    Hey thanks man. I use your video and created a trapdoor for basement steps. I used 2 30 inch actuators and it works perfectly . I use 4 of the hinges because I made it open up the long way. I'm about ready to put hardwood floor on top so nobody knows it's there . I'm going to stagger it. Thanks again

      @HisWayHomestead 4 года назад +2

      Dave and maybe an emergency light that comes on if you lose power... I know it sounds like a lot, but if your child is in there and the door is down and you lose power, it’s dark and they are locked in and you can’t even open the door from above.

    This was what comes of falling down a rabbit's hole of research! I'm writing a cozy mystery and desperately needed a trap door in a black box theater ceiling that was operated by remote. Been banging my head against it for weeks trying to figure out how to do it. Then just for the hell of it, I googled 'remote control trap door'. Don't ask me why I didn't do it before. This was TOTALLY what I needed! You are my Hero!

    Great Video-I want to be able to open and close with a remote control, a cabinet flip up door that houses my split system AC/heater. What model actuator did you order from Amazon. The cabinet door probably weighs no more than 10-15 lbs. I'm limited on space between the split system and the side wall of the cabinet. Am I able to install the actuator on the side wall and how thick is the actuator? What other parts do I need besides the linear actuator? I take it that a 12v battery won't work with a remote control.

    • @SSLFamilyDad
      @SSLFamilyDad  Год назад +1

      That is the one flaw, I set it up so that the range of the piston ends close to when it is closed but if you hold the button down it pulls it closed hard and could break the mounts. You just have to know to stop it when it is closed

    @philippetardivet9788 2 года назад

    Thank you for the video. I do have question, when I try to open the trap door the piston pushed and when I close the piston retracted the trap so much and the screws coming a part of the framing. Any Idea what, to do to make a work perfect. Thank you , Philippe

    • @SSLFamilyDad
      @SSLFamilyDad  2 года назад +2

      I had that issue a little, it would pull too tight and pull on the screws. The trick is to put the piston all the way in and scree it in while the door is closed (you have to be on the inside) then it can’t pull any further than shut

  • @totenkopfelite88

    Would something like this work for a larger trap door? Something like 3'5"x 7'2. This will be more of cellar door type thing. Two interface doors…so the framing would be part of the door.

    • @stevebabiak6997
      @stevebabiak6997 7 месяцев назад

      Better to use gas struts to do the heavy lifting, let the actuator just get the lifting started. Gravity helps to close things.

      It isn’t strong enough to crush anything but there are no safety mechanisms with this setup so it would just struggle until you stop pressing the button

The incandescent bulb needs to be a scrapped because of the dangerous heat /fire possibility of forgotten & left on . ALSO , remove the manual light switch & swap it out for a compression - off when door is closed & on when door is opened . NOW your project is done ...🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍I did enjoy your video , thanks ...
