Abstract
A hinged door for a rack mounted electronic device includes a pair of hinges which use pins to retain the door on the device. A pair of removable mounting blocks permit the hinges to twist from a free portion to a locking portion so that in the locking position, the door is retained in a hinged relationship with the device. The pins include pin cylinders which, when the door is in the hinged relationship are retained by oppositely disposed receiving slots. The assembly of the door to the mounting blocks establishes a the mounting blocks in a position to mount the electronic device to the rack with the door fixed to the device.
