water 2 empty 5gal buckets with lids one five gallon bucket filled with kitty litter and lastly a 12-volt DVD player with headphones

I wish you would’ve shown the hinges
Would like to see the mechanism when you pull back the book,what type of mechanism in the back?
It is basically a gates spring latch - a wire is connected to it and it pulls the leaver to release it. I worked hard to find the right one that pulls in a smooth action
@@mustangwoodworkinginc696 did you already Buy the book with the sistem????
I wonder if you could install a pocket door inside of the moving book shelf and have it make a room lol.
would be a great panic or hide-a-way room if it weren't for the fold up molding at the bottom
How to hide from the FBI.
Could this become a in-law suite?
How much does this project cost? Material and labor for the exact same bookcases that you've shown?
Budget: $6,000 - $8,000 CDN material included
After watching the poop add, my brain is exploding.
y quien baja la tapa si me quiero esconder?
I like you ♥
Good but inevitable someone grabs that book...I would just put a latched under the good idea kick plate perhaps even lock
There's books on my shelf that haven't been touched in years. Should be fine
PUT THE CANDLE BACK!
So what about the bottom part that's lifted up the kicker?
Someone will look at that and know something suspicious?
I subscribe you channel
That roller is gonna cause a groove in the floor over time. Having o redo the floor. :(
Too bad you couldn't hide in it..the bottom flaps will give you away.
But i do love the design.
A demo with shelves loaded with books would be more helpful. (I'm guessing hardware needs to be WAY BEEFED UP. Flip-up thing seams clumsy
No close captions that sucks
Cle
Hmm the wheels will leave Marks on the floor and you can see when someone is in the room
They should close win u close it
Now is not secret 😅😢😢😢
Too much talking
Terrible design
