Abstract
The housing of a hinge assembly is provided with elongated apertures and a plate of less width than the housing is clamped over the apertures by mounting screws which secure the housing to a cabinet. The housing wall and the surface of the plate are serrated to secure the plate against lateral movement after being clamped to the housing. A cover is snap-fitted onto the housing to seal off the elongated apertures and to eliminate any exposed gaps.
