Install Hinges and Mount Panel

What happens here

Attach heavy-duty, exterior-grade hinges to one vertical edge of the newly fabricated access panel. Position the panel within the cut-out opening in the deck skirting, aligning it carefully. Mark the corresponding hinge locations on the adjacent deck framing or a custom support frame built within the opening. Securely screw the hinges to both the panel and the deck structure, ensuring that the panel swings open and closes smoothly without any binding. The video suggests using robust hinges that can withstand outdoor conditions.

Goal: Securely mount the access panel door to the deck structure using hinges.
