I've got a couple of 36 inch by 6 foot french doors I want to uses for building a wall unit. I've been thinking of mounting the door with european hinges. Blum makes hinges for thick doors (upto 32 mm) so that parts not going to be a problem. I am worried about the weigth / width of the door... even with 5 hinges. Has anyone tried this? any advice?
The manufacturer will have a weight rating for the hinges.

IOW, and based on that, I would think that five Euro hinges of the type you mention would be more than sufficient for the purpose, if that helps any.
I made a concealed 32" + wide closet door in a vertically oriented tongue and grove covered wall using 3 or 4 of these hinges. It was a hollow wooden door covered with 3/4" T+G oak. Floor to ceiling, quite heavy. The door looked like it was part of the wall. It was held shut with a push latch. The gap between the door and walls was so small you could not tell there was an opening in the wall until you pushed on the door and it sprang open.
They are in my ex-wife's house. If there was a problem with them I would here about it.
