Also, loose pin hinges, are these for being able to lift the door off

Yes; useful eg for a loft hatch too, as it means the whole hatch can be

Oh - and I'm sure I long ago saw them used in scenery construction to hold
adjacent flats together, possibly with pull-loop wires welded to the ends of
the pins so they can be removed easily.
