Have new hardwood floor going in...access to crawl space in closet is
thru a opening in the floor as was impractical to build in other entry
and there's very little likelihood of this area needing access
anyway--no plumbing, wiring, etc.

Q? It would be kewl to have somthing like a lever or handle release
with a spring load or something similar to raise one end for access when
needed so don't have to put a set of protruding handles in the floor.
It is back in a closet out of traffic area, but still would be better to
be flush.

Anybody got ideas for purpose? I've not found anything yet truly
outstanding...
