As of right now I have a cloest grow going on because at first I didn't have the space to use the room. Now I have a 14L by 11W room that I want to put 2 3x3 or 4x4 flower and veg rooms in. I want it to be kind of stealthy so I wanted to put like a book cabinet or something as the doors to the 2 rooms so if someone walked in there they wouldnt notice it and it would just look like a small room/office. Im going to make a frame and use drywall so it looks like your avg wall and sound proof it so you cant hear the fans or A/C running. Im going to vent the heat from the lights into the crawl space and have a fresh air intake ethier from the attic or put the rooms next to the cloest and run some ducting into the corner of the cloest im not sure yet.

So now you guys know what I am doing does anyone here have a hidden door type setup that is easy to build into the wall or have any ideas. I tried looking up hidden doors but all I got was a bunch of sites with fireplaces and shit no DIYs. If someone could point me in the right direction or just some ideas that would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advice and happy bongsmilie

I can't advise on an exact door design, but I will say don't make the hidden door too convenient to get to for yourself. The harder it is to get for you, the harder it will be some nosey person. An example of too convenient would be a cabinet on wheels directly in front of your hidden door.

Remember in movies, those rails that people use to move the ladder on in libraries, or heck even in A lobrary you've been in at one time or another when they were worth a shit! Try doing some nifty 1/2" IRON or STEEL rods maybe 1" if your bookshelf is 350lbs + you want at LEAST double the capacity with load bearing, make sure the rods are attached to STUDS preferably beef up your door frames stud work on the inside of your drywall, just add a 2x4 to each and Use some "Simpson Steel L Straps" or equivalent, basically you would have the rails as such that you could Hide them in your wall or ON it with some nice Molding work or a "ledge" with uplights hidden in it to look decorative and classy...and the bookshelf would have the wheel on it hanging on the Rods....Figure it out I guess...Lookup Floating Doors....

why not just a huge bookcase on concealed casters? You can slide it and be fine and cheap, but cool enough.
