Hinge(s) or ???

Question

Hinge(s) or ???Working on a little organizer. Shaped like a simple miniature bookcase, 2 sides, 2 shelves, about 15" square with depth of 5".It is designed to have a 'door' over the lower shelf. Such door will fitinside the lower shelf dimensions and I am having trouble figuring whatkind of hinge(s) would be appropriate.Thinking the 'door' *could* sorta fold into the upper part of the lowershelf if I could gind the right hinges.Ever see something like this that folds up kinda like the front of aroll-top desk or certain bread-boxes? Involves mounting runners inupper part of shelf. Know what the hinge/runners are called? I'mbrain-locked. Tried the Rockler catalog, didn't see anything thatreally filled the bill.  Thx,  P"Law Without Equity Is No Law At All. It Is A Form Of Jungle Rule."

Flipper door hinges?

Read your question again and you could also be referring to tambour doors.You generally see these in "appliance garages" in kitchens.

Thanks. If they're available in small enough sizes, they will be worth looking at.

You know hinges/guides, etc? There's one with like just a straight rod and a free- turning nut/guide. Name??

Cheers, P

Many thanks to Swingman and dadiOH for naming such doodads, steering me in the right direction.

I'm not finding them locally (St. Louis, MO, US) but at least I know what to ask for. Will likely order via net soon.

Danke, P
