Bob W.,
The preceding responses have ranged from very good to potentially dangerous.? Before this thread gets too far out in the weeds, please clarify the purpose and expectations for your train room "door". The photos you provided in your first post were full of great details.? You are your own architect for this "door".

In no particular order I offer the following questions to help resolve your design criteria.
1.? Is the "door" intended to only keep pets, critters and unauthorized persons out of the train room?

2.? Is the "door", when 'closed' intended to support the weight (in the manner of a 'floor') of an authorized train room visitor?

3.? If not intended to function as a "floor", how will you protect an authorized visitor from a serious fall down the stairs should the "door" remain 'open' during train room activity?

When equipped with your answers to the above questions, I hope the commenters will provide more meaningful suggestions.
