Yep! I've devised a "mechanism" involving magnets...
I'll get pockets recessed into the underside of each hatch lid leaving less than 1mm of surface veneer and then backfill each of these with a steel disc and some plywood so that when the hatch is closed there will be no visible handles or fasteners and to open there will be a pair of magnets on handles that will just lift them up...
At least this is the idea...
Cult leader was what sprang to my mind.
So does each one of those squares open to reveal its own little stash box?
