Piano hinge is probably engineered for a horizontal application.

There is a right way to hang a door and a good reason for it. There is a lot of weight and at least some of it is 32 inches from the hinge.

I would recess the hinges, not only for the 1/4" clearance and appearance, but also because I wouldn't want the shear load entirely on the screws.
