The invention concerns an adjustable hinge that connects two furniture/cabinet components (door and cabinet body) together by means of a cabinet hinge and baseplate. On the cabinet hinge is a spring snap mechanism and connected on it, a hinge arm. This is connected by an adjustment plate with the baseplate and between the hinge arm and adjustment plate, an adjustment screw is located to adjust the both (bilateral) distances. The adjustment screw is screwed through an enclosed elongated hole in the adjustment plate in a thread borehole in the hinge arm. According to the invention, the adjustment screw is designed as a set screw (thread pin), which has on its one end a device for a releasable coupling with a tool and on the other end has a plate with a larger diameter. The bottom surface side of the plate, thus, rests on the baseplate and on the plate's upper surface, the edge of the adjustment plate's elongated hole. It is preferred that the plate's surfaces and the baseplate's surfaces are formed spherical or cone-shaped and that the edge of the elongated hole's edge is strengthened or reinforced. The invention-related adjustable hinge allows the easy, simple, precise and reproducible adjustment of these lateral distances between the door and cabinet without damage to the hinge, while simultaneously, enabling a simpler, easier and cost effective production of the hinge itself.
