• a door;
• a door frame;
• at least two door hinge components adjustably attached to a selected one of said door and said door frame, each of said door hinge components comprising a housing including an interior concave surface, an elongated portion extending from said housing attached to the selected one of said door and said door frame, and a rotatable and pivotable bearing member disposed in said housing, said bearing member having an arcuate portion, opposing flat portions protruding from the interior of said housing and an aperture;
• a hinge bracket fixedly mounted to the other of said door and said door frame;
• a pin inserted in each said bearing member aperture and extending from said hinge bracket for connecting the door to the door frame;
• and
• a nut threaded onto said shaft for securing the hinge component to the hinge bracket, wherein said nut includes a surface in abutment with an entire flat surface of one of the flat portions of the bearing member and extending beyond said flat surface, and said hinge bracket includes a surface in abutment with an entire flat surface of the other of the flat portions of the bearing member and extending beyond said flat surface.

A method of attaching a door to a door frame comprising the steps of:

• fastening at least two door hinge components to a selected one of said door frame and said door, each said door hinge component comprising a housing having an interior concave surface, an elongated portion extending from said housing, and a rotatable and pivotable bearing member disposed in said housing, said bearing member having an arcuate portions opposing flat portions protruding from the interior of said housing and an aperture;
• aligning a pin extending from a hinge bracket with each said bearing aperture;
• inserting said pin into each said bearing aperture such that the door is freely pivotable about the central axis of said pin, wherein an end of said pin includes a threaded shaft portion that extends beyond the flat portions of the bearing member;
• and
• threading a nut onto said shaft portion for securing the hinge component to the hinge bracket, wherein said nut includes a surface in abutment with an entire flat surface of one of the flat portions of the bearing member and extending beyond said flat surface, and said hinge bracket includes a surface in abutment with an entire flat surface of the other of the flat portions of the bearing member and extending beyond said flat surface.
