The current invention relates to the field of hinges, more specifically locking hinges. It is often desirable to automatically secure a door at a position, for example while loading or unloading a vehicle, but most hinges on the market are unable to secure the door automatically. The current invention solves this problem by incorporating a securing means within the barrel of the hinge itself that is capable of releasably securing an attached door along the axis of rotation. The principal use of the preferred embodiment is on a travel trailer, the hinge serving to secure an entry door while loading or unloading the trailer.
