One of the reasons I had avoided using the 1x2 tilt bearing hinges turned on
end like that is because I like piece economy when I try to design things,
esp. in bigger ships that seem to frequently use real doors. Turning even
one of those hinges for one door seems to me that it would require a few
special pieces so that the hinge can be attached by both its studs and
sockets. But if it works for ya, who am I to argue? :)
