One choice for hardware. There are others. Check yutoobs.
On my dream bucket list.

Hidden door Hinge System - Cabinet And Furniture Hinges - Amazon.com

You could have left the switch there and put some small recessed lights that would illuminate to top shelf.
Looks great either way!!

Turned our master bedroom closet into reloading/gun tinkering room by removing existing door and building hidden bookcase... pretty easy! Now not only are my toys locked in a safe but the safe is in hidden room ... also I have a place to fondle them in private . Lol! Anyway I'd be happy to pass on how to do to anyone interested...

Take an old book, glue the pages together, and cut out a shape in the pages and back cover to fit a electronic lock. Put in the lock, slide the book over it and voila! Hidden lock.

You can buy hinges for these but they want like $150 for em.. I'm cheap and made my own for about $10... see pic, used a couple pieces of 1/4" thick strapping nylon spacer block and a bolt .. top and bottom the same .

I think this outside door was well done, especially the hardware.

I made a few of these hidden rooms, but it was back in the 80's for some hippies and their skin tanning equipment.

GREAT catch. That is a good idea.

Thanks for posting. We'll be building a new house next summer and a couple of secret rooms are in the plans. My wife actually brought it up first. She wants a Scooby Doo bookcase to gain access to her library. Seems only fair I get one too.

Hell that makes it that much easier that she's all in for it too. these would be a great idea in new construction. That way you are building it in from the start. I will sure be keeping this in mind if we do some remodeling.
