loft hatch supports/dampers ?
Hi all,
does anyone here have any bright ideas about suitable methods of allowing a loft hatch to drop down on it's own once opened, so it doesn't fall too fast and hit anyone on the head, or hit a wall etc.? I was thinking of some kind of dampers from a car boot lid perhaps, but if anyone has any better ideas I be glad to hear them. essentially, all I want to do is press a button, which releases the hatch, which then comes down slowly and safely. Ideally, i'd like to press the button to watch it retract again also, but I reckion this would be a bit more involed. I've given only a quick explanation so as not to be too long winded, but i can explain more if needed. many thanks for any suggestions. Graham |
