door hinge
Panel rotation hardware
A door hinge is the mechanical joint that attaches a door to its frame and allows it to swing open and closed.
Hinges typically consist of two metal plates connected by a pin, mounted so one plate fixes to the door and the other to the frame: The door hinge squeaks every time I open it.
