Dorr Hinges

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the name/type of hinge I require... basically the door is flush to the opening and needs to clear the edges when it opens.

Basically, it needs to move "out" as it swings open so that the hinged edge doesn't catch...

Is that clear as mud or is it OK?!

Thanks,
Phil.

Too add:

I don't think normal kitchen cupboard hinges will work as the doors aren't usually flush (but please tell me if I am wrong!!)

PS Sorry about the "dorr" in the title! b***er!

Normal kitchen hinges are termed "lay-on" as the doors lay ontop of the carcase, to hinge the door inside the carcase you need "inset" hinges, these are basically the same type of hinge but have a cranked arm.

Try http://www.isaaclord.co.uk or http://www.woodfit.com

Order one of their catalogues at the same time as this will give you the hole positions etc.
