Need special hinges

 

Need some special hinges, possibly some Euro-style ones.

Problem: Installed a kitchen cabinet that is behind a piece of door
trim. (There was no other way to do it.) There's just enough room (~1")
between the cabinet and trim to mount the door, but not enough room for
the door to swing with a regular hinge.

The contractor who did most of the other work on this project told me to
look for special hinges that would move the door laterally before
swinging it to clear this obstruction. So far, I've had no luck trying
to locate it calling around locally. I even called Rockler and asked
them. Closest thing they have are "flipper" hinges, but those won't work
here.

Anyone know of such hinges? I'm guessing they would be articulated to
slide the door sideways first before swinging.

Any help much appreciated to get this project finished.

Well, you da man. Or at least my first reaction was "you da man!" when I
saw that page. At least until I saw the price for the hinges that might
work (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page"155 ):

$150 a set! No frigging way.

But you still the man for finding that so fast. What I wonder is why the
guy I talked to--*at Rockler*--said they didn't have any hinges that
would solve my problem. I explained the situation clearly.

So now I'm scratching my head, doodling and wondering whether a
multi-leaf hinge (like this:

A sketch/top view of the problem would help, I can't visualize what
the problem is.
