Older door hinges

With a 1998 model (preloved), we found some hinges had been replaced and what we could get in caravan parts stores were flimsy and soon broke. Looking for decent cupboard hinges with a spring in them, we found them in Bunnings. No breakages since.

They looked something like this

Our van is a 99 model with exactly the same hinges & have had a few break over the years.
I usually keep a couple in my spares kit just in case. They have been so far, readily available from at least a couple of the major hardware chains like "Home Hardware", "Bunnings" & I seem to remember picking some up at large independent at some stage.
Usually they come in at least 2 colours so take a sample along, 1 is "Florentine Bronze" & the other "Copper" (I think)???.
I don't know how your van is set up but ours has a couple of cupboard doors, one that was about a 1200 mm high & another about 900. The taller one had only 3 hinges & the shorter only 2 so I added 2 more to the taller & 1 to the shorter of the doors & no they didn't look out of place or over crowding.
Doing that gave them both extra support & we have had a lot less trouble.
Anyway, hope that Helps,

Cheers Sundy.

Thanks guys, will go and check out Bundlings and grab a few next time we head to town (we live 130km from our closest town - Esperance WA) It was one of the little cupboards under the kitchen drawers, looks like 'somebody' has opened it too far, too many times and the corrugations just finished it off. Does anyone know if you can get the lockable door handles - ours are the plastic ones and for some reason we have a mixture of brown and white ones. Would like to replace all the dodgy ones.

Ours is a 1999 model and the hinges are available from Bunnings. Knobs and latches and almost anything you would need is available from Caravans Plus which is an online store. I have used them many times and find them excellent to deal with.

Being so far from town you may find the online services better than running all around the van dealers etc. I know I do.

I had a buggered slide on one of my new drawers and had also broken my second hinge.
I asked the factory to post a replacement slide to PO Darwin and they sent three new hinges as well - No charge. Nice.
