Abstract
A recessed hinge is disclosed that allows a door to open to an angle greater than 90 degrees. The hinge has a hinge pin with two free ends so that the hinge is also fully reversible, for use either on the right hand or left of an enclosure. The hinge also provides for simplified horizontal adjustment by having oval mounting holes for attaching the hinge to the enclosure, and the hinge provides for vertical adjustment by disposing one or more washers on the free end of the hinge pin. Vertical adjustment of the door as well as door removal may be accomplished without tools.
