Trying to solve a problem and would appreciate some support and ideas.
I need to mount a glass door that is to hang on two different hinges, one glass/glass and the other wall/glass. The manufacturer of the hinges doesn't seem to have intended these to be combined, which results in a larger distance between the wall and the glass door at the wall/glass hinge than between the glasses at the glass/glass hinge.
Now I need to combine these and I'm wondering how I should do it. Should I let the glass "hang out" by about 6mm or should the wall/glass hinge be recessed into the wall? The goal is for the gap between the glass door and the wall/glass to be roughly the same and not as it is now, 4mm between the fixed glass and the glass door and 10mm between the wall and the glass door.
The drawing might help to understand what I mean.

Interesting, thanks, but I don't understand how making these cutouts helps. I tried to build a model hoping I would comprehend, but I still don't.
The starting point is that the hinges must be aligned above each other so that you can open the glass door. If one is shifted in or out, you can't turn the door.
The upper glass protrudes 5 mm. The alternative I'm considering is cutting into the wall and thereby moving the attachment of the lower hinge inwards. This way, the upper glass can also be moved in the disturbing 5 mm. But cutting into tiles is not very appealing...
I would very much appreciate you reviewing the drawings for the cutouts you sent and see if it's just me not keeping up, and if so, please clarify!
