A double action hinge is really no different that a regular one. Simply place where desired, mortise them in and install. If it is confusing, look at it as if it was only opening one way at a time. One direction it uses the outside part of the hinge and for the other direction it uses the inside part. As long as you install each hinge on the same edge or in the same direction they work the same as a regular hinge. You are limited as to the thickness of the door you are using and there can not be any door stop as the door must swing both ways.
But there is a floor mounted double acting hinge that does require a little bit of preparation before installing: http://floorhinge.doorlocksanddeadbolts.com/

How do you change a 2000 s10 door hinges?
Difficult job to do in your driveway. The original hinges are welded in place both on the door and the cab pillar. The welds have to be drilled out and the new hinges are bolted in. The alignment is critical. The upper hinge halfs on the body side require removal of the dash assembly. There are kits available to rebuild your old hinges while in place. The kit comes with new pins and bushings. Either way you will need a door spring compressor to remove and replace the door spring. This tool is inexpensive and can be purchased from your local auto parts store for under $20.
