What type of hinge would work here ?

Curious Geroge

Attached a picture of a mirror I'm trying to hang to hide an opening.

In the pic the frame around the mirror (door in the image) is larger than the opening so to have it swing open (push outward) to prevent the extended frame catching the wall. I need a different type of hinge. Can anyone tell me what the name of this hinge would be ?

The opening is 79cm wide. The mirror is 94 cm wide. The weight of the mirror is 20kg.

Pop into B&Q or the likes, they'll stock them and you can see yourself how they fit. That size will allow ~20mil overlap of the door against your opening.

Or a cheaper way is two butt hinges joined with 18mm MDF in the middle to create a double hinge, so you end up with an S like hinge

Would some heavy duty kitchen cabinet hinges not work for you?

Or does the mirror have to be centred across the opening? If you could move the mirror further from the hinge side, so you only overlap the opening by 2 or 3cm and then the remaining 13/12cm on the far side.

Another option I seen used is 2 drawer sliders top and bottom - Mirror slides to one side.
