Limited Time Only Special Offer

Hide valuables, tuck items out of site and even create your own safe place with custom panic rooms and hidden compartments that blend in so well with your home, nobody will even know they are secret access locations. Depending on your needs, there are an endless variety of styles from fully equipped safe rooms to hidden bookcases. No matter the style, Edgewood Cabinetry only uses natural woods to ensure a durable, long-lasting result.

Whether you opt for stain or paint, we’ll color match to get the perfect color for you. Edgewood Cabinetry also works alongside you to design your safe room or hidden compartments based on making sure you can get the most out of your space. Choose from a wide selection of custom accessories as well, such as cabinet organizers and media centers.

Types of Hidden Areas

Both of these are incredibly unique and the style varies greatly based on whether you want to store a few valuables or have a complete room to escape to in an emergency. If you’re not sure where to start, consider these popular styles:

Hidden bookcase – These can be hidden behind a panel in the wall or even the backside of another bookcase. A latch or level allows the bookcase to slide out or even open like a door. These are ideal for storing valuables, such as jewelry, collectibles, money, and more. Custom shelving allows you to store items of all sizes.
Bookcase door for safe room – If you want a full panic room, bookcases are often used as the door. After all, most people won’t think of trying to move a bookcase. A cleverly hidden latch allows the bookcase door to open smoothly, giving you access to a secured room. The door thing closes quietly behind you.
Safe room storage – For safe rooms, you’ll want to add cabinets and shelving for storage. These can look similar to kitchen cabinets for storing non-perishable supplies, including bottled water.
Safe room with media center – In an emergency, watching TV might not be a top priority, but many people want a media center that provides access to their security cameras or local weather stations for severe weather updates. Plus, if you have a soundproof room, a TV is a good way to help make kids less afraid.
Hidden wine cellar – These are often added in basements or the crawl space under a home. A hidden floor panel leads down a short staircase with wine storage around the walls.
Wardrobe with hidden door – If you want something other than a bookcase, add a hidden door in a stand-alone wardrobe. The wardrobe can actually be fastened to the wall. Then, you simply move clothing aside, press the hidden latch, and open a door to a hidden compartment or panel or the entrance to a panic room. This is ideal for bedrooms.
Under the stairs storage – Create a hidden compartment or panic room in the empty area under your stairs. Using patterned paneling hides the lines around the door. However, it’s usually unused space anyway and makes a great area for hiding valuables.
Slide out bookcase – Instead of a door, these function much like a slide-out cabinet that you might use as a spice rack. A button or lever allows you to slide out a bookcase for storing smaller items. These can be as deep as your space allows for.

Wood Paints and/or Stains

Create a seamless look for your safe room access point and/or hidden compartments by ensuring the doors or panels blend in with the rest of the room. Edgewood Cabinetry can color match any color or stain to create the exact look you want and need.

Materials Used for Hidden Access Points

Edgewood Cabinetry only uses natural woods, such as hickory, oak, mahogany, maple, pine, and cherry to create a richer aesthetic while providing solutions that last for generations. Safe rooms entries and hidden compartments are built from natural wood which far outlast particleboard and plywood options.

Hidden Area Considerations

Finding the perfect place for a safe room and space that can provide suitable hidden compartments isn’t always easy. It’s vital to choose an area with enough space that provides easy access for you. Edgewood Cabinetry will work with you to build a solution specifically for the space you have available and your unique needs.

Hidden Compartments and Doorway Options

Go beyond just basic storage for your safe room or hidden compartment by adding in custom accessories and organizers. We’re happy to offer recommendations to make your space even more useful for you. A few accessories to consider include:

Custom sized cabinets/shelving
Drink organizer (for hidden alcohol storage)
Media area
Custom furniture with built-in storage
Built-in latches that look like other items (books, knick-knacks, etc.)
Built-in safe

The Design and Installation Process

From start to finish, Edgewood Cabinetry has a time tested process that will ensure you get exactly the type of panic room or hidden compartment area you desire that is both within your budget, but also offers the most options possible. Careful consideration is given to every step of the process to make sure your project is built and installed within a timely manner, with quality craftsmanship that doesn’t compromise by using shortcuts that diminish the end product.

I secured quotes from Edgewood and a big box home improvement store.  Edgewood’s cabinets were available 3 weeks earlier and were sinficently cheaper then the big box quote.   The final cabinets look awesome and are solid.  Without hesitation I would recommend Pete and Edgewood cabinets. read less

Pete is a good craftsman and uses quality materials.  The 3D visualization Pete provided early in the design process was very helpful to confirm the details of the project.
