Please log in for more thread options I have a TV inside an entertainment center with doors. I would like a remote door opener that would allow me to open and close the doors. Any help would be appreciated. Jim | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options What you need is call a linear actuator. The lenght of stroke will depend on the geometery of the cabinet doors and force required to open them. They are usually sold in kits with mounting hardware. You will have to come up with the control strategy and circuitry. Look here for a start. http://www.firgelliauto.com/show_info.php?page_id=20 Opening a cabinet door is similar to a TV lift that has been allowed to rotate along a vertical axis. | ||||||||||||||||
