The big box stores did not have them when I was looking - I installed cabinet doors similarly in an old house I was remodeling. Old cabinetry had their doors inset inside the frame like yours. Wish I could remember the name of that hinge, I would tell you what to ask for. I found mine in a smaller hardware store in a small town. Good luck.
