I was originally looking to have a hidden hinge system for a porch skirt access panel. Cost became prohibitive, so I’ve decided to ditch that idea and just make an entire panel that removes when/if needed.
To secure the panel in, I was thinking that Cane Bolts would be a good option, or a spring-loaded bolt of some sort.
I’d rather keep the bolts securing the whole panel hidden, so my thought is to make a couple of pickets that I can pop off real quick to access the bolts.
I’m curious how any of you would achieve this goal? Perhaps there’s an (inexpensive) piece of hardware that I was unaware of? Or maybe an easy-to-make bracket that would suffice?
Things I’ve considered are Magnets or Velcro, but I’m not sure how they’d stand up to the elements.
I know you’re all far more creative than I am! I appreciate your help!
