You can make this a bit easier by joining the two hinges together , like this but obviously wider apart ...
note also , that the hinge pivot point is back about 50mm from the opening ...this will need a bit of trial and error working out ... but it gives you a starting point ...
Hinges are a right pain to sort out sometimes but look effortless once done ... |
Gary - thanks for the advice. I saw that piece of wood you have mentioned and it make sense to lift the hinges to make a clearance. I will experiment with this when the time comes.
