Abstract
A gutter screen hinge with a lock is disclosed. The hinge includes a clip to engage the edge of a gutter, and the clip carries one or more hinge loops to receive a wire of the gutter screen for hinging the screen. A finger extends from the clip, the finger having a hook at its end to engage a wire of the screen. The hook engages the screen at a point spaced from the hinge axis, thereby preventing hinging of the screen. The hook and screen are movable relative to each other to release the screen.
