I've got a box framed mirror mounted on the wall. Its about 14" wide by

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 agree these Hinges are great although hard to fit and carve in properly to line them up, they conceal nicely .
I would refrain in using them on too thin if a wood edge where there is not much structure of wood surrounding the hinge.
You could use the smaller size to insure good structural integrity.
these Hinges of themselves are quite rugged but in soft woods like pine they can tear up the wood and loosen after repeated opening.
That's my take on this hardware Choice
