Default Asymmetric hinges, do they exist, do they have a special name?

Those are rather like the kitchen door hinges with a virtual pivot point
located away from the door and arranged by a clever multi jointed lever
system that also has the closing and notch for keeping them shut.

If they don't exist then I'll have to make do with some flush hinges
which are sort of 'near enough' but may not be very robust.


There are things called "parliament hinges" which you can find with
google. Perhaps not exactly what you want but they may be suitable. I had
to use them for our back door so that it would clear the kitchen
cupboards.
