Have new hardwood floor going in...access to crawl space in closet is

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...

There are few pretty cool "floor doors" sprinkled in with the "wall doors"
in the first video at this link and in some of the other videos in the side
bar links.
