I have an area where I want to put a cafe door. As most of you know, the standard hinges for those are pivot hinges...pins in the top and bottom of the hinge stile fit into holes in "L" shaped jamb brackets. I like the ones where the bottom hinges have a shaped plastic part that lets the door ride up and then drop down when it is open to the max, thus keeping it in that position until someone closes it. Addiionally, it allows adjustment when doors are closed so that they can be aligned. Like this...
The only way I can think of to accomplish what I want is to mount the pivot hinges on a hinged piece of wood which is positioned as a casing would be; i.e., offset from the jamb. For hinges, I would probably use these cabinet hinges because they are self closing and fasten solidly...
I do know that there are offset pivot hinges that allow 270 degrees but they don't have the "stay open" and alignment feature of those I favor. At least, I haven't found any that do.
What I'm looking for from you folks is input relative to the efficacy of my plan and/or other solutions.
Thanks
