Abstract
Abstract A device adapted to be mounted in a metal buck or wooden jamb of a door so that conventional hinges may be used to hang the door while the device permits connecting the position by the hinge so that the door may be adjusted and aligned, not only during the initial hanging of the door, but at a later point of time to compensate for settling of the building or other problems. The device includes a mounting bracket which is adapted to mate with a hinge leaf and which is adjustable about a vertical pivotal axis as well as being adjustable within the plane of the door opening parallel to said vertical pivotal axis.
