I want to add a narrow hinged vertical panel to the side of a tall cabinet door, but not sure what kind of hinge will do the job.
Without describing the whole project the idea is for the panel to lie along side and be connected to the 2m door making it wider, but fold in flat when the door is open, the insides together. Imagine it a bit like a bi-fold door without the top/bottom rails etc. Want a "door like" gap between the panel and the door when closed so from the front the panel looks like a narrow door. Door and panel 18mm particle board with veneer.
Should I use a continous/piano hinge? Would back flap hinges be better? is there some other concealed hinge, more like the kitchen cabinet hinges with euro mount, that would do the job. Totally confused what to look for.
