Cabinet top with a door in it ?

Post by Joe Harkin »

Need to place a hinged panel in a cabinet top for a pop-up. Essentially an inset flat door cut into the middle of the top.
Suggestions on how to do it / show it in eCab ? Be nice if the door/panel could be rotated for display purposes..... In this one the opening needs to start 3/4" off the back edge.

Yes,George, that's pretty much what I'm trying to do. I finally used a modified FF for the top - only way I could figure to place a "door" in it. And my cabinet isn't deep enough for equip in front (your drop-down drawer front), so I put in a separator panel (using Kerry's up-down stretcher idea) using the front compartment for DVD/Video storage
I'm using bifold pocket doors so I need the side compartments for the pockets. The lifter I'm using is the Whisper-Ride, but I don't have an image file for it.
Do you mind If I ask where you got the lifter image ? And how did you do the cabinet ?
Here's my cabinet assy file for a look-see

Hi Joe I made the left about 2 years ago.
It's all in the Zip File.
I will look at your Cabinet Monday morning

Thank you very much for the pics and cab files, George. I guess I still don't understand uploading/downloading usable files.
The files are there but I can't quite figure out where to put them so that they open properly with eCab. I better go back to the how-to instructions...
BTW the one you made up ( a LOT quicker than I did) looks nice. Hope I can figure out how to load and play with it.

Thanks again, George. I think I'm getting it now. I'll play around with it a bit.
