Mr. Rawles,
I read Joe M.’s article with great interest. The contributors to your site always seem to have creative ideas. I have often thought of ways to conceal a passageway, escape route or just a safe / storage room.
Here are four links to companies that offer hidden doors or panels.

- HiddenPassageway.com [2]
- Hide a Door [3]

Thanks again for all you do. – John G.
James,
Two very good books contain a wealth of hints on constructing and concealing hidden compartments and entrances, covering evidence of work you want to keep concealed, and devising ways to guard against tampering:
The Great Escape [5], by Paul Brickhill (the book, not the movie [6] [which is much more inspirational rather that instructive.])
Escape from Colditz [7], by P. R. Reid
Additionally, they’re great true stories of defiance, resistance, and survival. – PJJ
Sir:
Referring to the article where the writer suggested magnetic locks. Most people do not know of Assa Abloy [of Finland]. I’m not even sure their product is available in the U.S. [Many of] their padlocks are just about un-pickable.
