Had someone build a box for an outdoor TV.
It's big, built to hold up to a 70 in.
Because of where it's going we did not want split doors that open left and right and thought one door the swings up would be ideal.
Spent the day staining and mounting it and the swing up door is less than ideal.
The door is 63x40. The bottom of the box is 60" off the ground.
Turns out you kinda need to be NBA player height to open it and I am not even close to that.
Door is currently on basically a piano hinge.
Any thoughts on gas struts or spring loaded solution that might assist the vertically challenged?
I actually contemplated hitting a bone yard and scavenging a lift gate motor system from an SUV but that's probably a stupider idea than the original swing up door.
I can just use lift gate struts to get it to open but then I cant reach the damn thing to close it so something with a motor to handle open / close via a button or switch would be nice/
Thoughts?
