Abstract: A hinge of the semi-concealed, wrap-around type is provided with a slot extending transversely to the hinge axis so that with the cabinet door assembled to the door leaf of the hinge, the frame leaf of the hinge (which in its finally installed position seats on the edge of the frame) can be shifted to and temporarily secured in an angular orientation and forwardly of its finally installed position. In this position most of the parts of the frame which are ultimately covered by the frame leaf are exposed for a surface coating operation, and the door itself is in a position generally corresponding to a partly open position to facilitate the application of the coating to the inside face of the door. After the coating operation is completed the frame leaf is shifted to its finally installed position and secured to the cabinet frame.

Abstract: A hinge adjustment tool for use on self-closing hinges for kitchen cabinets has the form of a bar of hot rolled steel in which end portions of the bar are displaced out of the plane of the intermediate portion of the bar in opposite directions at an angle of about 45.degree. by a cold bending operation, the end portions each having a slot opening to one of its longitudinal edges and facing in opposite directions, and with the end portions of the tool being hardened by heat treatment.
