"Invisible Doors"

Part of project "extension" is a small cinema room to get "all that crap" out of the front room and to stop Sonny Jim from rattling the floors from his bedroom as it'll be accoustically isolated from the main house by original external wall (now an internal wall), solid floors, concrete board ceiling(?) etc etc. All was going well with the plan until we realised the door opening into the cine-room would interfere with rear and effect speakers so I tentatively suggested to the maker of rules with the firery stare that we could open the door outwards into the new hall bit-thing.... You'd have though I'd suggested getting a nubile Swedish aupair to wash my back in the shower!

Then Son and I found a website called invisibledoors(dot)co.uk Looks like the answer to leaving a "doorless" hallway as required, a fire door for sound-proofing and an outward opening door all in one.

Apart from the above company has anyone here tried something similar or even used the above system? at the moment I can only see benefits for all concerned... Some form of hidden/discrete lockable door entry would be the ultimate achievement for even cleaner lines and security if anyone has any ideas?

Cheers - Pete

Concealed mortice hinges are a relatively standard item

But if soundproofing and security with a bit of concealment thrown in , got to be a bookcase door:-)

"This is carpentry" Link. Blimey I can just about manage to hang a door and chop in hinges that's an extreme project.

Also.... this is the hallway in from the front door so a random book case in the middle of the wall might look a little odd. :)
