A hinge mounting assembly for an associated door panel is used for mounting to a panel to a storage rack. The rack generally includes at least one post having a front face and a side face. The front face has slots therein and the door panel generally has at least one bore defined therein. The hinge mounting assembly has a post plate and a door clamping member. The post plate has a hinge portion with a first end and a second end. The first end has bearing surfaces and an intermediate helical bearing surface. A door clamping member is pivotally mounted to the post plate. The door clamping member has a hinge post with a bearing surfaces and a helical bearing surface. The helical bearing surfaces enable the hinge mounting assembly to be “self closing” as well as reversibly mounted to the post.
