A resiliently biased locking element travels in free sliding relation over an arcuate surface throughout the major extent of oscillatory movement of a rocking lever associated with a linked lever system of a door hinge especially useful for pieces of furniture, whereby the door is freely movable between a fully open position and a fully closed position, the resiliently biased locking element engaging a detent surface leading from the arcuate surface close to the fully closed position of the door, avoiding terminal slamming of the door, but obtaining a satisfactory locked door relationship. By having either the locking element or the surfaces on which it runs formed of or treated with a self-lubricating material such as a suitable plastic, wear-free operation is effected. |
