Embodiments of the invention provide a hinge system and method for use with an electrical enclosure. The hinge system can include a first mounting plate having a bushing and a second mounting plate having an aperture. The hinge system can include a pin having a first portion received by the bushing and a second portion selectively received by the aperture. The hinge system can include a cam lever, which can extend from the first mounting plate at an angle. The cam lever can be moveable between a first position to retract the pin from the aperture and a second position to lock the pin in the aperture. The cam lever can be operable in a substantially single plane of motion.

The hinge system of claim 1, and further comprising a spring and a stub positioned on the pin, the stub receiving the spring. 3. The hinge system of claim 1, and further comprising a slot and an extension engaging the slot, the extension being offset from a first axis of rotation of the cam lever. 4. The hinge system of claim 1, wherein the second hinge plate includes two apertures and each one of the two apertures receives a portion of the pin. 5. The hinge system of claim 1, wherein the hinge system enables the electrical enclosure to be mounted in a first orientation and a second orientation that is rotated about 180 degrees from the first orientation. 6. The hinge system of claim 1, wherein the cam lever is rotated between the first position and the second position. 7. The hinge system of claim 1, wherein the angle is about 90 degrees. 8. A dual pin hinge system for use with an electrical enclosure, the hinge system comprising: a first mounting plate including a bushing;a second mounting plate including two apertures;two pins, each one of the two pins having a first portion received by the bushing and a second portion selectively received by one of the two apertures; anda cam lever extending from the first mounting plate at an angle, the cam lever being moveable between a first position to retract the two pins from at least one of the two apertures and a second position to lock the two pins in at least one of the two apertures, the cam lever being operable in a substantially single plane of motion, the angle being greater than about 45 degrees. 9. The hinge system of claim 8, wherein the two pins are substantially simultaneously moved by the cam lever. 10. The hinge system of claim 8, and further comprising a slot and a sledge, the two pins each including the sledge, the slot positioned in the bushing, the slot receiving the sledge. 11. The hinge system of claim 10, wherein the sledge of one of the two pins overlaps the sledge of the other of the two pins inside the bushing in at least one position of the two pins. 12. The hinge system of claim 10, and further comprising at least one spring and a stub positioned on the two pins, the at least one spring being received by the stub of each of the two pins. 13. The hinge system of claim 8, wherein the two pins each include a slot and the cam lever includes a first extension and a second extension, the first extension received by the slot of one of the two pins and the second extension received by the slot of the other of the two pins. 14. The hinge system of claim 8, wherein the cam lever includes a handle accessible from an interior space of the electrical enclosure. 15. The hinge system of claim 8, wherein the cam lever includes at least one stop locking the cam lever in an open position or a closed position. 16. The hinge system of claim 8, wherein the electrical enclosure is configured to be mounted in a first orientation and a second orientation that is rotated about 180 degrees from the first orientation. 17. The hinge system of claim 8, wherein the cam lever is rotated between the first position and the second position. 18. The hinge system of claim 8, wherein the angle is about 90 degrees. 19. An electrical enclosure comprising: a back section including a first mounting plate; a frame including a second mounting plate; and a hinge system coupled to the back section and the frame, the hinge system including at least one pin and a cam lever moveable to retract the at least one pin from one of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, the cam lever extending from the hinge system at angle greater than about 45 degrees, wherein the cam lever includes a handle accessible from an interior space of the electrical enclosure, the cam lever accessible from the interior space of the electrical enclosure, the cam lever moveable in a substantially single plane of motion. 20. The electrical enclosure of claim 19, wherein the electrical enclosure is configured to be mounted in a first orientation and a second orientation that is rotated about 180 degrees from the first orientation.
