A hinge adapted to connect a pair of massive elements intended to be pivotally secured, one of which is operatively stationary, is disclosed. The hinge includes a pair of flat outer plates and a flanged middle plate sandwiched therebetween. The three plates are pivotally fastened to each other by a pin or shaft extending through interlaced curled sections formed along juxtaposed edges of the respective plates. One of the outer plates is mounted on the operatively stationary element while the other outer plate and the flanged plate are secured to the movable element.
