Murphy Door ID.HINGEKIT Fmhd Pivot Hinge System W/New Ball Lock Pin

We ended up sinking the hinge into the door itself to minimize the gap between the shelf and the floor. We used trim to hide the side and top gaps. It looks great and you can't tell anything is behind it at all. Anyone who says the hinge isn't hidden just didn't install it in a way to actually hide it.

Depth of the bookcase is wall-width for 2x6 framing. I set the bottom hinge into a concrete slab floor using Tracon concrete screws....4" long if I recall, and the top is mounted into dimensional framing. Zero sagging in a year and a half. I was a little hesitant on the price, but now can heartily recommend the kit.There's a video attached that shows the finished product....after three years or so.

First of all, building a hidden bookcase door is not a novice project. The company provides some basic instructions, but you can plan on having to adapt them based on your wall, opening size, depth of flush mount, trim design, etc. That said, I had a semi-flush bookcase (ok, billiard cue and gear case) built and installed in a day. I first built a quick mock up of the bottom hinge to check clearances, and once I had that working, everything else just clicked as to how it had to go together.The top pin turns to lock and can't fall out, nor can it get loose, unless you've installed it incorrectly. The bottom hinge glides smoothly. The catch is adjustable once installed to the amount of 'catch' is needed.Tip: I secured the threshold last, as I used that to adjust the door so it was level.

Works great, no schematic or details with hinge . Website has basic setback info. Comes with a stop ....no directions for it.

It works but it isn't hidden. The gap required to allow the bookcase to swing out makes it very, very obvious that something is behind the bookcase. Perhaps if the application was for a bookcase that swung in, it might have worked better. In my case it was okay because I was just hiding a storm shelter door for cosmetic reasons. If you actually want something to be hidden, I would use a different product. This was installed by a professional, experienced carpenter.

This vendor making a killing on this hardware package. Basically paying $150 for the hinges, (As I've just installed I'll have to come back and let you know how long they last.) some screws and a stop. The stop I still haven't figured out. If you watch the video they claim new & improved? No instruction on where or how the 3 bolts are placed? I have to re-adjust every day. looking for a better way to keep closed. looking at using magnets. The lack of instructions is somewhat annoying, I just put them where I thought they should and went with it.

Item arrived on time. Item was installed on a different size shelf as for whay the manufacturer suggests. The hardware was installed on a smaller and wider size shelf. The hardware works great.I didnt use the door catch mechanism it came with to hold the shelf (door). The door catch mechanism allowed the shelf to have a slight jiggle, which I didnt like. I purchased a set of CMS round magnets (70 pounds) to hold the shelf door and worked better. No more jighle and had a solid hold to it.

Murphy Door provides zero guidelines or directions on how to install. I ended up having to google Invisidoor's hinge kit (similar) to figure out how far from the trim I am supposed to mount and by sheer luck I got it right. How do you charge $140 for a hinge kit and give no guidance on how to install? I guess it's Murphy Door's way of forcing you to buy their $800+ doors that have big gaps on outswings. I did it myself and have zero gaps so thanks buy no thanks Murphy Door. The hinge itself is solid and I have no concerns with its ability to hold my door.

Product offered great instruction and plans on the website. Worked like a charm and cabinet swings so smoothly

It came in a beaten up box that has been opened and re-taped many times. The parts are in a zip lock bag with no instructions or information and is missing a piece. No whete does it say used peice together package.
