Abstract

A telescoping adjustable pivot sliding hinge system, for mounting a door with at least a portion of the side edge of the door projecting into the opening when the door is in an open position, is disclosed. An upper mounting plate is mounted onto the door's top edge and is fastened to the door's interior side. First and second guide tracks are installed onto the header of the door opening. The upper mounting plate includes a pair of guide members that are operatively moveably engaged respectively with the first and second guide tracks. A lower mounting plate is mounted on a lower horizontal surface of the door opening, and includes a lower guide track and a telescoping adjustable pivot arm that is horizontally and rotationally captured at a proximal end thereof by the lower mounting plate. The lower mounting plate can be adjusted in relation to the base plate, and can be locked permanently with the said base plate by two machine screws and two nuts. The pivot arm's distal end is attached onto the door's bottom edge. A lower guide member, which is tucked into a guide shield, is fixed onto the door's bottom edge, and is operatively movably engaged with the lower guide track.
