well, I just thought "aha, that's where I saw them" and took a photo, just in case you wanted to see - there were more important matters to be attended to
They are hinges, they allow doors to open and close, more than that I can't say, I don't recall them ever being used for quick door removal
So, If you really want, I can send a photo

Your original post made me consider fitting them to a couple of doors I need to replace here. So I searched and searched. Found this US site - it certainly has a huge range of hinges and might provide enough of a brand/model id/description to help:
No - I couldn't find what I wanted. :-(

Many thanks - the very ones. The radiused hinge flaps also lend themselves to using a Router to cut the recesses. Perhaps a factory installation rather than a chippy on site doing it the conventional way.

Is that a makers logo on one of the flaps?

Those are exactly the same as mine...
They are made by TrioVing, a Norwegian company. You can find the items in their Produktkatalog
Page 213 for the hinge part (Item No. 2010-Standard) Page 217 for the door part (Item No. 2465)
I too though they were designed for mass/factory-produced doors given the nice router-friendly corners.
They must be available over here, seeing as several of us have them :o)

Well done Inspector Fred! With the number of Router fans in the UK I am surprised that more hinges don't have Router friendly corners. Perhaps our 'professionals' are traditionalists. I am now thinking that a builder imported doors with frames and all fittings from Norway. I cannot see a down-side to them can you?

Don't know that I'd fancy hand-holding a router up to a door frame in situ.... Let's face it, square corners are much easier to cut with a chisel :o)
I'd say you were right. The strike plate has rounded corners too and the cut-out in the frame for the catch to drop into has been done with a router. These are obviously factory produced items sold as a complete kit, rather than the 'make it up as you go along' method...
Nope.

Just looking at the April 2008 Premdor catalogue of doors and windows. On page 64 it describes their DorKit replacement door kits that consist of door frames and pre-mounted doors - with hinges described as:
"Hung on white or bronze effect hinges, which offer adjustment of door to stop and removal if required."
Photo is not easy to interpret - too small - but they do appear to be asymmetric which might mean they are generally of the type mentioned earlier. Wondering if those earlier ones came from a similar source?
