Im not planning to go the hinged route since I have multiple panels that will need to swap, so I've been thinking about a method to secure them as well. My first try was going to be industrial velcro like the project arcade book uses. If that doesnt work I'll have to try some latch type system with underneath access. |

For a fully-removable modular setup, I'd use 2 on each inside edge (assuming a square box of course). Cyapps - hinging the front edge is still possible and usually better even with an overhang - you never flip a panel all the way over anyway so raising it to vertical is fine. With your cab design anyway, hinging at the back would likely not work as you have to think of the lifted panel fouling against the monitor glass - here's what I mean if you have trouble visualising: |

Thanks for the replies guys. I think i am going for a hinged panel now. I can always add extra securing points if it seems necesary. A piano hinge seems the easiest to do, but my preference goes to the european hinge. We actualy use those on all of our closets and on all the doors of our kitchens. I will have to investigate if I can do it on my CP. Anyone has some guidelines? Distances etc? |
