Could you be more specific? The constraint is to arrest a range of motion of 360 degrees, or just 45 degrees. The illustration of the whiteboard is also a constraint. An explanation of the lock knob with an illustration would be great.

After google searching in order to gain some kind of understanding as to what it is I am looking at, I don't see how this would arrest and fix a surface.

This is an open-ended question. I don't expect anyone to build this the way I want it built. I know there would be many ways to approach this, but in order to maximize responses, I leave it to each member to answer in a way that is most comfortable for that member. This is a rudimentary problem...

I need the building details. Whatever complete solution you know, please explain it in detail. If you know more than one, start with the simplest. Machinekraft, I need to arrest the board/hatch at any angle

What other approaches do you know? Problems arise in the details. I need detailed parts and plans.

How would I go about creating something like a hatch, that could be arrested at any instance. I am looking for a solution for a 0-90, 90-180, and 0-180 degree range. A 360 degree solution such as a whiteboard, would work just as well. If you know how this can be made, or know a link that...
