Hinge problem!

[mailee]

I have come to a full stop on my search for a hinge. what I am after if I can describe this right is a hinge for an inset door that can open 180 degrees but span over one inch as there is a large moulding it has to clear? this may be an upcoming job of converting a drinks cabinet into a TV cabinet. It is a regency style cabinet with inlaid arched doors and an arched moulding surrounding the top hence the clearance needed. Can anyone help with where to get a set of hinges?

I have no idea what type of hinge would suit, but may I suggest giving Blum a ring - 01908 285700. Hopefully they can suggest something suitable.

Good luck!

Are you looking for a parliament type hinge?

Might this hinge do the job?

They go by various names, Parliment hinge, Broad butt or projection hinge.
Hafele are showing a 75 x 75 'projection' hinge, but I cannot find anything smaller tgan 3" which may be a but large for a relatively small cabinet?

Or how about the possibility of sliding pocket doors that open to 90deg then slide back into the unit?

No Mike those only open to 177 degrees and I need 180. The sliding pocket door is no use as the door has an arch that prevents this. A parliament type hinge would be ideal but it needs to have a 1" crank to do the job. Someone on the other forum has suggested two sets of hinges and a false frame which may work. The top moulding is the problem as it stands 1" proud of the cabinet and the door will have to sit back against this. :roll: I do seem to pick em! :lol:

If you angle the hole (for the hinge cup) by 3 degrees and leave the rear of the hinge just proud of the carcass, or put a bit of packing (I estimate around 0.5mm should do it) at the mid-rear of the hinge (thus tilting the hinge by 3 degrees from co-planar with the carcass) you'll have 180 degrees :idea:
