"The hinges look offset, what is the reason for this?
Is it for the door seal?"
Yes. When using T-molding to trim out the door edges and then add some kind of door seal, the T-molding and door is put in a "bind" in the closed position without the offset ... with the offset, there is no "bind" and the door seals evenly all the way 'round.
"Won't the door stick out?
How much will it stick out?"
Typically, only 1/8" ... you don't even notice it, and if you run drip-molding down in front of the hinge (tied in nicely with the drip-molding over the top of the door), it's noticed even less.
"Will you have to seal the door Steve F style with an inner lip?"
No ... they're designed for use with T-molding 'round the non-hinge sides of the door(s).
"Are they available without the offset?"
Yes ... if you are planning to use a Steve F style inner lip. It really all depends on your chosen build-style and desired look for the finished product.
Oh, and Mike? THANKS!
CHEERS!
