hidden_door - A secret door object.
/std/door
A variant of the door is the /std/hidden_door.c. It is not mentioned in the room description when closed and the exit is not in the "obvious exits" list. It can't be opened with "open door" either, and must instead be refered to with the name set with set_name(). It is a good idea to have this name mentioned in some add_item description in the room. Otherwise it works as the normal door.
Look in /examples/doors3 for an example of a hidden door.
