Benefits of Custom Wood Hidden Doors
Custom wood hidden doors are expertly crafted to blend seamlessly into surrounding walls or paneling, offering a discreet and elegant solution for private entries or concealed storage. These doors are tailored to your space, with options to choose wood type, finish, and design elements that match your interior. When closed, they become virtually invisible, maintaining the clean lines of your room while adding a functional and stylish element.
Each hidden door is built with precision, using high-quality concealed hinges for smooth and silent operation. Whether you’re looking to create a hidden passage, secure a home office, or simply enhance a space with a unique design feature, these doors offer both beauty and durability. Suitable for residential and commercial applications, custom wood hidden doors bring timeless character and refined craftsmanship to any interior.
Custom hidden doors fabrication and installation process
Initial Consultation: We start with a one-on-one in-person or virtual consultation to understand the purpose, design goals, and functional needs of your custom hidden door project. If you already have drawings, you’re welcome to share them with us in advance. Based on your scope, we’ll provide a rough budget estimate and timeline.
Project Management: Every project is managed by a dedicated project manager who oversees coordination between our design, fabrication, and installation teams. You’ll receive regular updates through our personalized client portal, with each key decision reviewed and confirmed along the way.
Design Support and Shop Drawings: Our in-house design and engineering team works closely with architects, designers, contractors, and property owners to turn concepts into precise plans. Once approved, we develop detailed shop drawings to ensure your custom hidden door integrates perfectly with your space.
In-House Fabrication: All custom hidden doors are fabricated in-house at our fully equipped millwork shop in Toronto. By combining advanced CNC machinery with skilled craftsmanship, we maintain strict quality control over cuts, joints, and finishes.
General Contracting: If your custom hidden door is part of a broader renovation, our in-house contractors handle all related construction work, including structural framing, wall prep, drywall, and additional millwork, so everything fits cleanly and seamlessly into place.
Installation and Quality Assurance: Our installation team follows the approved drawings to ensure precise fit and function. After installation, we conduct a final inspection to confirm the project meets your expectations and 1BENMU quality standards.
Materials We Work With
At 1BENMU, we prioritize quality and versatility in our material selections to bring the best to your spaces.
Wood Veneer: Wood veneer, a thin slice of wood applied over other materials, offers an array of advantages beyond just mimicking the appearance of solid wood. Its design flexibility allows it to bend and shape, accommodating intricate designs, curves, and detailed inlays that solid wood can’t achieve. Veneers, being sliced from the same piece of wood, ensure a consistent grain pattern and color throughout a project, delivering uniformity especially valued in large installations. Overall, wood veneer presents a versatile and aesthetically appealing option with a multitude of practical benefits.
Solid Wood: There’s nothing quite like the classic appeal and durability of solid wood. It’s sturdy, resilient, and brings a touch of nature indoors. Solid wood is known for its longevity and with the right care, it can last generations. It offers a variety of grains and colors, ensuring each piece is as unique as the tree it came from. Plus, it adds real value to a home, both in terms of aesthetics and property worth.
