An enhanced hinge and method pivotally and removably connects a member from a structure. In one example, the hinge and method retains the member using a first hinge piece coupled to the structure and a second hinge piece coupled to the member. The first and second hinge pieces may be configured such that the second hinge piece is retained inside the first hinge piece in a closed position and is not free to be decoupled from the first hinge piece but is free to pivot to an open position at the closed position. At the open position the second hinge piece is inverted as compared to its position in the closed position, is free to pass through the first hinge piece and is free to be decoupled from the first hinge piece.
