I have replaced two heavy TVs using
bi-fold door hinges, they caused 1/2 the gap of piano hinges on oak frames I made. The method of closure was
a pair of draw latches on each side of the flip up panels. My cost was $3.00 each for the latches and $.50 each for the hinges at an RV salvage shop. I still plan to add lift "shocks" to each panel to more easily use the gained storage behind the TVs. My TV's have a 4" high pop out grilled panel across bottom of the cabinet to gain access to additional accessories that require remotes. By removing it I can reach the latches on the inside of the cabinet.
