Ideas for removable cocktail CP's?

<< < (2/2)

rchadd:
I was wondering whether a larger version of the method to hang clock on a wall - they have a keyhole shaped socket on the back, then maybe using a carriage bolt to fit the socket

more odd ball ideas have included... something like how ski bindings work, or step-in snowboard boots?

come on, be creative and help with this brain storm :)

Yep, I considered that too, and got a little keyhole slot piece of hardware to test it out.  I decided the shelf hardware seemed to hold better (no wobbling), but it depends on what kind of stuff you can find at your local Lowes/Home Depot...

You are right - you still need a static (or moveable) frame.  Since you don't move them all the time, could you not go with something simple like a shelf bracket and that simply screws in or bolts onto the case?

Another alternatives include various types of door or snap latches.  

What might be really elegant is if you could hide the bulk of the locking/support mechanism under the lip of the table top so it is not visible to most players.  This might work since you rarely lift up on the panels with a large force while playing - so control panels hung from the top corner would probably be pretty stable in most situations.  You might need some kind of small latch to hold the bottom down but it need not bear much load.  This would allow swap-out without large visible supports on the cabinet sides.
