I am designing my first cabinet and am trying to select hinges. My doors will be full overlay (I'm figuring 1/2"). The panels will be glass and I plan to use 2" wide rails and stiles (although I'm not sure if that is wide enough). Anyway, I am trying to select hinges and I found these:

Although listed as overlay hinges it is not clear from the picture what is face frame and what is door. I like the idea of a concealed hinge and no mortising but I can't visualize how they work. Does anyone have experience with these hinges and can you explain what I'm looking at? Since my stiles are 2" and the inside of my face frame is 1 1/4", will they work for me? It appears to me I don't have sufficient area for these hinges but with no dimensions shown how can I tell? Thanks.
