A hinge body-half sub-assembly comprises a main member mounted on a body strut and a U-shaped link member, having a plurality of external guide surfaces, pivotally connected by a pintle pin to the main member. The door-half member is channel-shaped having its bight wall formed with a pair of normally extending sidewalls with one sidewall and the bight wall defining a pair of interior guide surfaces. Upon the door-half member being initially moved laterally into nested relation with the link member its interior guide surfaces are located in flush abutment with associated link member guide surfaces. Subsequent guided vertical sliding travel of the door-half member relative to the link member provides self-aligned reception of the pintle pin within a leaf flange pintle pin hole of the door-half member. Stop means on the pin completes the vertical travel wherein the door-half and link members providing interior and exterior flush abutting locking surfaces respectively, such that the members are in interlocked engagement for conjoint pivotal movement relative to the main member.
