hi all
i'm building a cabinet to store my model making paint the cabinet is going to be 1ft deep with doors closed the problem i have is the doors are going to have 6in deep shelfs and 18in wide 3ft high the cabinet is going to be on top of a base unit i need the doors to open 180 degrees the cabinet is going to be made of 18mm ply or 25mm pine i have heard of full wrap around piano hinges but cant find them in the uk any help would be great

many thanks
martin
 
Plain bog standard butt hinges or piano hinges will if fitted right will allow the doors to open 180d, I prefer butts my self.

Or have I miss understood your problem?
 
i think for the layout i have in mind butt hinges would be better the cabinet hinges as the shelf's will be filled with paint bottles and wont have much of a gap at the front for a hinge like the cabinet one
