External Locker Access Door Hinges

[prb]

Looking for some help in sourcing at least one external locker door hinge as per the images.
Looks like the fitted one seized some time ago - I thought it was just stiff - and has finally given up.
I have searched the infamous online auction site without success so hoping a Funster can point me at a reliable source.

Not sure what size your current hinges are, but having a quick look it does look like they are Autocruise hinges which apparently O'Leary Motorhomes brought the entire stock of https://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Hints-and-Tips/Stiff-locker-hinge/29512/
Depending on the size you could look at purchasing some standard flag hinges and then drill the relevant holes https://www.cateringhardwaredirect.co.uk/products/flag-hinges?variant=29540616405053

Thank you SteveJ, I have mailed O'Leary's for a stock enquiry.
E S Hartley also has something that looks very similar, but not cheap.

You should try contacting Burstner for Elegance cab door hinges. Eye watering prices. And you need 2 per door.

Thank you for the input A S R , but as per my original post, it is locker hinges, not door hinges that I need.

It was more about them not being cheap.
I contacted Burstner about my door hinges because they too were getting very stiff so I thought I’d get some new ones. Not at that price I won’t.

Sorry, A S R , I've just re-read your post and realised you weren't suggesting a source, just the eye watering amounts that suppliers charge. Mea culpa.

A S R , it appears that these type of hinges becoming stiff over time is a fairly common issue. Not sure if your Burstner hinges have a plastic liner inside them or not, if not the suggested way to maintain them is to take the hinge off, dismantle it and then give the hole part a gentle ream with either a file or a drill bit, a gentle sand on the pin part and then reassemble with a bit of lithium grease. I did the hinges on my gas locker a few years ago as the door was getting very stiff, worked like a charm, only issue is that the door shuts in the slightest breeze so I have to hold it open most of the time when I need to get things in/out.

I give mine a periodic spray with WD40 then to clean then few squirts of 3 in 1

When I recovered from the near £800 price for 4 new hinges I decided to try to rejuvenate mine. There were small plugs of some sort of silicone in the tops of where the hinge pins were so I dug that out and kept “filling” the top with WD40. Once it had soaked in I kept topping it up over a few weeks and it has certainly loosened them off. In the next couple of weeks I’ll unbolt them one at a time, stick them in a vice, carefully tap the top and bottom sections off ( the only parts that move ) and give them a very light sanding to smooth them off. once they’re moving freely I’ll grease them up with something ( lithium you say )and bolt them back on.
Absolutely ridiculous price from Burstner so hopefully I can save mine.
Hope you get yours sorted.

WD40 is not a lubricant, clean with it but use a lubricant afterwards

To avoid sticking hinges I use Silicone Polish squirt in the hinges and rub with a cloth do this about twice a year also use it on the rubber seals on windows and the ratchet window locks
Works brilliantly.
Occasionally my wife gives me a rub down with it as well but that's a different story

Silicone spray is good too, rather than silicone polish.
