Abstract

A spacing member (15) on a hinge arm (1) bears against guide surfaces (22, 231)and locates a hinge pin (16) generally beneath a hinge pin hole in a recess (2) to be mounted on a door to be hingedly mounted on a cabinet which has a frame mounting the hinge arm. Lowering of the recess when so generally located cause a chamfer (161) on the end of the hinge pin (16) to accurately align the hinge pin with the hinge pin hole as the hinge pin (16) enters the hinge pin hole to move the spacing member (15) out of engagement with the guide surfaces (22, 231).
