Hidden Exterior Door to House [Video]

Now that I own a home, I totally want to do this. If you have a door you're not overly fond of maybe you should hide it in plain sight like this couple did!

Hidden exterior entry door project.

Materials and hardware used to make it:

- Standard fiberglass exterior door.

- Red cedar (won't rot, but lighter than pressure treated). Three 2x4s, ripped to 3" to form a frame to offset the siding, mounted to the door using 3" lag screws and fender washers (fender washers used to prevent the bolts from tearing through the fiberglass door).

- HardiPlank siding.

- Morning Industry Keypad and Remote Deadbolt. http://amzn.to/11adXxk

- Ball Catch (holds the door shut without needing a turn-able doorknob). http://amzn.to/SgZJrU

- Richelieu 1-1/2-in x 1-1/2-in Satin Nickel Surface Cabinet Hinge (two). http://www.lowes.com/pd_173167-93052-...

- Hose bib (used as as the exterior door handle... no working plumbing connected).

- Interior doorknob is a dummy knob (used for pulling the door open but doesn't actually latch).

When you get close it's pretty obvious the door is there. But still that's pretty stinking cool. I'm not overly fond of having the door by my garage door that's maybe 10 feet from my front door. So maybe I should try to hide the extra door, so it's not as visible from the street. Can't be that hard. .... Right?
