Make your first dado in a piece of scrap so that you will have a referencing mark on both sides of the work. The face frame is attached to the case with pocket hole joinery (pockets on the exterior of the case). So for both in- and out-swing doors, I use what’s called a pivot hinge.ġ1. Even though the tendency to sag can be mitigated some with a caster on the strike side, eventually those hinges will become loose and falter. Fo r an in-swing door, you can use regular door hinges placed on the back of the case but I don’t recommend it. The secret to making a bookcase door function is in the hinges.

As an adult, their mystique is still appealing, though having built several of them now their functionality is no longer a mystery to me. Growing up, my mind would race with possibilities, as I’d watch someone unlock a bookcase by tilting a book or some other secretive method on television.
