Just ran downstairs to check .. only thing I got wrong is the angle. 
Probably closer to 30 than the 45 I put in there. The hinge does indeed 
rest on on that small point.

The plastic part of the hinge is a fairly strong plastic that's not 
going to break too soon as this building is 10+ years old .. and I've 
never seen one of these hinges broken anywhere.

Cheers!
