The quality was very good, and almost every hole was pre-drilled, with only a minor exception. I had to make a quick template using the upper board to replicate it on the lower one. There were no printed instructions, but a video was provided. it was extremely clear except for the hinge mounting part. I called them and was guided through the assembly. Very pleased with both the product and the experience, definitely recommended.

A Few More Reasons to Work With Us

We know you have options, and want you to feel confident that your money goes the distance when choosing The Hidden Door Store.

door closed icon The OG Specialists

As the original hidden door specialists, secret doors have been our sole focus for over two decades. Our parent company, Creative Home Engineering, builds unique projects that have gained worldwide recognition. The Hidden Door Store makes that expertise more accessible to everyone.


Blue Padlock Icon Guaranteed Concealment

We deliver what matters most. Some companies view and build secret doors as nothing more than cabinets on a hinge. We see them as machines made of wood, metal, and circuitry. We use the latest CAD and manufacturing methods to design both our doors and the tools we assemble them with.


flag icon Proudly American

Our family-owned company designs, fabricates, sources, and assembles your door in the USA at our facility in Gilbert, AZ. To simplify our supply chain, we buy our raw materials locally. We also machine and laser cut all of our hardware in house, giving us much better quality control and lead times.


badge icon 10 Year No Nonsense Warranty

Don’t fall for “lifetime” guarantees with severe limitations on how you’re protected. We stand behind our entire door, including parts, in our 10 Year No Nonsense Warranty. Save yourself the hassle and work with true professionals from the start.

See What Our Clients Say

High Quality Craftsmanship

I was looking around for a creative fun touch for my wife’s closet and I came across your hidden doors.  I love it! I like the craftsmanship and find it to be a high quality door. I love the way the opening mechanism works. We put an expanded ornamental frame around it to make it match the closet.

Your salesmen were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The door came well packed and on time and it was easy to install.

Definitely Sending Referrals!

We are so happy with how the secret mirror door looks in our house! We were searching for a solution like this and knew it was right when we saw it. The magnetic entry system is a blast to use.

We will definitely be referring people to you as will Wayne, our handyman, who did the install. He greatly appreciated seeing your showroom and discussing the ins and outs of the install process before tackling it.

We love it!

Tons of Space for Valuables

I LOVE my hidden closet and door! Some friends have asked why I need a hidden closet. Well, I like to keep certain things private. I am able to keep my nice jewelry in this closet in the drawers of the secretary or on top of it in a jewelry box. Some I still have in the safe. But out of the safe makes it more accessible to me while still not accessible to a thief. The ability to keep these things somewhere that people do not even know exists gives me peace of mind.

Then there is the fun aspect. It’s fun to have a place in your house no one knows about. I have been truly enjoying my hidden door and am so glad I got it.

Fantastic Door, Direct Guidance from Engineers

These are really great at what they do…make a fantastic looking mirror door for an affordable price.

They offer custom services but we decided to purchase the “pre-fab” mirror door. These guys helped on every step of the process. We hired a local contractor to finish some attic space behind the wall cut open to install the mirror door.

Even when our contractor had a question during our prep stage, a Hidden Door Store engineer spoke with him directly and gave the correct guidance. Door arrived on-time and most importantly looks great!

Secret Closet in Master Bathroom

Just completed a major master bathroom renovation and we wanted to incorporate a secret door going into a closet. We contacted Creative Home Engineering [Hidden Door Store’s parent company] and they were very helpful guiding me to one of their stock mirror secret doors. Ordering was very simple and the pre-hung door came very well packaged resulting in no shipping damage. My contractor followed the very well prepared installation directions and I am now enjoying my secret closet door.
