Yes..It does

Er..yes.

But I am no longer talking about the door...Here is a single hinge pinned to a wall about which a rod rotates...What do the two components of reaction stand for..?

I am sorry. ..Could you please be a little more explicit? And you didn't explain the vertical component...Thank you

Also..In the second figure (refer attached file) I am not sure whether the horizontal component of hinge reaction will be in a direction along the rod(as I have shown it in the picture) or in the opposite direction?

okay...I understand your explanation. ..And I am sorry...let me clarify the second question...what I was asking was why are there two components of hinge reactions.. (as shown in the attached file a rod is fixed to a hinge which in turn is attached to a wall...) So in this situation what role do...
