what kind of door are u talking ....most of them a built to look like something else

i know a simpler method of turn a wall into some hidden door......i know 2 methods one is built into this house...other is something i picked up

the simplest way is a hinge system mounted in the paneling but it needs to be something that masks it like 70s wood paneling dark stuff then the lock to keep it shut is one of those magnetic child locks so no visible latch/turn key

the other method is making a wall but the frame is not fully nailed in a whole section of wall is held on using magnetic locks .......for u to get into the room u would need to turn off a break to kill power to the locks allowing u to slide the wall panel out and enter in the room ......yes a a whole breaker just for that so the only way in is to turn it off that is something the cops would never think of doing they would try a switch like little kids but to mess with a breaker (label it something like heating panel for some other room)

soo in my basement we have a laundry room and right behind it is where i built my new room ( ill take some pics in a few ) so what im thinking is building a 4'x2'x6' case ( like a book case ) for all the shit she needs to do laundry .... with like 3 or 4 shelves and i would make it so the back of the case is really a door and the 3 shelves would be attached to the "door" but i would make it so the door way would be split in the middle of the top and side of the big case so you wouldnt even know it was there.... not sure if im explaining it right lol but what i have in my mind is f ing pimp!! lol im gonna draw up some ideas and ill post some pics

@jimmy slim big
yah makes sense to me but i am a nutter..... so u might want to talk to a doctor if i understand u ...getting that joke out of the way

to do this would mean the whole thing is on a hinge system u are going to needs a larger stronger hinge to all it to swing out with all that weight
www.amazon.com/Stanley-Hardware-Scsts311-Stainless-Continuous/dp/B002JH0JVW

now u build the outer frame and attach that to wall and floor (this is the door frame ) the hinge will be on the side u want it to stay attached build the wall so fit in frame ( u want to make it steady and sturdy with that weight ) then the back side the inside u add drywall so can not see in it .....on the outside u are going to use Pegboard
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_0_7?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=pegboard&sprefix=peg boa,aps,179

as u see it is great for hangers and all that stuff ........it also cuts down on weight....and it is panels so seams this is what allows u to open the door and close it with the hinge hidden and the fact the wall moves

so now u can open the door the bottom is not touching 1/8 inch and the top 1/8 inch ...no scrap marks to tip off ..the pegboard will also allow u to use a wire hanger and slide into hole and pull to open (once the latches are opened )

the idea works on smaller doors too the paneling from the pegboard

welcomes man ....not the first hide away i have help build .............just something for fun and safety

this is a pull pin system so u take it mount inside and hook wire to door (u open so far take wire off door so does not pull it and open up ) anyone opening it that does not know where will set off the smoke and u have a chance to escape or u know someone was in that room

personally i would make my own mixing in hot pepper oil so it is more like a tear gas effect

My first was a room I split in half with wall hung two shelves one on top of the other DVD cabinets bolted to a peice of plywood with hidden hinges and a gate latch on the inside the best part was you pulled chech n chongs up in smoke dvd and it pulled the latch and the whole thing swung open and you stepped throg the door.

see.. to be a sneaky b'stard you need to be sneeaky, if you are leasing your abode you are lost, as in most cases low end leases are well known
by the local cops, either for drug use or bail jumpers
if you own the house, then once busted, later then, it will be secured by the courts for later re-sale, under the proceeds of screw you grower!
if legal why hide it..as it will be held by your limited liability,
better for you to save the cash and insure the lot, once disaster strikes burn the lot and claim the insurance ...?

you need to decide which canna peer group you would attest to?

In that case hiding is pointless. Why not use a heavy duty steel security door?

pointless??? how so? the point it would serve is keeping people i dont want in the room out.... steel door.... considering a door like that would cost 3 times what my whole room cost i take it your just being snarky? either way making this door way really hasnt cost extra or has it been a hasle of any sort and i just think its pretty f ing badass so weather i needed it or not i would have still done it.... youll see ... its gonna be the tits!! :)
