If you are not much of a builder and you don’t mind somebody else knowing the location of your secret door consider hiring builders in London to build your secret door for you. In terms of builders London has a variety of building companies which will get the job done in no time.

On the other hand if you decide to build the door on your own here is what you should do:

• Begin by deciding where the door will be located. This way you will be able to decide on the exact dimensions of the door.
• Now head to a hardware store and get all the wooden material that you will need to build the door frame and the door itself.
• Next head home and assemble the door frame. Begin by mounting the top of the frame to one of the sides and then mount the other side to the top. When done mount the door hinges on the door frame.
• Now mount the door to the frame. When you are done check to see if the door and frame align properly. If they don’t you should sandpaper the door until it aligns with the frame immaculately.
• Now that the door is ready you should cut the hole in the wall in which you will place it. If you don’t want to lose time in cutting holes in walls you can consider removing the door of your built-in closet and mounting the door there.
• Once that you have placed the door in the wall make sure that the frame aligns perfectly with the surrounding walls. If it doesn’t sand the frame until it does.
• End the project by painting the door in the same color of the walls in the given room that you’ve installed it. If your walls are covered with wallpaper place the same wallpaper on the door. This way the secret door will remain hidden.
