Previous question answered very quickly and helpfully so here's another

Where can I buy REALLY SUBSTANTIAL door hinges? I've got 4 seven foot
by two foot heavy doors that are going to be hung as a double hinged
pair so all the weight of two doors will have to be supported from one end.

Also I'd like the doors to fold right back against the wall and I think
I'll need a gated hinge to do that.

like so:

Doors shut

wall doors doors wall


________ _________
________|---------------|_________





Doors opening

wall doors doors wall

/\ /\
________ / \ / \ _________
________|/ \ / \|_________





Doors open - Actually I'd like them to fold backfurther but am limited
by ascii art

wall doors doors wall

\\ //

_______\\ //________
________| |_________




thanks again

Look for Parliament hinges. I think 1½ pairs of 102mm on each door would
probably do it OK. I think the screws into the frame will be the weak point,
especially the ones for the top hinge.

Agricultural Merchants. (Must get that on a macro)

If that's too ugly, wrought ironwork from your local ironmonger is the
best bet. Made to order if you're particularly fussy.

Forget the DIY sheds for heavy stuff.

For a minute I thought you were talking about some offshoot of Sun Valley
and got a very bizarre image!

You've not been to Mole Valley Farmers, then.

MVF stock sandwiches, milk, soft drinks (by the 24 tin tray) and
chocolate!

I also get all my sausages, cheese and bacon there, all locally
produced and better than supermarket stuff! [1]

I'm also an avid follower of MVF Fashion, buying 90% of my clothes
there.

[1] Exception being Potted Stilton from Fortnum's. Every christmas I
treat myself to a pot of this stuff, it's truly sublime.
