[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 512324, member: 21536"] If you intend to install carpet, whether you use a hinge or not, I think it would definitely fill those gaps. In fact, if you intend to wrap the edges with carpet, you may need more of a gap. A long piano hinge would work for that hatch. Just a thought -- instead of those metal straps, consider putting a 1x2 piece of wood along the bottom of the long sides to support the lid. Glue & screw from top or bottom. You could even cut strips from left over plywood to do this. Like this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Diag.jpg"]119638[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
