Sort of Pop-up
Sep 4^th, 2008, 9:02am

I am looking for a piece or pieces of kit that is operated by radio remote control. I want to be able to either open a pair of doors or a single door vertically or horizontally exposing a television. And a second piece of kit that again operated via a radio remote control to bring the television to the viewing position (push the TV out of the cabinet).

I want the mechanisms to be able to fit within free standing furniture i.e. every thing must be housed within the cabinetry.

I all ready use mechanisms that lift televisions out of a cabinets (pop-up) and have already asked the suppliers of these but have drawn a blank.

Any ideas would be gratefully received

No

Used them on this project. The bolection mouldings concealed what was left of the gap.

One door is at the back of the bar and the other is at the far end sorry no photo.

Don’t forget you can get these type of hinges for overlay or inset doors.

Generally there are two types of concealed cabinet hinges ( as used on kitchen cabinets etc ) these are known as push to close and push to open. The push to close hinge as a positive sprung while the push to open as a negative sprung. The push to open hinges are for handle less furniture doors and are used in conjunction with a independently mounted spring / holding device to push the door open when a small amount of pressure is applied.

The doors can be mounted flush to the frame they don’t need any excess movement what so ever.

Push to open concealed hinges are available for inset or over lay doors.
