Aluminium Extruded "Hinges" Anyone?

[American Dream]

Hi,

I have been looking to replace the aluminium around my LPG Locker door.

Has anyone used/sourced the aluminium hinge material at the top please?

Photo attached.It has flats on each piece to attach to the top of the door and the RV the same as a normal hinge.

I could replace the whole lot but cannot find a similar door shape.:Sad:

Would piano hinge do as a substitute ?

Try your local caravan repair shop. All euro caravan windows are fitted the same way.

Hiya Brian.

I must admit that had crossed my mind.

Would have to be stainless though.

Any ideas on suppliers?

Many Thanks.:thumb:

my first look is www.rswww.com

38 hits from "piano hinge".

I'm sure Mr Google would prove many more - oh, not many, only 430,000 hits.

Why Stainless ? I'd have thought ali on ali less corrosive.

Good point.I'm just after something Durable and non corroding.
Does anyone still use Solvol Autosol?
