Hi,
We're currently making one of those murphy-type tables for my daughter. When it's on the wall it looks like a picture frame, when it comes down the top parts of the frame become legs etc. I did envisage attaching it to the wall using a counter flap latch - which would be easy for her to operate by herself. Unfortunately, due to the thickness of the table plus the thickness of the frame/legs the counter flap catch is not long enough (by about 30mm). Looking around the internet all of the counter flap catches I've seen are a standard size. Does anyone know where I might find one with a longer length or have any other suggestions for attaching it securely and easily to the wall please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
