Abstract
A quick release door hinge system has a locking pin and two flaps: A jamb flap that is fixedly attached to a door jamb and a door flap which is fixedly attached to a door. The door flap has built-in downwardly pointing pins that are configured and sized to fit into channels found on the jamb flap. Once the two flaps are connected, the locking pin is inserted so as to block any upward motion of the door flap which could result in an inadvertent release of the door from its hinges.
Claims12
A door hinge system comprising a jamb flap adapted to be fixedly attached to a door jamb, and including at least two channel members adapted to receive door flap pin members therein;
- a door flap adapted to be fixedly attached to a door, and including at least two pin members adapted to be received within respective channel members of said jamb flap, such that when said door flap pin members are placed within respective jamb flap channel members the two flap members are pivotable to one another;
- and a locking pin member adapted to be placed between two of said at least two channel members to thereby block the removal of said door flap pin members from said jamb flap channel members, and thereby prevent the disconnection between said door flap and said jamb flap;
- barrels centrally located on a vertical axis and bevels of screw holes located on both faces of said jamb flap and said door flap to allow for said jamb flap and said door flap to be used on left and right side.
A method of pivotally attaching a door member to a door jamb, said method comprising the steps of:
- a.) providing a door jamb;
- b.) providing a door;
- c.) providing at least two hinge systems, wherein each hinge system comprises a jamb flap adapted to be fixedly attached to said door jamb, and including at least two channel members adapted to receive door flap pin members therein;
- a door flap adapted to be fixedly attached to said door, and including at least two pin members adapted to be received within respective channel members of said jamb flap, such that when said door flap pin members are placed within respective jamb flap channel members the two flap members are pivotable to one another;
- and a locking pin member adapted to be placed between two of said at least two channel members to thereby block the removal of said door flap pin members from said jamb flap channel members, and thereby prevent the disconnection between said door flap and said jamb flap;
- d.) connecting said jamb flaps to said door jamb;
- e.) connecting said door flaps to said door such that each door flap is in proper alignment with each respective jamb flap;
- f.) raising and moving said door into alignment with said door jamb, such that said door flap pin members are in alignment with said jamb flap channel members;
- g.) lowering said door, such that said each respective door flap pin member slides into each respective jamb flap channel member;
- h.) placing a locking pin member in between said at least two channel members of each hinge system, to thereby block the removal of said door flap pin members from said jamb flap channel members, prevent the disconnection between said door flap and said jamb flap;
- and thereby prevent the disconnection between the door and the door jamb.
