MURPHY DOOR Hidden Hinge Hardware - Easy DIY Hidden Door System, Heavy Duty Swinging Door Hinge for Secret Door or Hidden Door Bookcase, Up to 300 lbs

This hinge system works great and it allowed us to place the pivot point behind the wall.

The hinges come with no instructions. I contacted the manufacturer to get the measurements for the positioning. However they don’t want to give any information at all. After searching for a long time I found a YouTube video where the guy gave the measurements. Once I had the measurements it was very easy to fit the hinges. I built a bookcase door and is working fine. Very happy with the results and hinges. Not happy with the manufacturer for not giving any information.

These hinges work very well. Just follow the installation instructions to the T, and enjoy your custom hidden door. Mine is full of liquor bottles and the door swings like a dream every time, as they say.

Have tried different style hinges for a Murphy type door. These work the best by far. Recommend these if you need this style hinge.

The product works as expected but the instructions are terrible. It's almost like they lost focus half way through the directions. They start out great but then just stop instructing. Examples: 1. There are four separate hinge parts-- they provide templates for 3 of them. They do not provide a template for the hinge on the top of the door. They also do not tell you that you have to drill through the top of the door to put the pin in (or tell you what size drill bit to use) but show a picture of the hole in the final step. Some of the instructions are subtle and obviously came from customer comments (like a note at the bottom saying the hinge will go over the top of frame). Again, I don't blame them for this, if you tell me things, it's my duty to read everything and find it in there. They could benefit from a good technical writer however. Finally, the pin that is put in for the final step really doesn't go in and turn. It works fine but once it's in, it's permanent so make sure you have everything you want the way you want it before putting it in. Now that I've done it once (and never will again), I would probably just get supplies and do it myself without buying the hardware. The hardware is good quality but not worth the price. It's basically 4 metal plates and a pin. I think I spent more time trying to follow the directions. That being said, it's not easy so there is no way I could do it on my own without struggling through it with their directions the first time. For reference, I made an outswing bookcase door.

Hinges are quality! Sturdy and smooth. I just wish they came with instructions/templates. There are some available online, but they seem to be geared to the installation of their bookcase kit - not for the DYI’er or a custom job. Regardless, I did get them installed and working well. Best advice I can leave - measure, measure, measure, BEFORE drilling and screwing. And invest in a 4 way laser level if you can.

Works good. We don’t use the door much but it is good. Easy to install and durable. I would say they look good but you can’t see them! I enjoy having a secret door that people don’t know it there.
