The invention pertains to an invention wherein one or more door hinges are adjustably secured to respective body frame parts (typically referred to as pillars) through the instrumentality of threaded bolts. On initial manufacturing assembly of a hinged pillar and a reinforcing nut plate, one or more bodies of hot melt adhesive are interposed between the nut plate and pillar. On subjecting the door to a standard rustproofing procedure, the associated elevated temperature activates the hot melt adhesive bodies so that the nut plate and pillar opposing surfaces are secured to one another in a predetermined desired arrangement. Accordingly, the bolts may now be removed and the door removed for adding accessories. Reassembly of the door with accessories will be in precise predetermined fitting arrangement not requiring realignment adjustments. In a second embodiment, the pillar and a further plate are "spot" welded together instead of using a hot melt adhesive as in the first embodiment. A safety screw holds the welded assembly to the hinge when the bolts are reapplied.
