I've got a box framed mirror mounted on the wall. Its about 14" wide by
60" tall.
I'd like to add some hinges along one side so instead of being hung on
hooks (like a picture) it can be swung open away from the wall.
The problem is that I don't want visible hinge pins.
This is the general arrangement: https://imgur.com/a/QXNkSdC
Is there a way to do this simply using an off the shelf hinge?
Thanks!



Sure is. This is what I would use.

I was going to suggest these also - but thought they might
require a a thicker "door" material ... his mirror box edge
looks to be only 3/4 ? or less ?

Also - they would need to be mortised into the wall - hopefully at a
stud .. hollow wall anchors would be awkward.
