Abstract:
An adjustable hinge of the present invention includes a hinge pin and a hinge plate coupled to the hinge pin and a plurality of adjusters configured to threadedly engage a plurality of threaded apertures formed in the hinge plate. The adjusters define respective central pass-through bores for receiving a fastener configured to fasten the hinge plate to a door or door frame. The adjusters are operatively associated with a door or door frame, so that, after slightly loosening the existing fastener, rotating the adjuster changes the gap between the hinge plate and the surface of the door or door frame. Once the desired gap has been obtained, the fastener is tightened against the adjuster, and into the door or door frame, thereby maintaining the gap.
