ABSTRACT:
A vertically adjustable hinge is disclosed. The hinge comprises a wing having an internally threaded knuckle, the knuckle having a knuckle slot and a stop surface disposed along the knuckle slot, an adjustment screw threaded into the threaded knuckle, the adjustment screw having a stop tab positioned to travel along the knuckle slot as the adjustment screw travels in the threaded knuckle, wherein the stop tab engages the stop surface to prevent further travel of the adjustment screw in the threaded knuckle and a leaf having a post dimensioned for insertion in the knuckle and into engagement with the adjustment screw, wherein the position of the leaf relative to the wing is determined by the position of the adjustment screw relative to the knuckle.
