Abstract
The open front of the housing of a cabinet is flanked by a vertical strip having a front surface and a second surface adjacent to the open front and making with the front surface an angle of 90 degrees. The strip carries a door panel one vertical marginal portion of which is coupled to the strip by one or more hinges each having a first leaf recessed into the marginal portion of the panel, a second leaf adjacent to the second surface of the strip, and a bracket which is secured to the strip and supports the second leaf. A first section of the bracket overlies a portion of the front surface of the strip, and a second section of the bracket overlies a portion of the second surface of the strip. The second section has holes for fasteners which connect the bracket to the strip. The two mutually inclined sections of the bracket reduce the likelihood of separation of the hinge from the housing.
