Abstract
A hinge has first and second hinge members interconnected by an axle that allows relative rotation between them. Each hinge member has screw holes allowing the hinge member to be connected to a leaf or a frame. The screw holes of one hinge member are protected by a cover that can only be removed when the hinge members have a specific relative disposition. This provides a security feature.
