Door hinge to allow full opening (180degrees)?
Does anyone know of a door hinge which would allow me to open a door
virtually 180 degrees? Reason I'm asking is that I will have a long narrow utility room which I don't want restricted further because the arcitrave stops the door opening as far as possible. One solution would be to not have arcitrave on the hinge side of the door but I would prefer a fancy hinge if possible which takes the pivot point of the hinge beyond the arcitrave TIA Sean |
