some advice on fitting a 180 degree opening door needed

[stringman]

Hi all
Its been a while since ive been on here but a new (old) house means I am back.

Bit of an unusual one and difficult to explain so bear with me.
If you look at the diagram hopefully it makes sense.

We have an open plan office which, at the moment includes the top of the stairs area. This helpfully has the radiator on the wall which stops us putting the door in the standard position.

What I was hoping to do was fit door A to the wall as shown and for it to swing across the stairs and block it off. but also to be able to swing back past 90deg to meet Door B.

now bearing in mind I would ideally like the door flush to the wall when it closes off the stairs is this possible using wide butt hinges or something similar or would I need to put a frame on the wall to prevent the door catching the wall.

Any advice would be welcome
Thanks

probably not you need a landing behind the door a square the same size as the stairs width
although my brain is frazzled at the mo
as this is commercial the regs are more strict

 

[stringman]

when you say landing to you mean a door frame?
its not commercial the room is just used as study

 

[big-all]

ok home office

the landing is a floor area on or connected to stairs to give safe transition from one area/level to another
if a door opens out onto the top off a flight off stairs you need a square landing between closed door and step

Ok I see what youre saying now
thanks

Looking at diagram radiator presents no problem?

 

[stringman]

The radiator does cause a problem in that we cant have the door shutting in the normal position.
As the doors will only really be used when someone stays over, the idea was to have two doors that meet in the middle, then I realisised I could use one door to shut off the stairs and then swing around to meet the other door to shut off the room for privacy. It will very rarely be shut at all.

Have one door in position B which opens back against the fireplace?

Sliding door running along the wall between the office and stairs?

 

[stringman]

Foxhole:
the problem with that is that then the fireplace is blocked off- hence the 2 small door meeting in the middle option.
Chud:
that could work but I would have to cut a notch out to fit the radiator.

But what I really want to know is how I can fit a door with 180 degrees swing.

thanks

Soss hinges can allow 180 degrees, although pretty expensive

Use a parliament hinge??

Nozzle

 

[stringman]

thanks nozzle and magic.
would I need to use a baton to move the door from the frame or can I screw direct to the frame?
