hinge joins top to base - steel guide rods hold top at 90 degree angle allowing for easy serving of unit. Folding Steel retainer bands to hold poly bags (the bags sold by Larsen's Coin Laundry Sales under "Soap" section of this website fit perfectly.)

You also need one readily available (not in the back room) fire extinguisher for every 1500 square feet or portion thereof. If you have an 1800 square foot Laundromat, mount two extinguishers. If you're worried that they'll be stolen, take out the glass and paint the inside of the glass. This reduces the number of people who steal extinguishers to those willing to break the glass without being certain there is an extinguisher inside. Out of sight, out of mind works in this case.
