All, from my research, it looked like building a drop away access port would be much easier than a lift up bridge. The reason is that you don't have to worry about the tracks on the hinged sides binding. I'll try to illustrate this.
You need to make the module with the hinge on it at an angle on it on the side opposite the hinge. You may also need to cut the track at an angle.

Man , those are really good piano hinges with the wide flange. Might have application for our Passage module. Bill
