Kitty Proofing

We got the door to keep our cat from damaging the sofa in our family room. Amazingly, at 22 pounds, he was able to open the door. One step further and we just installed the book latch. He hooked his paw around the cable and opened the door again! Not giving up, our nephew mounted a thin piece of wood to curve around the cable on the side of the door and it worked. Phew! We love the door, the book latch, and we can now enjoy our family room without fear of the cat destroying the couch!

Good concept, subpar quality of the 'book'

The original Hidden Door Book Latch included a very nice 'book' which not only looked like an actual book, they had a hidden compartment inside. Their vendor went out of business and now the versions of the 'books' they are currently shipping are exceptionally cheap products [note that the hardware is good]. These versions are little more than just a block of wood; they do not look like a book anyone would have on their bookshelf at all; they do not have the hidden compartment; and they are not up to the caliber of the other Murphy Door products. The concept is great, but the included 'book' is remarkable cheap and poorly executed.

The door latch book didn’t fit the bookcase door I ordered from you. And no one has responded back on what can be done.
