What hinge should I use?

Question

I want to make a wardrobe thing which has a door which opens downwards to create a desk. What hinge should I use, to make sure it opens up to 90 degrees and is strong enough to hold something like a computer?

Answer 1

A piano hinge should work!

Although you may want to add folding arms on the ends for positive support and location.

Answer 2

Piano hinge will be fine. Make sure you get a strong one. DIY store should be able to advise.

Answer 3

Both one and two offer the most appropriate hinge, and they do come in a small variety of widths. Number one offers a valid notion for bracing hardware, and that is also available specific to your application.

Just my two "sense"
