Doesn't have the double cranked wossnames.

That's precisely my problem - I can find hinges with various crank
arrangements but none suitable for fitting a flush door into a
face-frame type cabinet - except the standard style mortice hinges -
but these require more skill to fit and also the doors are MDF which
do not hold screws very well in their edges.

The hinges shown in the URL look so useful that you would think some
UK/EU supplier would stock them but I am beginning to doubt it.

I wonder if these would work

if you reversed the inner plate and bent the outer one.

I did consider that approach with something like these :-

but the thought of trying to make a good clean bend in the right place
and then the possibility that it might crack/weaken at the bend
discouraged me.

In the end I bought some from the US website I found - paid the USD
8.99 standard postage + USD 29.90 overseas postage supplement (gulp!)
and they arrived in just under two weeks .

So simple but perfect for the job! Don't know why they're not sold in
the UK. There do seem to be Blum type hinges that would have done the
job but you need a good few cm clearance on the inside face of the
door frame and then you need to drill a large round shallow hole to
fit the other bit and I s'pose it probably only works well if you have
bought their special drilling jig to line all the holes up correctly
etc.....
