Hidden doors, also known as "Secret Doors", "concealed doors", "trimless doors" or "invisible doors" are interior doors designed to blend seamlessly with the wall. They feature a special aluminum frame that is installed flush with the wall, and the door leaf is painted to match the wall color, creating a smooth, uninterrupted surface.
Hidden doors can be divided according to the type of opening and the type of door leaf design.
Types of hidden door openings:
Secret Doors hidden doors can be opened externally or internally. Doors with different types of opening, which are located next to each other in the interior, can be aligned in height, this must be taken into account, because the inner opening door leaf is smaller on the outer side (due to the quarter).
How to choose hidden doors?:
When selecting hidden doors, it's important to consider the design of the door leaf. Secret Doors are available in three main types: doors with an aluminum door leaf frame, doors with a solid wood core door leaf frame (often referred to as honeycombs doors), and honeycombs doors with an aluminum edge around the perimeter.

Doors with Edge Profiles. For hidden doors with edge profiles, like Invisible Doors, look for a high-quality anodized aluminum edge (not PVC) on all four sides.
