You could try a phys_ballsocket. If you've ever used garrysmod you should be familiar with the concept.

Hear the turret, for it is knell. It summons thee to heaven, or to hell.

Have you pulled out the origin of the phys_hinge to make, well, the hinge? The entity -> origin line should make up the plane that the objects will hinge around. For example, if you were making a normal door, the hinge should go from top to bottom (or bottom to top, no difference really) of the corner of the brush where it should hinge at.

Post a screenshot of hammer looking at the hinge, all views please.
