One is attached to the door sash, while the other is fixed to the door frame or adjacent structure. The hinge components are joined to each other by a rod or pin which acts as the hinge's axis. The hinges and sash are visible on the inside of the doors but they are hidden when the door is closed to give it a neat and smooth appearance.

These hinges can be adjusted laterally as well as vertically however not as tightly as flag or rebate hinges.

Then, locate the screw or grub screw the one that controls each hinge and loosen it by using an Allen key. It may be necessary to loosen the screws at the top and bottom for a vertical adjustment. For lateral side-to-side adjustments, you'll require loosening the screw on the hinge's door side.
