Hi, I'm looking to see if there is some special kind of hinge that will allow a regular (pine) internal door to open fully so that it is flush(-ish) against the wall that it is hinged to.
With regular hinges the door will only open until it comes up against the architrave/skirting.
Parliament hinges ??. I.e. hinges where the pivot pin extends out further than normal flush fitting hinges.
I think ?wide throw hinges? are the things you?re after. They will stick out when the door is closed though. See

Yes. I've forgotten what they're called, but you'll find them anywhere that sells hinges, including Screwfix.
shop hung?
Thanks everyone for such speedy and spot-on answers. These are just the things I need, though I can't see them at Screwfix. Wishing all a good weekend.
Parliament Hinges. Screwfix only sell expensive fire rated types. Tool station have these in stock.
sure. offset hinges where the hinge line is a few inches from the door centre line
Still got the latch/door knob to worry about.

the offset takes care of that too
I bought some a while ago but can't find the details.
There are two types. Parliament hinges as already discussed, but also "Projection" hinges, which were the type I got.
It took me ages to source the right kind.
I wonder how they got that name? Brian
