Door Catches/Hinges

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Whilst trying to assemble to doors I was stumped! I have no idea why, but it seems that the door hinges no longer line up?! In all honesty I was never happy with the door hinges as the door didnt open fully and it was going to be slightly difficult to get out. I also never liked the external hinges! So I scrapped them!

What I have decided to door now it to make the door removable. The idea being that the top of the door has a aluminium plate with a return that hooks under the door aperture and then the catch locates the door at the bottom at both the front and back.

The first component is the arm to operate the locking rod that runs along the door. This has to be slotted as the pin in the original locking rod would bind up as it would be forced to move through and arc.
