A hidden door is not very hidden if it shows obvious signs that it is a
door, a simple idea that presented enormous challenges to over come. Fast-forward
to our Alpha Door Design, which after installation and few on site tweaks takes on
the appearance of an inset bookcase without the need for extra framing or
drywall below where the door sits. Incorporating this design to our already
popular Mirror Doors makes installation incredibly easy for our customers.
Â
A bookcase door occupies a part of the opening due to the depth of the bookcase. Conversely, a mirror door mounts externally to the opening, thereby offering almost the entire space for passage.
If you aim to deceive the eye, a mirror on the wall is likely the most effective choice. Our doors are robustly constructed, and integrating an electronic lock will ensure enhanced security against intruders.
Fancy the concept but yearning for a unique twist? Consider opting for see-through mirror glass. Additionally, we offer corkboard as an add-to-cart feature, or you can provide us with your tapestry, and we'll expertly affix it to the door's facade.
With no need for additional framing or drywall, our unique Alpha Door Design incorporates its signature step-over directly into the door frame, ensuring a quick and hassle-free installation experience.
Once installed, the bottom aligns seamlessly with your wall, enabling you to affix your baseboard and paint it to match your wall's appearance.
Leveraging specialized hinges that allow for a broad trim border while maintaining door functionality, combined with a sleek back panel design, sets us distinctly ahead of the competition.

For accurate door sizing, it's recommended to measure your opening from the wall's framing, commonly referred to as the Rough Opening or "RO." To determine the actual size of your door subtract 2" from the width and the height of your RO measurements.
*It is of utmost importance to consider the flooring when determining the height of your door. If you measure the height before installing the flooring, the door may not fit properly.

A brief history of the Alpha Door: This very specialized design is responsible for putting Hide-A-Way Doors on the map. When a client approached our custom building company years ago, he challenged us with a design and build that was like nothing else you will see on the internet. Our client had done his research, he knew what other companies were offering, then came to us with a very specific design requirement. "I do not want any obvious signs that this is a door."
A bookcase door, like a conventional door, has a small space at the bottom and the top to allow it to operate properly. While this is absolutely necessary, it is kind of a problem when trying hide a room by deception. When doing our own research, we noticed something interesting about so called "Hidden Door" companies, they tend advertise photos of their doors in the open position as to hide those small spaces we call swing gaps. Some of the photographs we saw were even computer altered removing the swing gaps entirely, but why do that? The answer is simply, they do not own the Alpha Door design!
So, the question remains, "Why not make every door and Alpha Door?" Answer: The design which makes an Alpha Door a true concealment door has very real drawbacks that would deter someone that doesn't have an interest in concealing a room.
