So my shed wall 3x2 cls studwork covered with 11mm OSB panels.
On the diagram below there's also an 18x94mm door liner and a 20x38mm trim (architrave)
If I fitted the hinges as appears normal, with the buckle aligned with the edge of the door, then the screws holding the other leaf would be aligned with the edges of the door liner and the jack stud which is less than ideal.
So thinking I could set the hinges back slightly (as shown) so that they are screwed securely into the studwork - now I can replace one or two screws with carriage bolts on each hinge to make them more secure.
Any problems with this approach? All I can think of is that the hinge will be under greater force as the door weight will be slightly further away from the buckle, but I can install 3 hinges per door to compensate.
