How to Hinge a Door to Open 270°

This method works well for entertainment centers etc.

Method #1

This approach to 270° opening is popular for entertainment centers and the like. The door swings open on its pair of hinges to 180°. At the point where the door would normally bind (180°) the hinged vertical element of the face frame releases itself from a magnetic catch and allows the door to continue its swing to 270°.


Method #2
