Control Panel Top (how to detach it?)
RoboG2:
How about using the flush hinges MIKman was talking about along with velcro on the opposite side? Then it would not open as easily. Good Luck.

I'm a little confused... Would I use piano hinges on the inside front OR back and then have another hinge on the other side?
MiKMan: Are those standard "european style hinges" I could get at Home Depot?
I do like the panel clamp idea... perhaps a piano hinge in the front and then panel clamps in the back (it would be on the outside but not visible unless the control panel box was removed)
Anybody have any suggestions?

If you want it to detach, I wouldn't use a piano hinge.
Those are good if you want it to OPEN though.

Hmmm, after going back reading through this thread I've just realized that I wasn't very clear what-so-ever in what I was trying to do.
I didn't mean detach the entire control panel, what I meant was open the control panel to get at the bottom of the controls and the wiring. I want the top of the control panel to swing open, but not flip open while being used.
However those above comments about detaching the entire control panel will also be useful since I didn't actually attach that on yet either.

I am guessing that you only need 2 of these latches, right?
