Update #11: Woot!
Hello all!
Got the 2nd sample in the mail yesterday night.
Great news; issues from the first round sample were resolved, it no longer feels lethal (the edges on the first one were sharp). It's little lighter weight an and a little more matte, both of which I like a lot better. Some issues with the hinge were worked out, and the only thing that remains is a trip to Home Depot to find the right screws for the hinge (the ones the manufacture provided, the head was a little too large, and weren't the best option to allow the hinge to close fully. I switched them out for other ones and we're good though, they are just a little long). Sorry If I'm rambling! Basically we're ready to place and order really soon! Now for new pictures:
A couple things to note.
1. I set this one in a little, but that is totally optional, it doesn't have to
be set that far in, and in fact for the hole marking template, I'll design it so frames will be set in about a .25 of an inch, (the hing being flush with the outside edge, but not proceeding)
2. I've got a piece of cardboard in their now which I had measured out for a backing order I'll make // I'm going with black mounting board, which will be rigid but thin.

Update #9: Working Sample
Hey everyone!
So we've made great progress! Here are photos of a working sample I'm testing out. There are only a few small changes—mostly to the screws—I want to make. Otherwise I think it fits well, works well and looks pretty good. It's slightly more industrial looking than I had originally envisioned, but it feels nice an solid. The spring clips for holding things in place work really well also. As far as the backing, currently what I have here is a little heavy duty, so I'm going to explore some other options. Let me know your thoughts and or questions. Here's a link to larger versions of the horizontal images if anyone would like. http://imgur.com/a/Kc7rM
As far as next steps, after these small revisions, I'll start full production. As soon as I have a timeline for that I'll let you know. Thanks guys!

Thanks Joel, some of the edges feel a little sharp, but the pull is folder over and is nice to the touch.
