Pin Hinge
A simple hinge consisting of two interlocking metal loops joined by a removable pin that forms the pivot point. In cabinetry, pin hinges are a basic hinge type used on utility cabinets, garage cabinets, and rustic-style doors where exposed hardware is acceptable. The removable pin allows doors to be easily lifted off for transport or finishing. Pin hinges are among the oldest and simplest hinge designs.
