Upper and lower hinge door-half sub-assemblies each include a generally hat-shaped door mounting plate secured to the vehicle door and a U-shaped link plate connected to an associated door mounting plate by a pintle pin. Each link plate has a threaded bore in its base wall and a dowel extending downwardly from an upper flange. Upper and lower L-shaped body mounting plates, each having a first leg secured to the body, include an upper web with a dowel hole adapted to receive its associated link plate dowel. Each door mounting plate second leg has a threaded bore while a removable key locks each pair of sub-assembly plates fixing the door in a predetermined hold-open removal mode. To hang the door each link plate depending dowel is inserted in its associated body plate dowel hole aligning their respective threaded bores. Tightening a bolt in the aligned bores interlocks each upper and lower set of base and link plates whereby upon removal of the keys each bolted pair of link and body plates pivotally support the door on their associated upper and lower body plates.
