ABSTRACT:
A horizontally adjustable door hinge, for hingedly connecting the vertical edge of a door to the adjacent vertical edge of the door frame, is secured upon an elongated metal strip which forms one of said edges. An enlarged opening cut in the strip loosely receives one leaf of the hinge. A plate overlaps the opening at the rear surface of the strip, and, the plate rear surface is overlapped by a back-up plate. The plate is rigidly fastened to the strip rear surface, and the back-up plate is secured to the plate by a mechanical fastening means that permits horizontal movement of the back-up plate relative to the fixed position plate. A number of sets of aligned screw receiving holes are formed in the leaf, plate and back-up plate. The holes in the plate are formed as horizontally elongated slots. At least some of the holes in the back-up plate are threaded, while others are of sufficient diameter to loosely pass a screw therethrough. Short screws extend through the aligned holes which include the threaded holes and when tightened, fasten together the leaf, plate, and back-up member. When the screws are loosened, the leaf, together with the back-up plate, may be horizontally moved relative to the plate and the strip. Other long screws extend through the other holes for embedding within a door or frame substrate, upon which the strip is applied, after the leaf is horizontally adjusted to predetermined location.
