	Fall front desk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the secretary desk, the fall front desk's desktop panel is in a perfectly vertical position when in its closed position.
		Thus, the fall front desk is identical in shape to a Bargueno desk which would have been placed on a stand of drawers, or more precisely to the form know as Desk on a chest or as "chest-on chest".
		The fall front desk is also called a drop front desk or drop-front desk, and sometimes also a drop lid desk.

	Plantation desk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like a normal fall front desk the work surface must be cleared of all materials in order to raise it in a vertical position and thus close off the small drawers and pigeonholes set in front of the user.
		While the fall front desk evolved from placing a chest, on its side, on a stand made for it, to its exact dimensions, as is the case with the Bargueno desk, the plantation desk form was born by placing such a chest, on its side, on a table a bit too deep for it.
		Some plantation desks have two panel doors instead of a fall front and the ledge is hence much deeper since it serves as the main desktop surface.

	How to Hinge a Drop Front Desk :: Whitechapel Ltd.
		Hinging the leaf of a drop front desk used to be a simple matter of selecting an appropriately proportioned desk hinge and mortising them into the writing surface of the desk.
		Desk hinges are mortised into the writing surface with the hinge barrel projecting up and it is with this feature that today's furniture maker takes issue.
		With their two linked pivots they allow the writing surface to rise or fall and move in and out just as though connected by a short length of chain.

	FRONT DESK
		The front desk associates are the ‘troops’ in the trenches, dodging bullets from difficult guests; taking flak from management for not being able to check in five guests and at the same time, not answering the phone in three rings.
		With the current labor shortage, it is tempting to hire front desk associates using the ‘fog the mirror’ method.
		The front desk associate doesn’t do it out of malice but they may have had a bad day and it is just too much effort to close a walk in when they will be paid the same if they do or they don’t.

		While a butler tray hinge is accurate enough at 180 degrees they are not precise at 90 degrees and in fact will change a little over time furthermore the springs are not strong enough to overcome opening force except on a very small drawer.
		To hold the front shut will require a pair of catches, the traditional choice would be the secretaire catch (Part # 146C61A and 146C61P) though a double ball or magnetic catch may work.
		If the drawer front is unusually tall (more than 8") some kind of stay will be needed to help support the writing surface.
