How do I replace lift-off hinges on a steel framed door?

Hi.  One of my hinges has snapped and I have no idea where to get a replacement hinge.

Hi @paulrmb,

 

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it's great to have you with us.

 

These hinges are often referred to as lift off hinges. You will have to match up the size of the hinge, and the handedness in order to replace them. Unfortunately, it is not possible to replace only half, you will have to purchase the full hinge and have an unused part.

 

Measure the height and width of the plate as well as the diameter of the pin as this will be important to match up as closely as possible. With these measurements, head in store and match them up with a suitable replacement, it would even be handy to remove the piece from the door and bring it with you.

 

Let me know if this helps or if you require further assistance.

 

Jacob
