Cabinet New Doors and Hinges

Just bought and fitted some 6mm MDF panels on the front of the cabinet to replace the plywood ones that were there before.  The MDF ones are a lot more solid and aren't warped like the plywood ones.  They should also provide more support as we want to use the top door as a light weight table as well when opened.


To that effect I also bought and fitted some side hinges - the sorts of things that go into old fashioned bureau desks.  These stop the top door opening more than 90 degrees and give it some support when open.  It won't hold much weight but should be enough to handle a kettle and a couple of mugs when required.


All that remains to do now is to cover it with a wood veneer but I'm going to wait until the van has been carpeted and the mains hook up and split relay charge fitted first as that will involve cutting holes out for the power sockets to fit.
