Flexible part of a door (5)

I believe the answer is:

hinge

(Other definitions for hinge that I've seen before include "Door support" , "Circumstance upon which subsequent events depend; door facilitator" , "Joint between door and frame" , "Part of a door" , "door open because of this?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
