    Flush mounted access hatch that opens up —Mike Kollross
   Aha! I had an epiphany. When I posted this hack: (URL) question was raised if it could be done so the door opens up. The height is identical to the original. 3 bricks high. The first picture is a little fuzzy but the second has the guts of it any (...) (20 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.space, lugnet.town)

     (...) Indeed you did. But (and you're probably going to hate me for hurting your brain like this), can you make it open...sideways? (20 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.space, lugnet.town)

     (...) I'm out of my league here - SNOT is very not me and neither are trains :), but I figured this was too good to pass up. I don't know if Mike can do it, but I just did it in 2 2/3 bricks and 4 studs wide, opening sideways :) Here's the pics to (...)

     (...) You're right. I had seen the catalog entry on Bricklink but never actually checked it out. None for sale..No ever sold.... Lotsa people have 'em on their wish list though. :) Mike (20 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.space, lugnet.town)

   (...) I thought I'd figured this one out at the time: (URL) Though admittedly, yours is a plate lower than mine. Do current postboxes have hollow studs or not? Mind you, current technic 1x5 plates don't have holes in the end... Jason Railton (20 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)
   
        Re: Flush mounted access hatch that opens up —Mike Kollross
   (...) I had read your solution but I have to admit it didn't make sense to me at the time as I don't generally use the technic part you listed. Seeing the pics makes perfect sense. Very slick solution. It also has the advantage of being 6 wide. I (...) (20 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)
