Face fixing hinge
Hi All, I'm after some advice. I have an 18mm door, or more accurately will have an 18mm door made of sandwiched 6mm and 12mm ply. I'm trying to fake some cottage doors for a boiler housing; they are fairly small at around 900x350mm each but I need to make 4 of them.
I don't have the tools or skills with hand tools to create a routed/carved door, which I appreciate might be the better option, and the cost of the materials doubles for each door if I push it out to a thicker piece of ply.
So the plan is to glue and sandwich the ply together to give me the style I'm looking for. However, I'm aware that my fixing is likely to sit on the glue line or at the very least on the very edge of the 12mm. I'm concerned that this won't be sufficient—not that I intend to go into the cupboard often, as it's where the boiler and my gas and electric smart meters are.
The first question is, am I overthinking it? If the ply is sufficiently glued together and I pre-drill and screw, do you think it would be an issue?
If the answer to the above is yes, then I think the only other thought (without sucking up the cost) would be to get a cranked hinge like this and face-fix to the back of the door. The issue is I just can't find a hinge like this, and I don't know if it's my Google skills or if I'm asking the moon, but can any of you help?
Or is there another option I'm not considering?
Just as a bit of background info I already have hinge recesses on the frame and I am keen to reuse them or increase their width/height, but I could be convinced to fill and go another route if it results in a flush door fixed properly.
