A security hinge joint includes a substantially planar, flexible first member, including first and second blind hinge eyes. A second member is pivotable relative to the first member and includes at least one second open hinge eye which lies between the blind hinge eyes. A hinge pin extends through the second open hinge eye and into the first blind hinge eye. The first blind hinge eye wraps around the end of the hinge pin, enclosing the bottom of the pin when the joint is in a closed position, and is interrupted to define a lead-in slot through which the hinge pin can pass. For insertion or removal of the hinge pin, one end of the first member must be flexed out of the plane of the first member.

A security hinge joint, comprising: a substantially planar, flexible first member, including first and second hinge ends, said hinge ends haivng first and second blind hinge eyes, respectively; a second member, pivotable relative to said first member so as to define a closed position and at least one open positon and including at least one open hinge eye which is axially aligned with and lies between said blind hinge eyes; a separate hinge pin, extending through said open hinge eye and into said first and second blind hinge eyes; wherein said first blind hinge eye wraps around said hinge pin, enclosing the bottom of said pin when said second member is in said closed position, and is interrupted to define a lead-in slot through which said hinge pin can pass, and wherein, for insertion or removal of said hinge pin from the first blind eye, one end of said first member must be flexed out of the plane of said first member; and wherein, when the second member is in the closed position, said second member prevents said first member from flexing toward said second member, so that said first member cannot flex for removal of said hinge pin through said lead-in slot.
