In the void underneath my stairs I plan to box part of it in but have
access via a concealed door. the door would be a framework and
plasterboard. The top/bottom and `latch` side I am ok with as a facing
strip of wood will conceal the `join` . My main concern is the hinge
side and my best option (that I can see) is using pivot hinges so that
the last couple of inches at the hinge side swivels inward as the door
opens outward.
Any thoughts or ideas on this?

How about the type of hinges used for kitchen units, which allow
adjacent doors to close tightly together.

Or, if it's not used frequently, have a panel without hinges and use
magnets to hold it in place

What is it going to be used for? If its opened rarely then simply make it a
hatch and take it off when you need to get in.

Don't ask. You don't want to know. ;-)

Why? Do you need to conceal a priest?

The reason for it is I currently have a load of electrical tools that I
dont use much and are stored in an alarmed outdoor shed but will slowly
rust.The other half wont let them indoors unless they are out of sight.
So this is a convenient space to use. Now if I store them there I dont
want them nicked should I have a break in hence the reason for
concealing it. Will also be useful for stacking any valuables if going
on hols.


Previous poster, I will have a look at door kitchen hinges and see if
that would suffice. Although the magnets would work I would prefer a
fixed door.

Yes, he's a moslem and is an obvious terrorist suspect now.

Soss hinges recess completely into the door edge and are not visible
when the door is closed:

Thanks Colin.

They do, but IME of small ones they are weak, especially when stressed like a door hinge.
They're not cheap either.
