need a good way make the back of my cab accessible (no hinges?)
hulkster:
lock it on to what though? ive seen the various locks that are used on the back of upright cabs, and im wondering what the "latch" (underside of the lock...opposite key hole) hooks on to to keep it closed. and also, if i have one lock installed at say, the top of the door, what about the bottom? put another lock on it?
hyiu:
assuming you have a lock on the top....
you can always use 2 of those magnetic catch to hold the bottom... get the heavy duty ones... they're strong...

on a cab that I build... I drilled a button hole to put my finger in to pull out the back board... and the board just uses 4 magnetic catch to hold it in place.... (well... yes, still have a hole... not perfect....) so... depends on what you want....
hulkster:
hmmm, i was thinking of just using the magnetic thingys, but wasnt sure how well that held. that would be a great way to do it. im assuming you can get those at any hardware store....or even walmart for that matter?
hyiu:
if you get the heavy duty ones, and install it correctly so that the metal piece actually "cling" to the magnet... it will be held well.... (during normal 2 player MAJOR playing.. it will NOT fell off....
but usually... places will sell a few types... (being 1 of them is heavy duty...) just make sure you get the heavy duty one.... (and not the cheapy one....)
I have 4 of them (near the 4 corners...) and it holds well...
I have tried to shake the cab, and I can not shake it loose... (of course... with the monitor and stuffs in there...
I did rock it so that it shakes.... within normal means... but I'm not trying to tipp over the thing... heeee heee....
