Hi
I'm thinking of making some lockers for a gym. I was thinking of using poplar ply (8mm so that when butt and screw the lockers together it will give 16mm).
The locker doors would be varnished 8mm poplar ply. The main reason for poplar is its light weight. Also i thought that varnished ply should do quite well in moist changing room environment.
What I don't know is what hinge is best. There will be many doors to hang (4 per locker unit) so I'd like to avoid having to mortice any hinges and so thought of surface mounted ones. Are these standard for this type of project or totally unsuitable.
Thanks for all your help!
