You Can Get Scrooged Opening a Trap Door
December 5, 2005
Ever try opening an attic door in the ceiling at the top of the stairs with your hands full of stuff? Try spelling headache! So Larry installed a 12V motor with a cable shaft in the attic and attached the cable to the door. Limit switches stop the motor when the door is fully open and closed, and a converter ensures the correct voltage to the motor. Larry can now activate the door from the bottom of the stairs.
