Bolt it to a base, then bolt it to the bottom front corner of the book case. Then just match it at the top, bolt it to the top frame and the same spot on top of the case, level it and hope it swings. I just don't know how much space it will need to open up.
I'll take a pic tomorrow. Unless it's a disaster. Then I'll just have a built in book case I guess. I can't believe how complicated these doors can be. |
So you're going to have a base that you'll need to step over when it's open? Are you hoping to achieve a tight fit look when closed? I'd be concerned about a pivot as you're going to need some clearance either side to account for the arc of the swing. With a normal hinge position you could have a face frame that swings out with the bookcase but with a pivot hinge that edge of the bookcase is going to go the opposite way, binding any trim on the jamb.
