T@b 320BD Cupboard doors after pulling microwave

We pulled our microwave and I build new cupboard doors.  Built entirely from what I could find at Lowe's Hardware.

The wood is poplar, 1/2"x6"x24" boards.  They're actually lighter and less grainy in person (iPhone camera did this automatically), so they blend nicely with the rest of the wood. 


The other night I was lying there in my bed, looking up at the stars, and thought "Hey, wait a sec, where the heck's the ceiling!?!"

    Nice job! Very clever idea to make them bi-fold.

    Very nice work!

    Have you road tested them yet? I ask because when I replaced my air conditioner (which was in that same location in older T@Bs) with a cabinet the door would not stay closed on the road, even though I had installed the same latch dohicky used on the other cabinets. I ultimately had to add a thumb screw so i could effectively bolt the door closed whiled in transit. Just something to be aware of...

    @ScottG Yeah, I was wondering about that.  But the hinges are very stiff; that is, they resist opening up to a point.  So it's really not the magnetic latch that keeps the doors close but rather it's the hinges.  The latches just keep it "clean".
