Does anyone know if you can get 26mm sprung cupboard door hinges that open beyond ninety degrees? I want to make my bathroom cabinet door open as close to 180 degrees as I can get. The larger size for kitchen cupboards are easy to come across, but can't see any in 26mm.

ETA, I want a 26mm versio of this:

Thanks thumbup That would probably do the job, but would require some woodwork skills, of which I have none. Needs morticing into the door. Was hoping for a straight swap with the existing hinges, which go into a 26mm hole in the door. If they were the larger 35mm there'd be no problem, I can't understand why they don't do it in the smaller size.

Can you not make the hole larger? Seems most suppliers for 26mm only go for 90-965 Deg.

If not, presume this is what you are looking for?

Dammed if i can work out how to order them though!

With a small amount of drilling, you could use some of the concealed hinges in this catalogue. Depends on the weight of the door and material.

Ebay offers 110 Deg, but i would be wary of that claim...
