Abstract: A hinge arrangement for a safe or similar secure storage unit. A unit includes a compartment with an opening in which a door can be mounted. Hinge cups are arranged along one edge of the door frame. Hinge lug pieces extend from an edge of the door and are received within the hinge cups. Hinge pins are introduced into the cups and lugs, creating a pivot joint for each hinge. The hinge pin passages are concealed from the exterior and are only accessible from the interior of the storage compartment. When closed, the hinge lug pieces are preferably substantially flush with the exterior surfaces of the door frame.
