Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1010848A2] A door kit comprises a door panel having front and rear faces bridged by top and side edges including at least one recess on a side edge, the recess being bounded by a ridge, and a plate forming or adapted to form part of a hinge, the plate being fixable to the side edge in the recess after removal of the ridge or part thereof along one side edge, thereby to assist in hanging the door. This means that the "handedness" of the door is not fixed until shortly before installation. There can be backplate in the recess, partially filling the recess so as to still provide a discernible depth for receiving the plate, and providing additional strength in securing the plate. The backplate can if desired be of variable thickness and include a thinner part corresponding in shape to the plate. This then allows a thicker part to lie alongside the plate. The thicker part and the plate can be keyed so as to provide a firm engagement. The plate is suitably one half of a hinge, releasably connectable to another half, for example via a removable pin. A hinge is also disclosed comprising first and second mutually rotatable plates, and a separate backplate adapted to conform to the second plate. The backplate and the second plate preferably interlock together in a keying arrangement. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
