A hinge is a mechanical device that connects two solid objects, typically allowing a limited angle of rotation between them. Hinges are commonly used on doors, windows, lids, and other objects where controlled movement or access is required. They serve as joints, enabling motion while maintaining a fixed connection. Hinges often consist of two plates (called leaves) joined by a pin or rod that acts as the pivot point.
