@Jose-Walsh Thanks for that suggestion. I did look into that but most extrusions are 2 cm and I think they would stick out too much. I think I have a solution: the door hinges that IKEA provides slots into the aluminium frame (which is an extrusion of its own). It uses 2 screws to holf it in place. So, my idea is to use those to hang a frame on. I will use double sided tape to stick the screen but the frame will bear the weight. However, they provide 3 hinges and I need more for the other side. Now, one thing I just learned is that IKEA will send you spare parts for free if some broke. so I will get an extra 2 hinges, hack of the hinge part and use the rest to secure the screen on the other side. Will follow up when I am a bit further along. But of course, to anyone else reading this, still open to ideas.

Magic mirror using the IKEA Hogbo glass door
Hi all. My plan is to use the billy bookcase with the Ikea Hogbo glass with one way film applied as a magicmirror. I know film is not the best but one way mirror is far too expensive for this DIY project. The Hogbo door uses aluminium extrusion border and I was wondering if anyone has ideas of how to attach the screen to the door. I was thinking of using aluminium extrusions but not sure how to go about doing that.
