How to fix broken door on laundry sink cabinet?

Hi all,

 

We need to fix the broken hinges on this old laundry sink cabinet. Any suggestions?

Re: How to fix broken door on laundry sink cabinet?

Hello @tina_moyle 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your laundry tub hinge.

 

There are two general types of hinges for laundry tubs. First, is the single steel post that goes from top to bottom. If the post pin deteriorates the hinge actually drops down and it will look like the hinge is broken. A quick fix is to pull the steel pin back up to secure the door and a bulldog clip is attached at the top to stop the pin from dropping.

 

The second type is plastic, it will be necessary to identify the type of laundry tub you have so that the spare parts team can order you a replacement. Would it be possible for you to post a photo of the broken hinge? This will give our members a chance to assess its condition and location. We can then make recommendations on possible alternative repairs.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
