The Bookcase Door 24x80 Paint Grade Unfinished is a real-wood hidden bookcase door designed for homeowners who want a customizable concealed door solution ready for paint or finish.
Built from paint-grade wood and shipped unfinished, this door allows you to match your exact wall color, trim, or interior design. When installed, it functions as a fully load-bearing bookcase while concealing a standard doorway behind it. The result is a clean, built-in look that blends seamlessly into the surrounding wall.
This unit is configured for a 24" door width with a rough opening of 26" and a standard 80" height with an 82" rough opening. The integrated bookcase has a depth of approximately 8-1/4", providing practical shelving for books, décor, or collectibles without overwhelming the space. The door is configured as an in-swing right-hand unit.
This product is not customizable and is built to the listed specifications. Customers seeking custom sizes, swing directions, or shelving configurations should view our Single Hidden Bookcase Doors collection for customizable options.
Each Bookcase Door is made to order and handcrafted from real wood. Hide-A-Way Doors does not mass produce inventory, and lead times may fluctuate throughout the year. This ensures consistent quality, durability, and long-term performance.
This paint-grade hidden bookcase door is ideal for closets, home offices, reading nooks, secure storage areas, or any space where concealment and customization are desired. Every unit ships throughout the USA and Canada and is backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Our bookcase doors are engineered to carry real books and everyday storage items when loaded properly.
For narrower-width doors, we recommend a maximum load of up to 300 lbs. For wider doors, weight capacity depends on proper distribution — with heavier items placed closer to the hinge side of the door for optimal balance and long-term performance.
If you plan to store heavier objects or want additional reinforcement, we strongly recommend upgrading to ¾″ backing, which provides added strength, rigidity, and durability.
Many hidden bookcase doors on the market are built using MDF, particle board, or lightweight components. While these materials may look fine initially, they often lack the structural strength needed to support real books over time.
Hide-A-Way Doors takes a different approach. Our bookcase doors are built from solid hardwood construction and engineered specifically to function as a true, load-bearing bookshelf — not just a decorative cover.
By combining real wood, concealed heavy-duty hinges, and precision balancing, our doors are designed to remain smooth, quiet, and properly aligned even when fully loaded.
Our hidden bookcase doors are designed to install into a properly framed doorway opening. Because these doors are load-bearing and precision balanced, solid framing is critical for long-term performance.
We recommend installation into a framed opening with solid wood studs or engineered framing on both sides of the opening. Doors should not be installed into metal studs or unsupported drywall.
While many customers choose professional installation, experienced DIYers with framing and finish carpentry experience can successfully install our doors. For best results, carefully review the installation guide before ordering or contact our team with questions about your specific opening.
Every Single Bookcase Hidden Door is built using solid hardwood construction — not MDF, particle board, or hollow-core materials.
Real wood provides superior strength, better screw-holding capability, and long-term durability, especially in load-bearing applications like bookcase doors.
This construction method ensures the door remains aligned, smooth-operating, and visually consistent over time, even when fully loaded with books and shelving.
All of our bookcase doors are built to order, not mass-produced. Because each door is handcrafted and configured for your specific opening, production lead times can vary based on size, finish, and current shop volume.
Typical lead times are provided at the time of order and should be considered estimates, not guarantees. This allows us to maintain quality, proper curing times for finishes, and careful final assembly.
If you have a specific deadline or project timeline, we encourage you to contact us before ordering so we can help determine the best path forward.
