Abstract
A lighting fixture frame with two diecast hinges. One part of each hinge has a split trough molded-in with the body of the mounting member. One side of the split trough has a molded ball rib. The second part of each hinge has two pins molded-in with the lens frame. The pins extend parallel to the edge of the frame. One pin from the hinge has a ball groove located around its base. The ball rib and ball groove slide together for centering and allowing ample clearance between the body and the frame. A lock can releasably cover one pin of each hinge, to retain pins in the troughs, while allowing the hinges to pivot.
