InvisiDoor Hidden-Bookcase-Door Hardware

By Justin Fink

In this episode of Project House, I meet up with builder and longtime Fine Homebuilding contributer Gary Striegler at InvisiDoor’s booth at the International Builder’s Show in Vegas. Gary shows off his new favorite hardware which he recently used to create a hidden-panel door in a custom home in Arkansas.

Plus, watch more features from IBS 2014.

    Cool idea. I'd be curious to know if the door assembly needed any kind of cross-bracing to keep it from racking over time. It looks like the demo has a 3/4-in. back, but I could see the front of the frame twisting, especially if it was carrying weight.

    I've only ever gotten great service from CSH. And the concept for hidden doors is pretty neat.
