CP Hinge Front or Back?

Yeah, I have seen it in most of the cabs, I just couldn't figure out why they always opened forward instead of the traditional way....now I know.  Cheers

You are 100% correct.  I hinged the back of my control panel.  The control panel is right up against the cabinet so I can't open it all the way.  Everytime I want to mess with something inside the control panel, I have to go inside the cabinet, release the control panel clamps and remove it from the cabinet.  Well you live and learn.  For my second cabinet I will not make such a dumb mistake.

Mmm, it's natural to want to open that way.  Sorta like cars: you can't get under 'em as well, vs those foreign ones in the 70s that opened by the windshield, but you can get to the front of the engine.  The uncommon difference with panels is that the guts come up with the top.

Glad I posted this!  Now I will make sure to open from the back!

Believe it or not...I almost hinged mine on the side...so it swung open like a door....
