Clever kitchen wall cupboard hinges

I have a 300 deep (on plan) wall cupboard next to a 600 deep tall unit, so if I open the 300 deep wall cupboard door, the handle hits the tall unit, just wondering if you can get clever hinges that would move the door away from the side of the tall unit to avoid the handle hitting the side of the tall unit.

    Sounds like you might need dislocated hinges that push out as they open. What make is your kitchen?

    I think it depends on how much your handle sticks out from the door.

    Can you not use a mechanical slide thing (not sure what they are called) that stops the door opening fully?

    Or just a couple of screws and a short bit of chain/string.

    I think I will just go around a few showrooms/DIY stores to see If I can see what may be possible.
