Abstract
An improved self mounting adjustable hinge which simplifies the pre-installation of a door on a frame resulting in greater efficiency and reduced costs associated with the production of furniture articles such as cabinets, desks and the like. The improved adjustable hinge includes a hinge cup mountable to a door, a hinge arm connected at one end to the hinge cup and a hinge plate connected to the other end of the hinge arm which includes a substantially D-shaped opening for mounting the hinge plate to the frame and securing the door to the frame. The D-shaped opening in the hinge plate is specifically dimensioned to allow a head of a pre-installed fastening screw to pass through the opening only when the hinge plate is tilted relative to the screw head.
