I'm making a dresser for my son in law and encountered a problem with the hinges. The attached drawing shows the area of concern. I want the hinges to be totally concealed from the outside with the doors shut. The door needs to swing open more than 90 degrees. The door needs to be fully inset as drawn. The face frame and door frame are 3/4" thick material. The door will be 34" tall and about 18" wide and will be made from oak with a raised panel. I would like to keep the inside area as clear as possible since there are two adjustable shelves inside.
I don't think I can use conventional Euro style hinges because they mount to the inside of the side panel which in this case is 2" from the edge of the face frame. All the styles I've found that mount to the face frame are for overlay doors.
Do they make a hinge that would mount to the back of the door and the inside of the face frame that would allow the door to swing open more than 90 degrees.
Any other suggestions for hinges??
Thanks.
