What is claimed is: 1. An assembly comprising: a receiver assembly having a cavity therein, the receiver assembly further having an opening providing access to the cavity; a leaf dimensioned for insertion into the cavity in an insertion direction and adapted for connection to a second leaf and a retaining spring connected to the leaf and extending away from the leaf, wherein the retaining spring is moveable between a compressed position and an expanded position, wherein when the retaining spring is in the compressed position, the leaf is able to be inserted into the cavity and removed from the cavity through the opening, and when the leaf is received in the cavity and the retaining spring is in the expanded position, the spring engages an interior surface of the receiver assembly to retain the leaf within the receiver assembly, the interior surface being located inwardly of the opening and extending into the cavity in a direction transverse to the insertion direction. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the retaining spring has an exposed tab to facilitate movement of the spring from the expanded position to the compressed position. 3. The assembly of claim 2, wherein the opening has a slot, and the exposed tab of the retaining spring is received in the slot to facilitate access to the tab. 4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the receiver assembly comprises a cover having the opening therein, and the interior surface is defined on an interior side of the cover. 5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the opening is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the cavity. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the receiver assembly comprises a flange surrounding at least a portion of the opening, and the interior surface is defined on an interior side of the flange. 7. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the spring has a fixed end connected to the leaf and a free end distal from the leaf, wherein the free end engages the interior surface of the receiver assembly to retain the leaf within the receiver assembly. 8. A stop mechanism for a vertically adjustable hinge including a wing having a knuckle with a stop surface and a threaded axial bore and a leaf having a post dimensioned for insertion into the bore, the stop mechanism comprising: a threaded adjustment screw adapted to be threaded into the axial bore, the adjustment screw further being adapted to engage the post of the leaf when the post is inserted into the bore such that the position of the leaf relative to the wing is determined by the position of the adjustment screw relative to the knuckle; and a stop engaging the adjustment screw such that the screw rotates independently of the stop and the screw and the stop move together linearly, the stop having a tab thereon, wherein rotational movement of the screw causes simultaneous linear movement of the screw and stop such that the screw and the stop are adapted to move axially along the axial bore, wherein the tab is adapted to engage the stop surface to prevent further travel of the adjustment screw along the axial bore. 9. The stop mechanism of claim 8, wherein the stop is a wing stop engaging the outer surface of the adjustment screw. 10. The stop mechanism of claim 8, wherein the adjustment screw includes a circumferential groove and a portion of the stop is received in the circumferential groove. 11. The stop mechanism of claim 8, wherein the tab extends from the stop such that the tab is adapted to be received by, and travel axially within, a slot adjacent to the axial bore, the slot having the stop surface defined thereon. 12. An assembly comprising: a wing having a knuckle, the knuckle having a threaded axial bore and a stop surface, the knuckle being adapted for connection to a leaf to form a hinge, wherein the knuckle is adapted to receive a post of the leaf therein; an adjustment screw threaded into the axial bore and adapted to engage the post of the leaf when the post is inserted into the bore such that the position of the leaf relative to the wing is determined by the position of the adjustment screw relative to the knuckle; and a stop engaging the adjustment screw, wherein rotational movement of the screw causes simultaneous axial movement of the screw and stop along the axial bore, wherein a portion of the stop is engageable with the stop surface to prevent further travel of the adjustment screw along the axial bore. 13. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the wing further comprises a second knuckle adapted to receive a second post of the leaf therein. 14. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the stop is a wing stop engaging the outer surface of the adjustment screw. 15. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the adjustment screw includes a circumferential groove and a second portion of the stop is received in the circumferential groove. 16. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the stop has a tab that is engageable with the stop surface to prevent further travel of the adjustment screw along the axial bore. 17. The assembly of claim 16, wherein the knuckle further comprises a slot adjacent to the axial bore, the stop surface being disposed along the slot, and wherein the tab is positioned to travel along the slot as the stop moves along the axial bore. 18. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the knuckle further comprises a slot adjacent to the axial bore, the stop surface being disposed along the slot. 19. The assembly of claim 18, wherein the portion of the stop that is engageable with the stop surface is dimensioned to be received in the slot and to travel along the slot as the stop moves along the axial bore. 20. An adjustable assembly comprising: a knuckle having a threaded axial bore therethrough, the knuckle comprising a slot adjacent to the axial bore and a stop surface disposed along the slot; an adjustment screw threaded into the axial bore; and a stop engaging the adjustment screw such that rotational movement of the screw causes simultaneous axial movement of the screw and the stop along the axial bore, the stop having a tab positioned to travel along the slot as the stop moves linearly, wherein the tab is engageable with the stop surface to prevent further travel of the adjustment screw along the axial bore. 21. The assembly of claim 20, wherein the stop is a wing stop engaging the outer surface of the adjustment screw. 22. The assembly of claim 20, wherein the adjustment screw includes a circumferential groove and a portion of the stop is received in the circumferential groove. 23. The assembly of claim 20, wherein the knuckle is a component of a wing adapted for connection to a leaf to form a hinge assembly, wherein the knuckle is adapted to receive a post of the leaf therein.
