We would like to hide the door to our new downstairs Cloakroom buy using 6 panel doors as the wall that will be the side of that room and to conceal a cupboard for coats.

The doors need to butt up against each other and we will use push-push catches to open.

Question is, what are the best hinges to use on such doors, I'm thinking kitchen ones will not work as the doors will be too thick to allow clearance and also pretty heavy.

Has anyone done this and has a link to what we need?

Other ideas on what to use instead of a ready made door also welcome.

It will be 4 six-panel doors for Cloak and cupboard.
Looked at the SOSS hinges but they work out more that the doors!
Anything cheaper?
Thanks

I was thinking I would need four pairs for the doors when in fact two will be fixed and I will only need two pairs so no so bad, also found similar hinges alot cheaper than the ones I looked at first.
Camoradi, How do you fit those pivots when you have a fixed frame and floor below, do they spring in?

presumably kitchen cupboard style hinges from the likes of Blum etc would do the job nicely?
They're not rated to carry that much weight.
