I recently converted the GE 7cf freezer from HD with painted 2x6's and chose to make it double hinged (stock hinges connect to collar and door hinges from collar to lid.) I did this because I would like to maintain the ability to revert the freezer back to its original condition. Everything works fine except I need some way to keep the lid from falling back when I lift up the collar. Again, I am looking for something that won't damage the lid, so the obvious choice of just drilling an eye bolt and a hook are out.
