Abstract
There is provided a hinge design which includes: (1) an alignment edge along each leaf of the hinge for aligning the hinge during installation, (2) a tapered pin with a bulbous extremity for easier installation, (3) a cam device in the form of a threaded insert positioned in a leaf of the hinge for affecting the adjustment of the hinge to correct the hang of the door, and (4) a security tab for interlocking the leaves of the hinge to prevent removal of the door when the pin is pulled from the knuckles. As an alternative secure design, the hinge is formed with a flexible plastic region between the leaves to function in place of the knuckle/pin combination and thereby prevent separation of the leaves.
