1. A dual snap-in hinge and receiver combination for interconnecting a jamb and a panel, the jamb being operatively connected to a wall with a wall fastener, the wall fastener extending through a jamb opening in the jamb, comprising:
(a) a hinge having a jamb leaf rotatably connected to a panel leaf;
(b) a jamb receiver adapted and configured to be secured to the jamb, the jamb receiver including a first jamb portion of a first snap-in connection, the jamb receiver having a jamb receiver installation/adjustment opening having a first size;
(c) a panel receiver adapted and configured to be secured to the panel, the panel receiver including a first panel portion of a second snap-in connection;
(d) the jamb leaf having a second jamb portion of the first snap-in connection for a snap-in connection to the jamb receiver, the jamb leaf having a jamb leaf installation/adjustment opening having a second size, wherein the wall fastener is an installation/adjustment screw having a screw head having a third size, whereby the jamb receiver installation/adjustment opening allows the insertion of the installation/adjustment screw and the second size is smaller than the first size and the third size but still allows access to the screw head, whereby the screw head is captured between the jamb leaf and the jamb and rotation of the installation/adjustment screw provides for adjustment of the hinge and the jamb relative to the wall; and
(e) the panel leaf having a second panel portion of the second snap-in connection for a snap-in connection to the panel receiver, wherein the hinge is adapted and configured to be removable from the panel receiver and the jamb receiver without removing the installation/adjustment screw.
