Hi all,
I just made a corner cupboard that has angled sides and I fitted the doors with standard concealed cupboard hinges. After installing them I realised they would not close as the hinge mechanism hits the inside of the hinge as it is trying to close at a 105 degree angel ( I think that's right) and not the 90 they are designed for.

What type of concealed hinge can I use is there one that will close at the 105 degree angle (or more) ?

Attached is an image of what I want to achieve.

I am sure there is a bit of hardware out there that will work but I cannot find it yet.

Cheers
Mark

There are 120° hinges just for this use. B&Q do them.
 
is the door the orange band and the side it's hung on the blue band?
How much do you want it to overlay?

The above hinges in your post are not what you want.
 
Yes something like doug posted would do it, don't get hung up on angles too much as long it pulls it up to the carcase front.
 
Cheers all,

It's a tad annoying as if I thought about it I could have cut the top and bottom shelf to had an angle at the front and it would have looked fine as the doors would have sat on it nicely. Lesson learned for future work though.
