secret door for wine room

I really like that! I wonder if I could make a secret beer room :)

Some people really go all out to hide their booze! Beautiful work.

That is SOOOO COOOL. Nice concept and great execution. Talk about having your own Man Cave. I just wonder how many people come into the main room and wonder where the window is that they saw on the outside.

What was your source for the hinge? I have a space in my house that is about 40 sq ft of unused space and I have been thinking about doing something similar as more of a “safe” room than a wine room.

very nice work titmas ! is it temp controled in there as well , or just regular air condition ?

thanks for all the comments guys. its nice to have admiration from my peers.

mrtrim, there are 2 8” lines from the main a/c trunk line that dump into the room which keep it much cooler than the rest of the house.

TomK, the hinge is the Rixon Pivot Hinge http://www.usbuildersupply.com/Rixson/370.htm. i also used 2 heavy duty roller catches to keep the door closed and a UHMW wedge on the bottom edge of the door to provide support for the door while in the closed position. these items are available from most any online hardware source.

Nice work, I would love to do this sort of hidden room/area, but mine would have to be a tequila room. ;)

Dude. I think you’re my new hero.

Awesome job! Any chance you could give some information on the hinges and the source?

Cool!

jim, The hardware used was a commercial pivot hinge made by Rixon and rated for 500 lbs. This device allowed the door to swing freely by utilizing a sealed bearing at the bottom pivot point and a retractable pin on the top for easy removal. http://www.usbuildersupply.com/Rixson/370.htm
