Having asked for plumber's thoughts on my shower it's now the turn of kitchen fitters! ;D
SWMBO in her typical kack handed manner has pulled a kitchen door off, the actuall hinge has broken. It's from a double door in an internal corner ie hinging from another hinged door. I've had a look in B & Q as I was passing them on the way t the shower section ;D but they've not got anything like it.
A look on eBay shows thousands of hinges from piano to shed door hinges.
Anyone know were I'm likely to find a pair of these please. :y TIA
This is on the right hand door.

This is the other half of above
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k17/Tiff4327/S73F2080.jpg)
and this is the gap it's been ripped off from

Are you sure it's broken, Andy? It looks more like it's just slid off it's mating half to me.. unless the threads on the grub screw captive in the hinge side are stripped? (In which case you could probably just find a replacement screw)
IIRC it should be held fixed to the fixed side by the screw still present in the fixed side, and it should just slide on (but I could have the screws backasswards, it's been a while since I had to mess with one of those infernal inventions)
-
That doesn't look broken to me. Just slide it back on and tighten it up. Jobs a good 'un.
-
Yep, thirded. Not broken. Just needs refitting. Planty of adjustment options. Quite good fun (honest)
-
Fourth opinion thats it's not broken.
Not unusual for the screw on the carcass plate to strip - just find another screw.
Also make sure the flat back part of adjusting screw (on the hinge itself) locates & slides into the square slot on the carcass plate as the forked end of the hinge goes onto the back screw.
Door up & down height adjustment is done by the carcass plate screws (4 off 2 on each plate) side to side adjustment is done by the screw in each hinge.
Crikey this is hard to explain :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
cuppa required after that :D :D :D
hope this helps. got loads of spare ones here
but I'm in Southend ;D ;D ;D

Defo just needs to be retightened.
I work for Screwfix and had a customer in a few weeks ago in a similar situation,she had brought both parts with her and couldn't work out how they went back together.
It is quite a common thing on these hinges for them to work loose with time,no one gives them a second thought(bit like checking tyre pressures :-[)

just re-attach, and tighten the far right screw on this picture:

slide it back in and tighten it up, then adjust the front screw on the hinge to line it up

when you tighten the back screw when connecting both parts together, you adjust the front screw top and bottom to line it up with the other door or cupboard edge, this may loosen the back screw slightly so make sure you tighten the back one again after for extra lock. :y

that middle screw should not be on there, this could be the reason its come loose, that looks like its been put there cause the origianl screws are no longer on the hinge as you have wood screws holding the hinge plate to the cupboard
-
C'mon lads. I use spanners for a living. I photo'd the NON broken hinge :y :y :y
In the first photo, it's broken where it hinges in the door. ;)
-
This is the bit that's broken, I was showing the complete hinge, perhaps I should've given a better explanation. ;)

and should be hinging on the pin that has the spring on it

easier for kids to rip it off when they open the door too much

Sorry Andy, seems most of us took it that the pic was the problem one ::) ::) ::) ::) -- Screwfix do several page 232 in the latest book .
Think they sell them in packs of 2. Well under a fiver a pair. Best to take your original along to the store to match up as they do vary slightly.
You could probably search them out from the Screwfix online Catalogue. :y :y

Too slow typing as usual me :-[ :-[ :-[
Sure your're sorted now though ;D ;D

Thanks Richie & Al :y

There was some extra guff on the end of the link from somewhere - that one should work :)
[edit] Although .. are these closer to yours? http://www.screwfix.com/p/sprung-hinge-35mm-165-pack-of-2/57874

Neither hinge is what I've got here. The required hinge holds the right hand door (ie the missing door ) at 90 deg - as viewed from the front - to the left door, so the hinge is covering 270 degs inside the cupboard. When you open the double doors, the broken hinge should allow the right door to open slightly to clear the cupboard to it's right. There is only a very slight movement before the left door opens on its 165 deg hinge.

There's an ebay shop called KBB products that sells all sorts of kitchen componants. Very good value and they have a range of hinges. Worth a try :y
