NOVEL DOOR HARDWARE

[PIVOTAL]

I joined this forum to learn stuff from others. I seem to be talking to myself and 'E'. I'm not learning as much as I anticipated. I suspect this very promising part of the Code Forum is just me & him. I think I should take my bat and ball and go home. Any suggestions?

Here in the States Soss hinges have typically been used for secret panels.

Paul, Thanks for the comment. I think, without diving into the Soss catalogue, you will need 3x Soss No. 216 hinges for about USD $100.00 total, however they do need time and care and a sound timber door frame to secure them into the jamb. I had a go at making engineered Nylon pivot hinges some years ago and the price for a pair of the pivots would be about USD $15.00 for a set of 2x plus postage from Australia. I suspect for secret doors in the USA you wlll get a better deal with 'Ezy Jamb' frame & hinges (another great Australian product design). For the record the image below has a 'pretend' paint roller which is an old drawing tube covered in towelling and painted green.
