Those look like European Hinges. Their are many manufactures, styles and offsets. Lowes and Home Depot sell some inexpensive ones.

Is you friend right or left handed? If right perhaps on the other side would be a little easier?

Exactly what problem are you having?
Not opening properly, not closing so that the hidden panel does not show? Drooping under the weight of the gnu?
Hard to say exactly, but it looks like it should be a full inset application. This requires the right hinges and placing the mounting plates properly. Normally, this would include space for bumpers, but this application probably does not use them, so the mounting plate may need to be moved backwards to account for this.
I would use good quality hinges (Blum or Hafele) and build a mock up from cheap ply in order to verify the locations of the mounting plate and the cup hole before building the final product.

I am using a set of hinges similar to these that I got at HD. I have never used this type of hinge since I don't build much, if any, furniture that requires door. So when I bought them, I was confused about the terms full overlap, half overlap, etc. So, I'm not even sure that I got what I really need. As far as what problem that I am having is basically just getting them mounted correctly. And my friend is right handed.

I want the frame of the box to close on the wall, and the board where the gun is mounted, to be inside of the frame.
