OUR PROCESS

Our proven methodology for producing the right door system and seamless fit, every time.

1

Choose A division: Custom or Standard

Clients may either commision a custom secret door with a unique design and options for motorization, extreme high security, exotic species and finishes and more, or choose from a list of standard secret door styles with much lower prices, but limited design options.

2

Choose a Door Style

Every door we build is unique and designed with each specific client’s needs and desires in mind, but most projects fit into one overall category for camouflaging. View our categories to get inspired for your project.

3

Initial Contact By Phone or Email

During our initial contact we gather information about your project including dimensions, style, wood finish, location details, and security requirements. This information helps our engineers put together a formal price quote. Contact us today!

4

Project Proposal

Using the information gathered in Step 3, our engineers put together a proposal for you that details the features, finishes, cost, and installation options included in your project.

5

Client Approval Drawings

Our team designs the door system around your home using 3D CAD software.  We then provide detailed drawings that show your door in both the open and closed positions along with exact opening requirements in order to guarantee a perfect fit. We make as many revisions as necessary (at no extra cost) until the design is perfect. We want you to love it.

6

Fabrication

Once you approve the drawings, our craftsmen begin building your secret door using hand-picked lumber. The doors are stained or painted in a dust-free room for a lasting finish. Our engineers meticulously hand-assemble each door using specialized jigs to simulate the installation environment. Each door undergoes life-cycle testing to ensure durability.

7

Crating And Shipment

After testing, photographs are sent to the customer before the door is removed from its testing environment and carefully crated for shipment to the owner. Each crate we build is unique to the door it protects. The door and its additional components such as shelves, moldings, or cabinet doors are wrapped carefully and packaged along with the door. Our packaging procedure exceeds the standards established by our carriers.

8

Installation

Most projects come pre-hung and ready to install into the rough opening defined during the client approval process. This makes the installation so simple that it can be performed by any local handyman, trim carpenter, or door installer. Each passageway comes with a detailed set of installation instructions and unlimited (though rarely needed) free telephone/Facetime support. Installation services by our technicians are available worldwide upon request.
