Abstract
A hinge for a door or cover of a cabinet includes first and second hinge wings. Each wing has a plurality of openings for receiving attachment screws that penetrate associated bores in components to be held together by means of the hinge. An adapter is positioned on a back side of each of the components. Each adapter has a projection centered in the bores of the components for receiving a respective screw nut, wherein each screw nut cooperates with one of the attachment screws. A diametrically extending slotted hole disposed in each of the adapters provides for positive-fit, non-rotatable receipt of the screw nut that is displaceable in the slotted hole. Preferably, the diameter of the bores located in the components is greater than a diameter of the attachment screws by the amount of displaceability of the hinge. In this manner, the hinge can be adjusted without detracting from the outward appearance of the hinge on the cabinet door.
