There’s something about secret doors that makes my spine tingle. The excitement! The mystery! But most secret doors are on the inside of a house—pull that book to reveal a hidden chamber! push that wall through!—this one, amazingly, is on the outside. It’s so good you don’t even see it.
Here was what was used to build the secret door:
- Exterior door
- Red cedar
- HardiPlank Siding
- Morning Industry Keypad and Remote Deadbolt
- Ball Catch
- Cabinet hinges
- Hose bib (for the exterior door handle)
- Dummy knob (for interior door handle)
Sounds so simple to make! The door opens either through remote or by inputting the code on the hidden keypad. I’m going to make a door like this in my future home. [YouTube via BoingBoing]

so what. it’s still cool.
maybe its a sales pitch door?
I’m trying to imagine how this would look on the average british brick house, it would be a seriously heavy door.
Draw a chalk door and knock three times.
Put masses of effort into secret door. Unable to resist putting a video of it on the internet.
Not so secret now I guess. This idea could be good as a front door on a modern minimalist house, maybe not using a tap as a handle but just a door that blends cleanly with the front of the house.
It might also help to combat the scourge of the earth known as the doorstep salesman.Mind you, if they saw that you didn’t have a door they may be more inclined to visit your house to sell you one.
A door to door door salesman?
We need to go deeper!
You would quite literally have to show the door to door door salesman the door!
