Lift top coffee table hardware

[skysharks]

Hey folks, awhile ago I purchased a lift top coffee table.
I have loved it since. Now comes the time for me to build one myself.
I really don't want to take apart my existing one(plan on giving it to a family member).
SO I was wondering if anyone here has built one and if so any recommendations on which hardware to use.
I have searched the interweb and there are several out there, but not sure which would be best to use.

thanks for any help.

Hi Mac. Nice to see you. It looks like Amazon has a few options. I think I saw some of this hardware at Ace Hardware once as well. I want to make one of these too, but am waiting on us to buy a house first. My plan is to try and build these hinges myself as they are very expensive. If you have access to any metal working equipment, that may be an idea.

I've twice found lift tables in consignment/antique stores that were less expensive than buying the hardware. Then,of course, used hardware to build my own table. Both tables are still in use years later.
