Hinge help plz

[Paul_GPvR]

Hi,

I need to get hold of some 180 degree hinges which are spring loaded. Like the kind you have on kitchen/ranch doors that can swing both ways then spring back to the centre to keep the door closed.

Can i pick these up from places like b&q etc? Do they have a special name which i can ask for?

Many thanks for any help,

Paul

Do you mean one of these as in Cowboy saloon?

Double Action Spring Hinge available from Screwfix.

sounds about right, from the looks of that though the hinge is in the middle between the doors?

i'd need them at the frame side of the doors. so the opening is totally free from anything. if that makes sense.

thanks again

No, the hinge shown is fitted to the frame and the hinged side of the door. If you look at a door in a restaurant kitchen, you may be able to see them in use. You can expect to do some planing of the doors and frame to get a perfect fit.
