A hinge and an associated method of use are provided that enable one person to hinge a pivotable member, such as a cabinet door, relative to an aperture in stationary structure, such as a cabinet, or vice versa. The hinge has first and second hinge leaves, and the first hinge leaf is provided with a hanger receiving aperture. After the second hinge leaf is mounted to the pivotable member by screws or the like, the aperture in the first hinge leaf is hung temporarily over a hanger that is preliminarily positioned and mounted in the stationary structure and the first hinge leaf is mounted to the stationary member. The hanger can be a headed protruding screw. After the mounting, the hanger may be removed. Preferably the hinge has hinge leaves each comprised of cooperating, progressive step segments that each terminate in mutually interdigitating, pintle associating knuckle members, and preferably a medial segment of one hinge leaf is nestably received in one segment of the other hinge leaf, thereby providing the hinge with a compact configuration when folded (closed). The segmented leaves enable the hinge to extend over edge portions of a door and adjacent cabinet aperture. |
