Went cheap and threw this together for one of my ATBs. It's 2 sterilite totes stacked together.

Fabulous idea! I need to build one asap! Where do you get the plastic hinges? Does the plexiglass window mount flush or is that why the hold-downs are on the opposite side (from the hinges)

http://www.usplastic.com is where I got the hinges.

My door doesn't flush mount. Because the plastic is sort of flimsy, I opted for the door to have a 1" overlap and the simple post latches hold the door tight against the opening so I'll have no escapes.

How are the tubs held together? That is a great idea!
