Type of hinge (name), been asked to build

[LinuxRandal]

I've been asked to build a room divider, to replace the ancient one that was given to a business. That thing is falling apart, yes at the hinges.

They want it to function the same, so I am looking for the hinges and don't know what they are called. They allow it to open, in either direction. So you can bow it to one side or the other.

Thanks

Something like this? http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=266

Double-acting hinges. (Chris types faster than I do.)

There are several types, however ... some are large, and have springs, intended for things like restaurant kitchen doors. Others are small like in the Rockler link. They need to be sized to the thickness of the stile, too. Point being, be sure to carefully specify what you need.

Lowes, and HD both carry them. Some brands have the door mount on the side, some mount on the door end.

Just got back in. Thanks all, NOW I know what they are called, it's a LOT easier to find them

Me trying to explain to some high school borg kid (you see I need this domahicky hinge that does this and this)


Headed to the wood show tommorrow and possibly Rockler, So I'd like the excuse to go there.
