Bit of advice on angled blum hinges

[chippy1970]

I am just planning out a wardrobe for a client that fits in a small alcove to the right of a chimney also the ceiling has a small sloped section (ski-ling) about 420mm long.

Anyway the wardrobe is about 900 wide with another 300 wide angled carcase to the left this angled carcase brings the 600 deep main wardrobe unit down to about 300 to meet the chimney breast.

I want to use the angled blum type hinges hung on the left but need to know the exact detail on the hinge side and closing side of the angled door where the door meets carcase and door meets the next door. I do have a few drawings in my Hafele catalogue but it would be nice to see how other people have done this.

I am thinking of simple overlay doors 22mm MDF shaker style as I thought overlay would work better with the angle. If anyone has done inset for this application then please let me know how you did it.


Cheers

Chris

This Blum pdf gives details of their angled hinges for overlay, don't think they do one specifically for inset

When doing an inset door on a 45degree corner cupboard in a kitchen I make up an angled block cut at 45 degrees to take the mounting plate. A normal inset hinge can then be used. The blocks dont look too unsightly as then are angled back into the carcase and not that noticable.
