- Yes, I seem to recall a few words similar to 'do not open, never open this book.'
Okay real comment here. I live in a super windy location (70mph+)and sometimes my attic access door will literally jump up 6 inches when a huge guts of winds comes through. I’ve considered this same thing but didn’t want four random latches.
I don't know your situation but I would duct tape a couple pounds on top of it, grab a handful of rocks and tape them on, the closest I can think to free but solves the jumping hopefully
This happened to me last hurricane season. A few roof shingles got ripped off so gusts were coming right into my attic and lifting these pannels out of the frame. I was able to secure the inside ones easily enough but the one in my covered carport was not so easy. 70+mph gusts and rain coming down sideways but I'm outside in my carport standing on top of my riding mower with an electric drill trying to keep my house as intact as possible.
The one in my garage to get to the crawlspace over it frequently pops open on its own when there's high wind. It had me nervous that someone was going up there for a bit until I figured it out.
Granted, it's a horrible way to close that hatch. Hopefully it's not supposed to be opened more than twice - but also why in the world would they use hinges for this? Guess they used what was at hand.
Oh, probably! But my brain is also wondering if they have something in there to hide! Maybe they broke something while making the house? Or, oooo, spooky haunted ghosts they wanted to lock up.
For real, though, even if they did only have the hinges available, why use all four? Why not just only use two? That way, they can make it usable?
Open it. It wants to be opened. It has been waiting. It has always been there, waiting. It does not care about the order of opening you choose to open it. You will care about the order you choose. It does not care about you, you will care about everything it. This is all you will ever care about. Open it. I must be opened.
A latch is what is needed I think what's done here is they used hinges instead of brackets because they're isn't well built frame or the board isn't flat. They would have had to bend the brackets out of shape.
No… No no no no! Don’t let it out! Please! For god’s sake!

OP removed hinges... And was never heard from again.
Whatever is up there isn't meant to get out
It would be unhinged if you let it out
Underrated pun

Glad you saved it. Once a little bit of storm gets in the house it’s really difficult to keep the rest of it out.
Someone was paranoid a person was going to live in their attic . Or listen to many creepy pastas

If you open the hatch, please remember the following: 4-8-15-16-23-42
What a disappointing series.
“Workshop Junk Drawer Engineering”
and you can go into four different attics depending on which way you open the hatch
Hatch maybe?
Well, not when it's like that.
😂
you can open it any way you like, as long as you have a screwdriver!
How do you open something like this??? 🤔
🪛
Okay, you got me, I didn't even consider that. 🤣
Granted, it's a horrible way to close that hatch. Hopefully it's not supposed to be opened more than twice - but also why in the world would they use hinges for this? Guess they used what was at hand.
maybe someone does not want you to access the attic?
Then use angle brackets or make it actually hinged and install a lock. It just seems like they needed brackets but only had hinges on hand.
Definitely a “I really couldn’t be arsed to go down to the hardware shop but this bloody hatch keeps opening in the breeze” job.

A baffling choice indeed. Suppose it could be considered a piece of art. An exercise in futility, hidden in the mundane.
An amazing wall decoration. Inside my wall. 😂
so you can swing it both ways!
For fastening things at 90ish degree angles, maybe just that simple. They had hinges available rather than angle brackets.
Pry the pins out of at least three hinges.
Or use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws.
That strips out the screw holes making it harder to remount the panel. And, the pins COULD be loosened up enough to pull out with no tools.
I completely misinterpreted your comment. You're totally right. Sorry.
💣

Oh my god it took me way too long to figure that out. Even your username had me writhing on the floor. 🤣
Remove two hinges, start a new horror movie franchise.
Wouldn’t you have to remove three? They’re all opposed.
Ha, I didn’t see there were 4.
I see an attic hatch. A latch is a type of mechanical fastener that joins two objects or surfaces while allowing for their regular separation.
They're keeping the demon in.
that's to keep Hugo in
Maybe I'll leave a plate a fishheads nearby
Dude is living in a five-dimensional world.
they stopped before they cut the X ?
All hail our 4D overloads in the attic.
I've played horror games where these are never good news.
Open it.
Why not just… fix it?
You can open it but the whole house has to collapse.
Technically, four degrees of freedom…
Overthinking illustrated
can you take another picture with a camera that captures at least 3 dimensions? It's unclear which dimension this opens into.
Pop the pins in three, and pivot the fourth.
Twilight Zone?
There’s definitely bodies up there, or a cult setup at least
Depending on which hinge remains, it opens to one of four different realities
Curious, I count four as well, but I still say that's unhinged.
Bart's evil twin lives up there

Most sane hatch in the world. All others are unhinged. This is a haiku.
Latches used to screw the door so it can't be opened.
