Secret passage way behind full length mirror,
11 years ago
While remodeling one of our bedrooms , I noticed that the small door to a very long storage area looked a little out of place. So I decided to turn it into a secret door, by ordering a full length mirror the same size as the door. I used picture frame wood to attach the mirror to the door and different molding and casing materials to conceal the door opening. What do you think?

rebeccatapia, I used large window pivot hinges for the top and bottom of door. The door does not need a handle , when the door is pushed in on the left side it then opens up.( Hinge is 4-5/8" long by 7/8" wide.)
