A pair of side frame segments extend along the sides of the hatch door, and are connected with the sides of the cap framework. A pair of corner keys connect the side frame segments with opposite ends of the upper frame segment to form an inverted, generally U-shaped frame which both pivotally mounts the hatch door and structurally interconnects the sides of the framework without any intermediate framing.
