Van,

Before you grab a piano hinge you might want to check out KY Steve's blog. I was wanting to use an MCI-style hinge on my doors and Steve's is very close. Actually his is better. More Prevost-style I think. The MCI has a hinge at the top and a pivot point at the bottom. Steve's is hinges top and bottom. It's a little more work but I think it is worth it. I'm not a fan of piano hinges.

If I had the luxury of being able to engineer them that way I would have to agree ,steves design is very trick and functional but for right now a set of swinging cafe doors would be a step in the right direction(I hate my double doors :lol: ).

Hmmm... Let me think it over...

OKAY! Come on over and get it. I'll even throw in all the sides, windows, and caps!

(I'll refrain from the joke about needing the extra 6"!)
