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

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.

Not quite. I have some parliament hinges one one of my garage doors,
they are designed to move the pivot clear of wall/door.

I don't want to move the pivot but I need the fixing point set further
back on one side than the other.
