I have the same suggestion that Julie noted: Rocky Hinge Company. Just google the name and you should be able to get all the info.

I would make my own mounts and use a Linear Actuator hooked up to a switch easy enough.....here is a website that has Linear Actuators: dunno about pricing you may be able to find cheaper elsewhere just using as an example:
