Hello all,
I have a small project coming up where I need to cover a small opening to a crawl space leading from my daughters room to the upstairs heating vents. The space is about 2.5' x 2.5'. I plan on using oak ply framed out with Chestnut. I need to hing one side (at least that makes the most sense to me) and on the other side create some sort of locking mechinism to prevent a 2 yr old from getting in there. I was thinking what are those things that come with cheap particle board furniture that looks liek a phillips head screw on one side but it spins to latch down on a bolt. This is the best idea I have yet on how to secure this. If you know the name of those things or you have a better idea please I am all ears.
