Patent

CA 2122510

A kit including a full door piano hinge and frame mount for one lateral edge of a door is disclosed. Door edge trim for mounting on the closing side of the door may be optionally employed. While the hinge and frame mount are integral, they are reversible and hence can be positioned on either side of a door prior to mounting in the door jamb and frame. The latch assembly is then applied to either the left or the right-hand side depending upon how the door is hinged and hung. More specifically the hinge is provided with a plurality of holes in one of its leaves which permits the same to be secured to one lateral edge of the door with screws already in place awaiting the placement of the hinge. In one embodiment of the method, taken in conjunction with the door of United States Patent No. 4,311,183, the lateral edge screws are relieved by one to two turns from the hinge side. The hinge leaf mounting surface is provided with keyhole slots which are positioned against the shank of the relieved screw. Thereafter the screws are re-tightened. The latch and handle are then installed after boring a hole through the door to accept the actuating shaft.
