1. Cost
The doors of the hidden editing, and even more so the secret doors-racks - the cheapest pleasure, they will cost much more expensive than an ordinary interior door.

2. Installation complexity
Installation of a secret door is a difficult task and cheap pleasure, while working must be carried out by masters of their business. By contacting the unqualified workers, there is a risk of installing the door crookedly (after all, even a small laughter will rush into the eyes) or to spoil the door canvas at all.

However, there is a more economical option - to install the most ordinary door, picking it up to the color or texture of the wall. This, of course, will not quite the same, but will significantly reduce the costs.

3. Limited decorative maneuvers
Above, we noted that secret doors open a lot of new features for the decor of the room. However, there is also the reverse side of this item: making it possible some decorative maneuvers, the doors of the hidden editing are limited by others.
For example, you are unlikely to be able to make a bright accent of the room (at least there will be little meaning in this). Or select window frames in one color with the doors. Or pick a noticeable, catchy, asking fittings style.
