juvera: A flush fitted door doesn't necessarily has flush mountings. Mounting refers to the hardware: hinges, handles, kickplates, etc. Flush hinges are common, but flush handles are more likely to be found on cupboard doors or trunks./ and car doors :-)

Gary D: may be different here as flush fitting doors have no protusions at all including handles and hinges. This same question has been asked before.
