- Hey guys I'm back with a quick video talking about building a secret door. I wanted to discuss my pool cue rack secret door and explain how I came up with the idea. I also wanted to show you how simple it actually was because it's just a normal hollow core interior door underneath. I have much more projects coming and I'm currently filming the making of the horse race game. That video will be up soon and it's epic so stick around. Thanks for watching and make sure you subscribe and follow me on social media.

Very cool and intelligent. I wanted to see the other side though
That's great for a panic room encase anyone ever breaks in. You would never know there's a hiding place behind there. You could also use it to hide your weapons maybe Great work.
Encase? Wow
@@naui_diver9290 yup encase anyone breaks in, bro.
@@nobytes2 The words you're looking for are "in case", to "encase" something is to cover or wrap.
@@naui_diver9290 Hopefully you would not say that in person to another adult. It's rude. It's pretentious, condescending behavior to correct someone's SPOKEN English, unless they ask you to. You assume the ignorance of your speaker (it's entirely possible that he/she knows this grammatical rule), when really, the ignorance is all yours.
@@JPG23 Guess your momma didn't teach you it's rude to correct another adult on their grammar/word usage. It's rude. It's pretentious, condescending behavior to correct someone's SPOKEN or WRITTEN English, unless they ask you to. You assume the ignorance of your speaker (it's entirely possible that he/she knows this grammatical rule), when really, the ignorance is all yours.
Thanks for sharing this. You did an awesome job, and I appreciate all the details! My wife thinks she is the next Nancy Drew and she is obsessed with your hidden door. Now that you've explained how to do this so well, I've run out of excuses, so she is going to get her secret door after all. I'm looking forward to your next project. Thanks again!
I’m putting together a door exactly like yours. I had to guess about the deminsions, but getting it together any way. thanks for giving me the great idea!
Ok ok ok, must important question 🤔🤔🤔 I have enough space in my apartment?????????😣😣😣
Walter white and gus fring would love this.
Oh yeah, he's probably thinking about it right now
I was expecting it turn around and hide the stuff when not in use.
Congratulations to the kids getting caught being good.
Very Awesome.
That's super dope! I also loved your touch on The Goonies movie. I might watch it tonight
Suggestion: Extend the kickboard trim at the bottom onto the door. The lack of it is the only give away.
Then it would scrape the floor and people would notice the scuff marks.
Your Right Mr. Owl i Saw the Same Thing !!
A place to hide my kids...I love it!
This is hands down the best one I’ve seen. Great job
Great idea! I was looking into bookshelves or a murphy door kit but I think this will be perfect for what I need
This is great! Thanks for sharing. This is something I could do. I've watched others and its "yeah right i can't do that " or "to complicated " This is really great and you explained it well.
We used to find stuff like this in drug dealers houses a lot. A lot of them, we would have never found without someone telling us about it. A lot of times the only way to find them were with measuring tapes
, and could tale hours, something a burglar probably wouldn’t have.
Thanks for the comments. It was just a fun little project to use some unused closet space and see if we could hide it. The meat thing is that it's sealed enough that even with the light on inside the room you can't see any light coming through
This is freaking awesome! That’s gotta go on my honey do list! 🤣
Lucky guy.
You’re on his do list too.
I bought a 24" tall x 18 heater return vent at Home Depot and cut a hole in the drywall, between studs, I lined the inside with soft felt. I have a simple hiding place for my coin collection, plus, plus. 4 screws, and the cover comes off, easy access. It looks perfectly normal in the room. IF you have a lot of stuff to hide, you can put one in a few different rooms.
Yes, I've seen those lately. Great idea
Nice Job, simple and functional!
Everyone that posts this kind of thing on TH-cam has the most obvious doors
Woodprix is a solid company with solid woodworking plans.
Lol I love it that they were already in there
Totally awesome idea for getting the kids out of your hair...
Entire "basement" looks quite good, specially that black color fits perfectly.
Thanks
Vary nice. You should sound proof it though. I can hear the kids in the closet.
Good job bubb. Couple of cuties too!👍🏼
So you lock your kids in the cupboard
And now it’s no longer a secret door cuz we all know about it
🤯 this guy needs his own security company...
Awsome Idea!!. An idea., have one of the Pool cue serve as a secondary lock. Pool cue maybe made from strong Wood or even metal painted as a regular cue. Slide all down and it will Work as a lock bar. Then pull chain, lift cue and opens.
Well done sir! Subscribed!
Wonder who busted who there.
So fuc🤴 awesome
There are 317,000 people that know about it as of today.
How do you get the cue sticks in the holder? There's about 18" of cue sticking above but only 7-8" to the floor?
Thanks Wally, the bar is on a hinge and flips up to get the cues out
"Nobody would know about it...except the 140,000 people that have watched...
I like it..
Brilliant!
Incredibly well done and absolutely brilliant.
Nice video 👌
Nice. I think you did the best you could to hide that room but given the room layout of your house the architecture really gives the hidden room away. So all a burglar has to do is to search for the mechanism to open the door. If you want to really hide a room you would want to make sure no one would even suspect a room in that space.
FilmscoreMetaler I highly doubt a burglar is going to put that much thought into it haha but you’re not wrong.
ALL men needs a secret door!
Great idea 💡👍 nice work 👍
Looks like you're in the 716, go Sabres! Really neat idea too. Like I need a spot for my kids to 'hide out' too as yours were! haha
Bills Mafiaaaaaa
it's awesome!
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen....just wish I had the skills to do one
pay someone to do it
Make one for me 😂. I need one for my Cigar Room
Love it
nice
This is perfect idea 💡 for hiding my master bedroom door entry from the other bedroom doors upstairs.
I want it for night or daytime safety
Wow man you are super creative 👏 guy nice work looks great!
This guy is a kidnapper 😌
LoL 😆
All the comments saying "NoOtO SEKRET nOAOOO!! hueheuheue". So fucking dumb. Billions of humans, billions of homes, a few thousand viewers, and you think the guy doing the home invasion will line up with a viewer and that he will recall the information he saw during the video and apply it during a break and enter? Yikes.
Wow, nice job, looks great! The kids being in there was hilarious!
Great door!
So he built a man cave and his kids take it over. Priceless.
genius
Great idea, was looking into special hardware to pull this off, but you just saved me some money! Cheers mate
I'm very worried about security and I want to build a secret room in my new home that I'm building right now ....it a flat house and I'm looking to build a secret room in case my home gets jumped by bandits....i got kids and could use some advice thanks you.
Just look for a spot in the house where you might be able to hide a small room and borrow some space. You could even use a full length mirror as your door if you wanted.
I was thinking of doing it in my bedroom and use the mirror as you suggested. But we will have to put a heavy duty door behind it.
What size would you recommend????
francisco Rodriguez you definitely want to go with size 14, it’s the most common size for hidden mirror doors and won’t lower the resale value of your home.
Uh, its not a secret door anymore,people please quit telling your secrets.
That was a great idea bro...
This video was very helpful and gave me some ideas. I have two doors that swing open together into my office / gaming room etc. I want to make it a double open hidden door. Might have to go the bookshelf route.
not secret no more lol
That’s very clever and very well done.
I can’t see how the pool cues come out.
So there's a wood bar hinge at one side that you lift up to get the cues out. I found that closing the door sometimes knocked the cues out.
Hi There,
Neat idea on your door! I would like to ask about the ceiling in your Rec area...did you just use a simple flat black to paint it? That is what I was considering as well. How easy/challenging was that to do?
Thanks...
Yes, it's called dryfall ceiling paint from Sherwin Williams. Can get five gallon buckets or smaller. Used a paint sprayer to put it up
Genius! Love it!
It's not a secret anymore
Right…now it’s just a door
Very cool idea and nice work !! I love the fluted trim.
That worked out well. If you line the room with Armorcore sheetrock you can make a nice panic room that will double as a storm shelter/ bullet resistant gun safe. Oops. the sheetrock I meant to refer to is actually Armorcore made in Waco Texas. (Brain Fart) Corplast is plastic cardboard. Armorcore comes in different thicknesses for different caliber protection. But cuts and install like sheet rock. Can even be painted like sheet rock.
Very clever ! Great job.
Your not so secrete, secrete door.
Thanks for sharing your story. Pretty cool.
Any chance of an explanation how the door was made?
Can the kids get out?
yes, the inside is just a normal door handle
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
The size & shape of the cupboard almost gives a hint already to what that is. I would probably disguise it even more by making that whole wall into white shelving.
Yes, I could see that but I needed a pool cue rack so I just went with it
Can you show us the pull string mechanism please . I have a 16 x 8 work shop and like a 2ft hidden room to put tools out of eye view .
Let me see if maybe I can do a quick phone video and send it on FaceBook. Why don't you send me a message on my FaceBook page and I'll try and send a video back
Great job, so clean, great use of space...but now millions know about it....
Can't show everyone else without letting the cat out of the bag.
That's cool! Great job 👏
GREAT video
THANKS for the idea
Peace ✌
Nice
It puts the lotion on da skin.
So cool man thats awesome good job
I plan on building something very similar to this for my man cave. Constructing this will be a heck of a lot cheaper than ordering a Murphy door. Thank you for posting this video.
OK, Next video: How I got the pool table down here.
That's a whole days worth of work. Disassembling and reassembling and pool table is a ridiculous ordeal, definitely should have filmed it.
Tommy Boy DIY - Whoa! I can only imagine. No mean feat. Nice work!
I want one. That’s a genius design. Love it!
best hidden door on TH-cam
we all know about it now. is our secret lol.. good video!
It is not secret any more
Not a secret anymore 👍🏻
As at today just 4.5k know about it
So you just pur the hinges on backwards to make it swing in?
How hard would this be to make if I have no woodwork experience
It takes a little knowledge and tools. You have to just think it through. There's always many different ways to do it.
Great door idea to a hidden gun room & safes 👍
Nice looking basement. Good job! Did you design the basement yourself?
Thank you. Yes, I drew it up and stuck to it
awesome!
Great job!
Can you do this with an out swing door? I’d imagine you would just make it to the molding isn’t secured to the wall, but to the door?
Exactly. Just attach the mouldings to the cabinet
Tommy Boy DIY perfect! I was about to drop a grand on a Murphy door. Thank you!
Going to try to do a battery operated strike with remote app as well.
@@tommyboydiy1484 True outswing hidden doors are difficult. I have two. It is nowhere that simple, if you actually want the hinges to be truly hidden. You can separate the hinge-side moulding vertically so that one vertical slice swings away from the door and acts as a cover plate for the door hinges. Use step-out cabinet hinges for this piece of moulding. Then the actual door hinge can be a piano hinge or almost anything. The trick is hiding the 80 inch tall vertical joint in the moulding and making the left and right sides look the same.
@@kassklein1 There is a reason Murphy does post-pivot doors that are basically a combo in/out swing. Their design is great, but it does take up a bunch of space in the door opening.
Really fine work!
That was unexpected indeed, so so cool, simple and Brilliant idea, never seen one like this before, Thank you so much for sharing, and will be watching your next projects. The children was the highlight , so cute, and yes, children and adults alike love secret rooms.
Nice job
Very nice❤
Great job!
Any advice for me, I'm trying to do a secret door that opens out. I'm using staggered shiplap, but am concern about the affect of the weight on the regular door. Can I use a regular hollowed door or should I reinforce?
I would use a solid door if possible. Although mine was hollow and I just used a roller wheel on the backside for added support for the weight
