What Is a Blind Door?
A blind door is a door that visually blends in with the surrounding wall surface. These doors have no knobs or operating devices that identify them as doors, and may or may not be operational. The terms hidden, disguised, or blank may also be used to describe a blind door. To help conceal its presence, the blind door must have the same finish as the wall where it is located. This may include paint, wallpaper, paneling, or drapes. The door itself can be made from many different materials, including wood, steel, or plastic. If a blind door is hung on traditional butt hinges, the frame is typically concealed. Some units may be hung using hidden hinges or pivots, in which case no frame is needed.
