(ps: I routed a push button hole as the pull....) but I guess if you use those cabinet catch where you can push and it'll bounce out... you shouldn't need any catches at all... I'll try to post some pics in a few days if you want.... (a contractor is currently fixing my basement floor... very BIG mess right now....) --- End quote --- yeah if you dont mind, take some pics. anything will help! |

well... pics need to wait a few days.... :-\ (as said before, my basement is in construction right now... estimated date of finishes... 4/10/04 Sat...) but here is a few links that will help in the meantime.. these 3 seems to be hinges that you don't need to route a hole for the hinge... it just screws on... and that's it... I'm using one that can only open 90 degree... (cos I didn't find any other at the time in HD....) take a closer look or possibly send an email to rockler and ask about them before buying.... (if they need to route a hole first...) but I think you'll get the idea.... http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/product_details.cfm?&offerings_id=5218 http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/product_details.cfm?&offerings_id=5270 http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/product_details.cfm?&offerings_id=10765 and this is the catch they're talking about.... http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/product_details.cfm?&offerings_id=135 hope this helps in the meantime... ;) ;D |

I installed those things for a front door on my cabinet (the base opens out to provide full access to the PC inside). The door binds at about 45-degrees because the hinges are made for doors that flush mount and are not inset. I ended up living it but plan to fix it some day when I fine tune all the other little problems I created for myself. My door looks like Hulksters'. Both sides are inset. You'll need a hinge that swings the door out so that it will clear the sides of the cabinet when opening. I have considered turning the door into a "hatch" held on with magnets. Just pull and the whole hatch pops off. Or consider using turn-buckles on the outside to hold the panel in place or remove it as necessary. |

make it like the back of an upright cabinet. Just a door and a lock. |

inset... what exactly does it mean ?? and it fits almost perfectly.... opened or closed... (but I'll have to take it off later and drill a speaker hole...) |
