i'm making up some doors to go across a gap at an angle

i will put up some 2x2 as posts and then the 2x40cm doors will go across at angle to the other 2x2 post

problem is i cant work out the hinge i could use

i made a rough sketch in powerpoint exported as a image

and you can see i need a hinge which will open to 180 degrees

i have made a cupboard before , angled - see image - BUT this is different as the posts are not angled - i guess i could angle - BUT still need a hinge

the doors are IKEA 2m x 40cm - i suspect they may have kitchen hinges holes

i think i have worked it out
i will put a triangle piece of wood Arris rail and use that to mount the and use a 170 degree hinge

Blum do a whole range of concealed hinges, overlay etc, one of which will fit, but both drawing show a gap when the doors are closed. Would a single door, with hinges one side work?
 
thanks for the reply , been in touch with blum tech support , they sent a solution
i have a 170 overlay from screwfix - just playing with - may work
yep a gap will exist - not much - drawing just a rough thing to show the idea - BUT the gap is about 84cm and so 2 40cm should do and not have a gap
 
Doors for 40cm carcass are usually only 39.6 cm.
thats a good point had not considered that - i was going to allow 3mm - so i best check the ikea door itself before starting to construct this complicated (for me) thing

i may need to reconsider the 170 hinge , as that maybe a bit to fixed in terms of how it fits and allowances with the door
