A demountable hinge is disclosed for mounting a door to a frame. The hinge is particularly suitable for cabinets such as kitchen cabinets and includes a first section, and a second section pivotally attached to the first section to provide rotative hinge action. The first section includes a generally rectangular tab portion which has a button-like projection upstanding from one side and is dimensioned to be received by a correspondingly configured receiver strap securable by screws to the frame. The receiver strap is constructed of resilient material and includes an aperture which is dimensioned and located to receive the button-like projection in resilient snapped engagement to retain the first section on the frame. The second section may either be adjustably fastened directly to the door by screws of the like, or it may be demountably attached to the door in a manner similar to that used to mount the first section to a frame. The various embodiments incorporate several different features for retaining the door and the associated hinge section in the "closed door" position, which features are relatively uncomplicated, inexpensive to manufacture, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye, a factor which is significant in hinges utilized for kitchen cabinets. The hinge of the present invention simplifies the assembly of kitchen cabinets and doors and makes it possible for suppliers to offer greater selections of different styles of cabinets and doors while permitting them to stock a greater number of cabinets and doors of differing styles and colors.
