In Their Words

We succeed only when we meet & exceed or customers expectations. At Creative Building Resources, we have a passion for manufacturing and service excellence and strive to achieve that goal with each order. CBR will continue to lead our industry by example with creativity, enthusiasm and loyalty to our customers. Here is what a few of them are saying...

"Having used your 'Hidden Passage Doorway' twice now in two residences which I have built during the last couple of years, I wanted to let you know how pleased I have been with your product and your service. My last use of your “Hidden Passage Doorway” was for a cherry wood example made to look like a bookcase. The door blended into the bookcase perfectly and hid a wine cellar in a million dollar plus home that I sold last November. I am certain that a portion of the reason for the sale was due to the hidden wine cellar you helped me create. Thanks again!" —John E. White, Owner, Western Properties, LLC

"The Hidden Passage Doorway offers a great solution to hiding away unsightly rooms from public view or secretly concealing those rooms needing privacy. Instead of using a standard door on storage or linen closets and HVAC mechanical rooms, I've started using the Hidden Passage Doorway. The door easily blends in with the rooms décor and appears to the unknowing eye to be nicely trimmed-out, built-in bookcase. But with a slight press to the wall unit, the bookcase swings open to reveal the hidden closet or room on the other side. "The door is heavily weighted, and I haven't had any problem with its mechanics." —Dave Hale, Hale Development, Boise, Idaho, 208-385-0111

"I simply cannot say enough good things about the hidden door that my husband and I purchased from Creative Building Resources. We recently built a new home with a castle mofit. Well, no castle is complete without a hidden room so we went to Bill at CBR. He created a beautiful solid oak bookcase for a hidden door into the master bedroom. The craftsmanship is fantastic and the door swings open smoothly even loaded with hardcover books. That bookcase/door is everyone's favorite stop on the tour of our home. Thank you CBR!" —Karen Crossley, Home Owner

"Thank you for your wonderful work providing Syringa Construction LLC with the Hidden Door product. We have been extremely pleased with your follow-up, sales, service and installation. THe product is just what we were looking for to accent our homes and we receive positive comments regarding the door from every potential buyer that views our homes. Thank you for your help." —Steve Hanson, Syringa Construction LLC

"We ordered two hidden doors for our newly constructed home--one for under a stairway and one as a main entrance into a guest room which will be used by grandchildren and adults alike. We chose the guest room for a hidden door because we knew that our grandchildren would go wild over a hidden door! These doors have been a big hit with construction workers, family and friends. We are just thrilled and so pleased that we chose to have Bill and Scott make our doors--they took pride in each door and made them "just right" to suit our needs. We were so pleased we found their website and highly recommend their doors." —Jane Vanderwilt, MN

"Of all the companies I have contacted I have been most impressed with your response. Not one of the other companies have asked questions that you have to ask a complete picture of what our needs are. Thank you for taking all this time." —Brandy, Lurray, VA

“We commissioned Bill Morgan to design and build a door resembling a ticket booth for our Art Deco home theatre. Not only was Bill a joy to work with, the door is spectacular and is the highlight of our new home.” —Jack & Camie Beebe

"I want to thank you for the Hidden Door project you completed for the kitchen remodel job provided by Kodiak Ridge Fine Homes in Coeur d’Alene, ID. As you know, this remodel was extensive and the 'cornerstone' of the project was implemented when I saw your product at the Home Show in Boise. I knew then that this was something very special that I absolutely had to have and it’s what got us started on this entire project. It’s absolutely beautiful and probably worth considerably more in esthetics than the cost to produce. We spent a considerable amount of money on this project and when all is said and done, the high point is the “hidden” door that opens into our basement apartment. When our friends see it, they marvel that they’ve never seen anything quite like it and it has become the high point of proudly showing our kitchen." —John Mann, President, Northwest Cedar Concepts

"The hidden doors have been a big hit. Thanks!" —Wright Brothers, The Building Company
