Pivot hinges
 

A long shot I know since there are many different kinds, but. I got a call
from a customer to take a look at his closet doors, just installed, but
giving him difficulty. A series of 6 doors, each one with a pivot hinge at
the outside edge. These close in pairs for each closet section.

The hinges look heavy duty (the doors have mirrors on them and are solid
themselves, I think). I tried to lift the door up and out of the hinge so
I could look at the mechanism but with no luck. I need access to them to
adjust the closing space. The top has an horizontal adjustment, not sure
about the bottom.

Enough information to give a suggestion on how to get a door off? I know
the light weight ones for louvered doors have a "pin" that can be pushed
down to remove it from the track, but don't know if these do. No
adjustment screws on the door that I can see.

I went to my door supplier and looked through a catalog but didn't see
anything that looked similar. The owner thought they might be German made.

Try unscrewing the bottom pivot stud so the door drops...then you can
get it out.
