Our 2002 Ti fiver had an open cabinet where our old TV lived. When we got rid of that, I got a piece of wood cut to size (a bit taller and wider than the opening), rounded the corners,, stained and varnished and installed with 3 brass hinges. I was going to use piano hinge but couldn't find any that would put the screw holes further than 1/4" from the edge. Because the hinges had to mount on the slide framework, there was a gap of about 1 1/2" between the cabinet face and the door so I put 1 x 2 trim on edge around the cabinet. Drilled holes in the door for the cable and electric cord and put TV mount on by using nuts and bolts instead of the long screws that came with it. The door is held in place with 2 brass hook-and-eyes.
With this project, I gained another cabinet so install a wire shelf and moved lightweight games into the upper cabinet which left room for our files in the bottom cabinet.
This was an open space where old TV lived. Added shelf and got more storage space
Twice as much storage now
Finished door
TV all mounted
Next project - louvered doors here
