I'm designing a stand for an antique Edison cylinder player for a client. We were thinking of concealing several pull out shelves for cylinder storage. For cleaner lines we thought to put those shelves behind a single door. He wants the legs canted towards the inside. My initial solution was to place tapered filler strips inside the leg so I would have a place to put my hinges as this allows for a rectangular door opening. He wasn't crazy about the fillers and asked if those could be eliminated. That leaves me with trying to hang a trapezoid. I can't seem to figure out how that can be done, or IF it can be done. To my mind you'd be opening the door 'up hill' and all it would want to do is slam shut.
Any ideas?
Here's a quick drawing of the initial idea.
