The "Not So" hidden door...
So, you bought your door from another company only to install it and find a glaring gap at the top letting light shine through defeating its very own purpose? This is typically known in the industry as "Swing Gaps." All doors need a space to operate properly, which is problematic if your door is supposed to be hidden. Contrary to public belief, the swing gap cannot be concealed with a piece of trim because the trim stops the door from opening properly.
Some companies advertise their doors with the light off in the room behind the door to make it less obvious while others even edit them out of their images. Another dirty little trick some companies do when displaying their out swinging doors is to conveniently leave the door open as a way to make the gap less obvious. Not with Hide-A-Way Doors; with a name that emphasizes "Hide", we felt compelled to innovate.
Enter our unique patent pending design, "The Top Seal." While it may appear as just a minor component of a hidden door, it represents a major milestone in hidden door technology. Outswing bookcase doors have always presented design challenges due to the necessary space between the bookcase top and the trim bottom that cannot be solved by attaching trim on the front. But with Hide-A-Way Door's pioneering "Top Seal" design, this issue is a thing of the past.
