IKEA wall corner units are really designed to bridge 2 runs of wall
units at 90 deg. The result is that the standard hinge supplied only
opens so that it is in line with the hinge side of the cupboard,
(presumably to avoid collision with the door in the adjoining unit).
ie When the door is shut, the standard hinge is resting at an angle at
135 deg to the cupboard side & only opens to little more than 180 deg.

The cupboard I'm trying to fit will be on its own in the corner & there
is also limited access on the non hinge side. So I'd like to find a
hinge which will allow the door to swing open from its 135deg shut
position to 270deg. That would allow you to see right into the cupboard
standing at the side.

I have tried B&Q 180deg hingss but they won't stay shut at the 135deg
position.

BTW Ideally I'd like to keep to 'normal' style kitchen unit hinges,
like those which came with the units, but which handle the opening
angle differently.

Any ideas welcome. TIA
