I built a rolling dartboard cabinet for a friend to use outdoors. Because of the cabinet design without a face frame and full overlay doors, I ended up just using regular no-mortise hinges as the doors need to open a full 180* with the scoreboards mounted to the inside of the doors.
The problem there is nothing to hold the doors open nor anything to hold them in place once opened. I was thinking of having something mounted on the top and bottom inside the cabinet door that would have a wooden piece slide through a clearance hole through the side of the cabinet (think of a gate sliding gate latch) and then using a magnet system to hold the door to the slide. Any better thoughts on how to accomplish?
Wish I was better with sketch up as a picture would be worth 1000 words to show what I described but hopefully someone followed along and has some ideas.
