concealed hinges for trapdoor
Hi,
I'm putting some networking connections and stuff under a trap in the floor. I want it to be easy to open up for maintenance, but without any bits of hinge sticking up (trip hazard, unsightly), so I'd like to pull up parallel sections of three floorboards, screw two of them together from the underside to make the door, put some kind of concealed hinges between that and the third board, and screw the third board back down. So the big question is: do hinges exist that can be screwed to the boards' undersides so they are at 180 degrees when the door is closed but will open even wider (ideally 270 degrees) to open the trapdoor? (The usual kind of concealed hinges for kitchen cupboards sit at 90 closed and 180 open.) Thanks for any advice! |
