Abstract
A sliding door center adjustable hinge includes a first hinge member having a pair of spaced walls with aligned hinge pin receiving apertures and a second hinge member including a bracket received between the spaced walls with predetermined clearance for vertical motion therebetween. The bracket includes hinge pin receiving apertures aligned with the apertures of said spaced walls. A hinge pin is received in the apertures and includes a threaded shank, a shoulder and a head engageable for rotation of the pin. An internally threaded element is fixed to one of the first and second hinge members and engaged by the threaded shank of the hinge pin, and an axial abutment on the other of the hinge members is engaged by the shoulder of the hinge pin so as to movably support the one of the hinge members on another of the hinge members, whereby rotation of the hinge pin by engagement of the head axially adjusts the position of the hinge pin in the threaded element and thereby moves the movably supported hinge member vertically relative to the supporting hinge member.
