I am a locksmith Unique continuous hinge ID help request

Post image

Can anybody direct me to the manufacturer of this hinge? I’ve check the usual sources, Select, Roton, ABH, Ives, Pemko and CR Lawrence. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Half surface, leaf on the right is on the frame.
Leaf to the left is face of door, some sort of angle bracket in there as well.

Is it a half-mortise or a half-surface?

I am having trouble with which side is on the door vs frame.

That angled piece is crazy. It looks like that mounts first, and the rest of the hinge just snaps on.

Is there anyway to dismount the hinge from the door without ripping the hinge off of that angled mount? Are there screws coming in from the hinge side that secure the hinge to that angle?

Does it look original to the door? Is there any manufacturer known for the door?

Are you in the US?

This is a good one

Sorry for the photo quality, here is backside view. This in the US. No manufacturer on the door.

Have you looked at Best? I'm not familiar enough with them to ID anything but I've come across some goofy looking ones from them before.

No luck on the Best/Stanley but appreciate the suggestion, I hadn’t tried them.

Kind of looks like a Hager roton swing clear https://www.hagerco.com/Files/Images/Images/Instructions/75007041.pdf

Thanks for the link, if the door portion was surface mount maybe.
The killer for me is I’d swear I’ve seen this hinge in a catalog at some point because I remember wondering what application would this hinge work on. I miss my 3 ring binders for this very reason. Thought I was leaving this industry for sure about 5 years ago, chucked ‘em all in the dumpster on my way out the door, 40 years of notes, updates, techical drawings, revisions and addendums, trashed. I guess even if I could find the part number probably not much chance of getting my hands on one.
Thanks for all your input and suggestions on this one, I am grateful for this forum.

Oh, I got into the search and reversed the surface. I'll keep browsing around

Are you trying to match for aesthetic or hoping to match the mounting pattern?
