What hinge should I use?
The project is an Entertainment Center. The doors will be mounted
using European hinges and pocket slides. That part is taken care of. My dilema is the doors are so wide that in order to get them to completely retract into the cabinet I had to make the doors in 2 parts with 1 part (1/3 the width of 1 door)l folding back against the other half. So, what hinges to use? They'll be visible whenever the doors are open and I want door sections to fold back against each other as flat as possible. The doors are 3/4 inch thick and I'd like the hinge invisible when the doors are closed. Am I making this too hard and any ole' brass hinge will work? Should I just call Lee Valley and have them tell me what I need? (I know that works but they're closed now so I thought I'd try here first). Any help would be appreciated. Bryan |

You could ever paint it accordingly. |
