re: Barrister style door - Will it bind?

I’m still waiting on a go or a no on this one. I submitted a proposal last week, and its supposed to be presented to the owner of the company next week. We are replacing our current vendor for our vending machines and such, and the current cabinet belongs to him. I’m excited about this one, mainly because of the door style. Everyone’s advice has been awesome, and I will keep you posted once I know yeah or neigh.

lwlllms – Your post got me searching, and one of the first articles I found after searching the term barrister bookcase scissor mechanism was this article:

It has the details of the scissor mech, as well as a band parallel mech, which seems a bit more complicated than I’m currently up for. I found some scissor mechanisms on ebay for around $16.00 that are off older bookcases, but the seller says they are rusted. I’ll see if I can’t find a source for them, or maybe try to make it myself from thin bar stock.
