Hidden hinges on Suburban/Panel rear barn doors?

Has anyone installed hidden hinges on the rear barn doors of a suburban or panel?

Re: Hidden hinges on Suburban/Panel rear barn doors?

I'm trying to think if I have ever seen a burb or panel with hidden hinges. and a the same time wondering what hinges would work. I think I'd be looking at the back sides of full size vans to see if any had hidden hinges because right now I remember that I never paid much attention to the back sides of vans.

The other thing that might work and may even be less hassle is a set of aftermarket suicide door hinges.
