Hey all.. wondering if anyone is as bothered by the one handed upper cabinet door maneuver and if anyone has any clever, inexpensive or otherwise groovy ideas to keep the doors that swing up (to the ceiling) in the up position while you look for the bits you need.
Eventually I think we're going to rebuild them, just to ensure we maximize space.. but for now I'm looking for a way to hold them up until I'm ready to shut them again.

One guy, I think it was here, had a clever idea; he took a long coil spring, maybe six inches long and half an inch in diameter, and screwed one end to the door and one end to a block inside the door opening, so that the spring propped the door open. To close the door, he just tapped the spring in the middle, buckling it, and closed the door; the spring bent as the door closed.
