A hinge that has a first mounting base for attachment to a first hinged object. The hinge also has first and second hinge members pivotally connected together. The first hinge member and the first base are configured and dimensioned for cooperatively positioning and aligning the first hinge member in a plurality of mounted positions along the base length. At least one first locking member is associated with the first hinge member and the first base for locking the first hinge member to the first base in one of the mounted positions. The hinge may also be segmented. A positioning tool may be connected to at least the first base with an attachment portion and configured for positioning the first base and attachment portion on a first hinged object at a predetermined distance from the second hinge member.

1. A method of mounting a hinge comprising:(a) providing a hinge comprising: a first elongated mounting base having a length and two longitudinally extending lateral sides for mounting a hinge member to the first base, the first base attachable to a first hinged object; a first hinge member configured to engage the two lateral sides of the first base; a second hinge member pivotally connected to the first hinge member, and at least one first locking member associated with the first hinge member for locking the first hinge member to the first base in a plurality of mounted positions, the first locking member engaging one of the lateral sides of the first base to lock the first hinge member to the first base, the first locking member movable from a locked position for locking the first hinge member to the first base to an unlocked position for releasing the first hinge member from the first mounting base; (b) mounting the first base to the first hinged object; (c) placing the first hinge member against the first base; and (d) engaging the first locking member of the first hinge member with one of the lateral sides of the first base, thereby locking the first binge member to the first base. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first locking member comprises a set screw, the step of engaging the first locking member with the first base further comprising tightening the set screw against one of the lateral sides of the first base.3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the hinge comprising a second elongated mounting base having a length and two longitudinally extending lateral sides for mounting the second hinge member to the second base, the second base attachable to a second hinged object, and further comprising the step of mounting the second base to the second hinged object.4. The method of claim 3, further comprising at least a second locking member associated with the second hinge member for locking the second hinge member to the second base, and further comprising the steps of placing the second hinge member against the second base and engaging the second locking member with one of the lateral sides of the second base, thereby locking the second hinge member to the second base.5. The method of claim 1, further comprising at least one of the lateral sides of the first mounting base having a fastening surface and the first hinge member having an inwardly curved hook, wherein placing the first hinge member against the first base includes hooking the curved hook of first hinge member against the fastening surface of the first base.6. The method of claim 5, further comprising the step of rotating the hooked first hinge member against the first base prior to locking the first hinge member to the first base.7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first hinged object is a door or a door frame.8. A method of mounting a hinge comprising:(a) providing a hinge-mounting positioning tool comprising: a first base positioner configured and adapted for receiving a first hinge mounting base, the first base for mounting to a first hinged object; a detachable second base positioner configured and adapted for receiving a second hinge mounting base, the second base for mounting to a second hinged object; and a connecting means for releaseably holding the first and second mounting base positioners together; (b) providing the first base and a first hinge member; (c) connecting the first base to the first base positioner; (d) aligning and spacing the first base in a mounting position on the first hinged object with the positioning tool; and (e) attaching the first base to the first hinged object; and (f) mounting the first hinge member to the first base. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein attaching the first base to the first hinged object includes fastening a fastener through the first base into the first hinged object.10. The method of claim 8, wherein the first hinged object is a door or a door frame.11. The method of claim 8, further comprising the steps of providing the second base and a second hinge member, connecting the second base to the second base positioner, aligning and spacing the second base in a mounting position on the second hinged object with the positioning tool, attaching the second base to the second hinged object, and mounting the second hinge member to the second base.12. A method of mounting hinge mounting bases to hinged objects with a positioning tool comprising:providing a first hinge mounting base and a second hinge mounting base, the mounting bases connected to one side of a positioning tool comprising a web and held at a predetermined distance from each other on the positioning tool; placing the positioning tool with connected bases against a first hinged object and a second hinged object; attaching the first mounting base to the first hinged object; and attaching the second mounting base to the second hinged object; whereby the first and second mounting bases are attached to the first and second hinged objects, respectively, at the predetermined distance from each other. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the positioning tool holds the first and second mounting bases in a substantially parallel relationship to each other.14. The method of claim 12, wherein the web is flexible, and further comprising the step of pulling the web to a generally flat condition upon placing the positioning tool against the first and second hinged objects before attaching the first mounting base to the first hinged object.15. The method of claim 12, further comprising the step of severing the web between the first and second mounting bases after attaching at least the first mounting base to the first hinged object.16. The method of claim 12, wherein the first and second mounting bases are generally elongated.17. The method of claim 12, further comprising the first and second mounting bases being connected to the positioning tool by a layer of adhesive.18. The method of claim 17, further comprising a layer of adhesive disposed on the positioning tool on a side opposite the side where the first and second hinge members are connected, and further comprising the step of attaching the positioning tool to the first and second hinged objects by the adhesive disposed on the opposite side.19. The method of claim 18, wherein the adhesive disposed on the opposite side is double-sided tape.
