Hinge suggestion
« on: June 03, 2009, 09:01:46 am »
I am looking for some suggestions on hinges for the BACK panel of my cab. I need to have complete access into the back since I am doing a rotating cab, however I still need structural stability. Putting the whole back panel on hinge with a gap to open the 'door' would seem to weaken the cabinet and over time perhaps let it warp some. What I decided was to create an inset door in the back piece of MDF (which is 25" W x 52" H).
What kind of hinge system would work well on this setup?

I'm not tied to this plan so if someone has a better idea please let me know, and thanks for any insight.

Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets

What is you didnt go with a door so to speak but a removable panel run a couple of the 1x1 square pieces up the inside so the panel would be recessed and then put those threaded inserts in the 1x1.
Drill out the holes in the back panel and put in some bolts and since they are going into threaded inserts you can take them in and out with no issue.

If you want to go with a hinge check out a piano hinge you will have to add something to the back of the door since MDf would probably not hold on its edge very well.
